g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted April 5, 2016 Also will see some of my work in that magazine - a half page advert for the Corrado Club :) Can't wait to pick it up for the Corrado feature though - see how well it scores against the competition! nice jim - I didn't know you did any publishing/design :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 5, 2016 nice jim - I didn't know you did any publishing/design :) You mean other than putting the Sprinter magazine together which I've been doing for nearly a decade? :) Publishing / design is a strong word as I'm an absolute amateur no doubt about it but I can do a bit, and it's enough to make the CCGB magazine at least, and occasional things like this for the club. The advert is nothing more than a lightly fettled photo with some text over it but.. still.. better than nothing I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuggs1 10 Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) OK - got my copy and pretty happy with the write up - a few technical details they have wrong - but really good although not sure they liked my colour ?? I think its the best.. Any way - they rated it as the best of the 5 cars. Final paragraph.... "But only one coupe kept us coming back for more - the wonderful Corrado VR6. Its a genuine drivers car that actively involves you in the process of belting along a good road. Its already going up in value and will continue to do so. And right now, it makes you feel like a hero whenever you drive it. Oh and it looks pretty good too" On top of that there's two pages of enthusiastic write up - get a copy - worth a read. Gives values at useable £4500, Good £7000 and concours £9000 Edited April 16, 2016 by Chuggs1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuggs1 10 Posted April 16, 2016 Oh and opening line.... "Golf GTI deftness and aggressive looks and one of the best V6s in the business - get into one of these while you still can afford to buy one"................. Love it!!! and soooo true! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hisnibs 10 Posted April 17, 2016 Where did everyone get a copy? Tried a big Tossco earlier (bit of a long shot I know), and drew a blank at WHSmithys as well. Is this an online order mag or summat? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
