ozowen 2 Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) Well as most Corrados were heading to Harewood House, I was going to go it alone and provide a Corrado at the above event. Granted; this was partly due to being only 20 minutes away rather than the few hours for shows like Stanford, All Types and Tatton park. Also the times we'd gone before it had been very good. Well; numbers are definately down, the car parks used to be full, with the paddock area just for the club stands and those destined for the track, this year, we all fitted on the paddock. That said the bro and I thought we'd be gone by midday but the event offers;(weathering permitting) a lovely place to just chill in the sun whilst watching, ney praying they all get safely round the track in one piece. Highlight of the day: the parade lap, they decided to do 2 the first at the usual dinnertime slot the second just before wrap up. We decided to pay for the second one, but then the anouncement came "It's free to anyone" cash reimbursed about 40 cars took to the track marshalled by a lead car but the nice part as you aligned yourself with the press / photo car which then duly took a few for the album; once released you had a good half of the circuit free to hit the loud pedal (MOST ENJOYABLE). So in summary for the odd local member near Castle Coombe its worth a call in.....for those that wish to test the old girl, the circuit is 'one of the best', and if the weather is nice and sunny and you have nothing planned 'it is a perfect way to spend the day'.

Dialynx new toy, I believe it does hill climbs. Only went round a few times but my god was it quick. Modified 2.0T hence number plate.......wonder what happened to the original engine, will have to find out next time I visit the garage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edd 0 Posted August 24, 2016 Corrado's looking lovely. The mk1 owner (show and shine winner) is a friend of mine. Was his dad's car originally, looks a bit different now though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Bless him; I read the history, fair play to him, what a beautiful example, granted people might question the transformation from a standard MK1 but I thought it was beautiful and thoroughly deserved. If he wants to wet his fingers on somethigng else,I've got an original,to me; Corrado that needs that loving care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
