Corrado spotting - July 2004

Recommended Posts

Black VR6 storm.M***WWU.

YAY!Finally managed to put up a "spotted" that maybe someone else knows of or has seen.

Spotted in carpark in Kirkwall,Orkney today.

Not a local car and probably not someone on here. :(

Rare enough to find a holidaymaker driving all the way here in thier C here,let alone a Storm! :o 8)

Sadly,I wasn't in my G60,but the trusty old white Mk2 GTI.

Sure it wasn't Mystic Blue :wink:

Not sure mate.Looked black to me.

Haven't seen a Mystic blue Corrado so wouldn't know.Could have bought the badges and stuck them on I suppose....

It did have 5 spoke alloys,which looked like the original VW ones(Estorils?Sebrings?Help me out here!) :?

tbh......mystic blue doesn't look like black in most lights....in fact in bright sunlight its a very noticable purple.........in dull light ive found it looks more blue than black............also the storm alloys are 6-spoke affairs....the standard VR has 5-spoke speedlines however..........by the sounds of it......you've seen a midnight blue or a black VR with storm badges on it

 

 

did it have leather interior too?....if so what colour?

I saw a red Corrado this morning (Thursday 29th) on the A414 in Harlow - he was going out to the M11 area - and i was on my way in to work - - this was about 8:20am - this was the first time a fellow C driver has waved at me - unfortunately by the time i realised what was going on he had gone! (It was early!!)

 

 

Also... saw another Corrado close to the Dartford Tunnel Wednesday evening about 5:45pm - he was heading anti clock round the M25 and i was approaching the tolls - didnt get to see much - and cos ive seen so many recently i've totally forgotten what colour it was too :roll:

Saw another couple today,

 

1. White think it was a 'valver, H801***, you were on Trinity Way, Manchester about 3pm this afternoon.

2. Red, don't know which model, H373***, you were in Grimsargh near Preston around 5pm today.

 

Both occasions I was in my tractor engined repmobile :( , so I didn't wave, but you may have seen me having a good look.

My run of seeing at least one Corrado everyday continues :D yesterday on the way home on the A414 then M11 at about 5:25 i saw a Corrado 1.8 - dark blue - K-reg - and as you pulled up to the traffic light i was busy putting a CD on and trying to find my phone -then i look up and see a Corrado right next to me :shock:

 

We both went on the M11 for a while - but i was not able to drive in any sort of convoy due to an irritatingly over aggressive jaguar driver!

I just spent 2 nights visiting a pal in Towcester and saw 2 C's in 1 day within 1/2 mile of each other.

 

1(G60) was in the garage just off the village square, and the other (VR) in the "TOTAL" garage, using the jetwash machine which I'd just left !

 

What an amazing coincidence.

Dragon Green Storm with a custom number plate (don't remeber the initials I am afraid) bombing down Albany Road past Chandos Motors at about 9:30am this morning! Quite surprised to see that as I have never seen that car around in Coventry before :)

Who owns the grey 16v (I think) in aberdeen, same colour as Brians but with added white smoke belching out the back :shock:

 

Looked and sounded good as it drove past my place until I saw it later with the smoke. Nice looking car - hopefully getting fixed up :)
