khurrado 0 Posted September 17, 2004 As i was walking out of my local petrol station last week, just off the a3, i felt it hard to miss the porsche 944 and 928 parked almost parallel to my rado. As i pulled my jaw back of the dirt, i noticed 2 familiar gentleman walk past....unfortunately i dont now their names, but it wasnt geremy, it was the little one and the tall posh dude. We said hello, and i mentioned the corrado, and immediately the littel bloke was like "where is it". He loved my car He couldnt stop looking at it, although he couldnt tell if it was a vr or not Anyways, what however was very unfortunate, was when i asked them a little mechanical advice they had absolutely no idea what i was talking about. Completely clueless we all got in our cars and i waited till they started moving and pulled up; in fvornt of them. All 3 of us in a line, waiting to rejoin the a3 to central london, and just as i felt the grunt of impatience from the prosche behind me ( little chap was following the posh chap) all they saw was my dust on the i r windscreens. I breifly saw a vain attempt to overtake the vehicles behind me (30m or so) but they had no chance. I dont think any of them know how to drive other than clarkson. Funny old world isnt it. b4 i left i asked thme to do a mention to the corrado, hopeful that the enigma of vw will get the mention it deserves!!!!!!!!!!!

anubis 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Hammond was the one who did the "future classics" bit on the corrado VR6 last year........looked like he loved the car when he was doing the review. I think the Corrado club of Canada has it to download 8) priceless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khurrado 0 Posted September 17, 2004 sh*t all this talk of corrados is making me miss my baby, im gna have to leave work a little early and go home and "wax that ass". Sorry if i seem to be confusing my car with my mrs, but they do have a lot in common. Beautiful, powerful, expensive and soon to be a classic. (what she doesnt know wont hurt her) im taking my corrado to the carribean for our honeymoon! heh heh and anyways, when i say wax that ass, ill be doing that to both b4 the sun goes down. I think its time i shut up now - its friday, been a long week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khurrado 0 Posted September 17, 2004 James May ;) is that the posh guy, cos he was a good bloke. Very friendly, and he didnt mind too much that i was kinda off my head at the time. i think he found it rather amusing(not alcohol related) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gman 0 Posted September 17, 2004 as good as the show is I still think that Jeremy is a plonker. from what I have heard he is not a very good driver. he picked up a new car ( I think it was the last series) up north and drove it back to the studio to do the test on it. he drove the whole way back with the handbrake on and then when the brakes were not as good as the claim he said it was a shit car. cant remember what car it was but have heard this from a few ppl in the industry. he also distoryed that wonderful LeMans jag. that was a bit of motoring history and he was just disrespectfully. just my 2p worth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted September 17, 2004 They are all bloody annoying!!! I also think Jeremy is not a god driver as the programme makes out. Tiff Needell (whilst still a bit odd) was the only motoring journalist that can really drive a car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiff Needell (whilst still a bit odd) was the only motoring journalist that can really drive a car. Well come on!!!! Even if he had not had a racing career he would still be a better driver...especially with a name like... Tiff Needell!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
