samm_cvr6 0 Posted September 17, 2004 Understandably there is often a lot of talk about how low the mileage on people's Corrado's but as this car is very well built I w as wondering what the highest mileage is people have on there Corrado's :? particularly VR6'S mine has 133k and still feels really new but t hen I have never owned another Corrado before so don't have much to compare to. :wink: Thanks Sam.

Henny 0 Posted September 19, 2004 Henny, Do you commute to Addis Abbaba ?? Nope, Salford Quays, although it feels a similar distance some mornings! :roll: I do have a habit of going for a little drive some nights which can end up somewhere silly like Cardiff, just 'cos I was bored and my insomnia had kicked in again... :| (I live near Macclesfield, so you can gauge how far that is! :oops: ) Mines up to about 170K, but the clocks in the dash say 45K :) I am the same as henny adding close to 20K a year! Proper Corrado driving eh Henny! :) Jay Definately mate... and my clocks have got about the same amount of milage missing off 'em too, although not by my choice... :roll: :lol: I don't see the point in having a car I've put this much work into if I'm not gonna enjoy it... that's why I bought the car in the first place! 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
