I'm in Chorlton too! Don't get to take mine out much, but see loads when I'm out on the bike. There's a nice blue VR6 that's been lowered, but has a big dent in the front wing that I keep seeing. There was a red Kplate in the garage opposite the bus station that looked sweet. There's another I see in Chorlton a bit that has been dropped to the floor. Corrado-cum-Hardy.

You're in/around Buxton? I hail from Peak Forest originally, before I headed South for the filthy lucre. Gonna be up there on the August bank holiday weekend - helping run Hope Show on the Monday (between Hope and Castleton). If you're going, come and say hello - I'll be up at the vintage tractors/vintage engines tent helping Mum and Dad (long story!)

 

Hi George- Going from your name/ location/ username I think I probably went to secondary school with you- and you went to my dads primary school- if I am right you currently work as a race car mechanic- which is why you now own such a cracker of a car 8) . Nice colour- am not around the Monday but would like to see the car- what about Sat/Sun? If you are someone else I apologise but I'll probably still know you if you are from PF.

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

By "my dad's primary school" are you either Michael or Daniel Bower or even Debbie?!

 

I'll be around PF all weekend - gonna be at the showground setting up and stuff, but not for the entire day. Where are you gonna be and when? PM me your mobile no. and I'll do the same.

 

Not a race car mechanic as such - actually work on the McLaren road cars - SLR etc. Just changed job actually - vehicle package design, so deciding vehicle architecture/where stuff best fits etc. Beats farming sheep in Derbyshire anyway! :lol:

 

Cheers,

George.

Actually - just re-read earlier post from 'Ice White Socks' - "Mike" as signature I think answers my question! Derrrr! :oops:

 

Cheers,

George.

['H3R4POR]Had a very strange day yesterday.

 

I usually see one Corrado every 4-5 weeks, yesterday I saw 5 in under 10 minutes, plus one this morning.

 

First was a Blackberry VR (I love that colour!!!) travelling towards Oxford on the A40, I overttok you, gave you a wave, then pulled over, you overtook me and gave me a wave, It was a beautiful thang. Very tidy C you have there mate (I am probably talking to myself here, never see anyone from the forum). reg was L*** VBY.

 

Please, one of these has to be from the forum!!!!!

 

That was me! I was on my way to Kidlington from Woking - I do this twice a week - must be mental - it's killing the car - 111k now, was 80k 20 months ago when I bought her :cry:

 

Sorry for the delay, but I've never checked out this bit of the forum before. It's Friday, I'm watching the clock drag sloooooooowly towards 6pm :sleeping: I take a look at the posts in here and hey - there I am! :crazyeyes:

 

Cheers for the nice comments. Porsche Design 90s going on when I finally get them all back from the refurbers (got three so far!)

 

Quality this forum - never ceases to make me smile

 

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

 

I actually spotted someone :shock:

 

Lovely car you have there mate, mines a bit beaten up atm :(

 

As I said above, I love that colour 8)

Haven't seen another Corrado for weeks and saw 2 today within half a mile of each other, both parked though. One in the Imberhorne Lane car park in East Grinstead and a black VR6 in the Birches ind estate just around the corner.
