Keyo

Put a date forward and I will be there and Im sure Goldfinger will be as well as not far away.

Yes mate that would be good- just making it a priority now to start enjoying the car and using her .

Went to Gilkes Cafe Kineton today with my old stubborn mate Robin in his 60s from Stealth in his aqua blue VR - he didnt let me down when he cut up a new 180 K Aston Martin into a parking space followed by a Ferrari owner saying out loud that was naughty ha ha - oh my cant take him anywhere. The Volkswizard (youtube channel) turned up and I was showing him round my VR- he was in a MK7 Club sport S - was a a smart car and only 150 made in RHD he reckons - what a bloody investment and fun car that is- looks the business . He looked a bit bewildered looking at my Rado and im pretty sure he didn't even know some of the parts existed- he let me know he had purchased a Green Rado VR6 with cream Leather - Low and behold finally Mike Brewer turned up in a Porsche Taycan to charge it up at Gilkes plug in charger - apparently his local - I reframed from the can I have a photo mate as it was his day off . The food is great and cheap. I was very lazy with the camera but one of the staff was taking photos of the cars so they may post up on their Facebook page. One car that caught my eye was a dark blue E46 330i convertible- these can be had for peanuts and are beautiful car. https://www.facebook.com/gilksgaragecafe

Im up for it mate.

Looking good mate- can you just turn up on a week night without pre booking - and do they charge on a week night ? I don't go on the weekend because I'm not paying a tenner to the owner to park there when he is raking it in and the food is shite and expensive. , I recommend this place its free and a bit more quite and only space for 20 or so cars - I went there a couple of weeks back and there was a new McLaren- 964 - Renault gt turbo - real nice mix of motors and chilled out folks. No charge or pre booking. https://gilksgaragecafe.com/

Sure mate the ownership is full of highs and lows and certainly a cult car.

Thanks mate. I love her but when you realise the MK2 + Rado VR6 all in renovation cost and purchase- well its 996 GT3 money and they will be worth 100 k in ten years and you can always get the parts - free motoring and raw performance. Its my fault really car ocd ha.

I know Vince at Stealth told me Canada has been a place that some of his clients sourced VSR - I asked the best place to find one and he mentioned Canada - they are out there- as mentioned above look out for MK3 golf VR in the classifieds and study the engine bays - you never Know your luck.

Seeing a lot of corrado on facebook in the USA and Canada I would certainly say yours is one of the best - Canada has some nice cars and options but the USA they all seem trashed the Corrado I see. I see it on the 997 facebook group too - the Americans do some horrid bad mods to the cars and wreck them - obviously not everyone . I coulnt imagine selling Black Magic as I think their could be some horrid comments seems a thing in the VW world. From all my cars own and owned the Corrado has the best group of people - I really do need to do some road trips now and enjoy her- would be good to have a FORUM MEET !!!!!!!

I sold a Schrick for £1500.00 2 months back to a friend but on an open market would not be surprised if in great condition and complete kit nearer towards 2k.

GLWS a lot of effort/ detailed advert.

I must ADMIT my car hobby has become a bad addiction im actually 35k into my my VR6 with purchase- rare parts and full renovation. Im not very confident in the VW classic world values compared to BMW and Porsche- even that of Ford - Renault and the Pugs. Bit of a travesty really as the VR would hammer most of these cars and are a great looker. Im not sure what a fully restored car would fetch with possibly the only VW in the world to have my options including VSR- speedlines VWMS - VWMS gear box- all the other bits like recaro and - audioscapes and gauge pods and more. Would I even get near 25K ? been a one off and fully restored- they have a limited market the Corrado - you get in that deep there is no way out lol . If i ever sold my car I would hate to have to take the parts I collected as feel like I put together a unique car but only attractive to Corrado folks that know their stuff. In regards to a VSR they are a solid 3k now if you want one in Europe . 2 scrapers nos sold for bloomin £600.00 its sickening some of the prices . Right now my MK2 and corrado sometimes I just think keep 997 and sell the classics and get a few year old S5 - trust me I would be better off and have more time to fish and do other hobbies ha.

Shit me the 964 RS in marine blue is all ready up to 180 k with 5 days left- I remember when these were 30k and im sure even less and folks purchased them for track days. The 997 GT RS is doing really well as well 305k - the 997 R the one with the retro interior just daft monet. The GT on 735 k - wow - Porsche are and always will be the best mainstream manufacturer investment in the car industry .

Geri trust me there are more - he has 3 or 4 964 RS alone - video below chap with the whole collection. I just think there are that many they are splitting the cars in lots. I Imagine Leonard was the creator of carboard roll in toilet paper or something like that- or maybe a divorcee solicitor.

Awesome advert mate- the Yanks have always loved a body kit to be fair - I wonder what the alloys are in the picture. My Zender kit is missing the fixing kit- is it just a case of some tiger seal you reckon to house them.

Anyone got crap loads of money to spend . The Porsche Leonard collection up for sale . https://collectingcars.com/leonard

Coul be it has the sticker dimensions on the description .

Hmmmm next time I make an order I might find out what this cheap sticker is for the corrado. https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/en/fahrzeugaufkleber-corrado-hinterglasaufkleber.html

I just sold a set of BBS RC 322 size 16 5x 100 to a New Zealand chap living down London - they are a very light wheel but very hard to get a set in size 16 more common in 17 and 18- in fact you can still by the 18s new from classics. I had a lump in my throat letting them go to be honest as they look brilliant on a corrado. BBS RX226 have always ;looked good. All these wheels are really hard to get now in a size 16 to be honest. Its even hard to get a set of Sebrings !

That mild champagne colour is oil stain residue bled into the plastic. VHT 800 degree silver gives it an nice finish followed by a Lacquer.

Pull the tape 😄!

Ohh and 400 percent profit - not bad. ha. You can buy some really good copies of the caps now For 70 euro including postage so if you can grab a cap less set for a bargain its worth it - mine cost £ 200.00 and caps 70 euro.

The only time I have seen them are on breakers cars in Europe- Ebay ebay kleinanzeigen If you google corrado Kamei corrado Zender There is a silver breakers car in Germany on there that has some zender parts and some BBS RM with missing caps- also has a Kamei kit minus front and rear bumper . Something normally comes up but its rare to see a complete kit - the front splitters got damaged a lot. Its a shame so many shit kits are out there and not one of them could make a copy kit of Kamei the dumb ass holes. Problem with the site is a lot of the Germans are not very trusting and dont accept paypal - I just ordered a Right) side grab handle A pillar upper trim (passenger LHD) because I like a grab handle on drivers side.

I would say there would be some intensest for sure - im ok myself as have now a strict policy x2 sets of alloys per car. Although these would be sweet and just sell the stock 15s and these are basically stock just larger.

Bit of an update on Black Magic mini build. Closing in on the finishing line. O2a gearbox is been built up with the VWMS 5 + 6 add on . I also stumbled across this lone pair of nos Zender side skirts from Australia which I want just to give the car a bit more Aero width along side the spoonfed extended spoiler. I tell you what though wouldn't an early g60 Zender build be a great project minus the over spoiler for me though anyone got one in the UK . Has anyone got a set of these Zender skirts think there might be a couple of types knocking about Im also a big fan of Goldfinger Kamei X! kit which his aware of ha. It would be rude to not add an X1 Kamei - its look real classy - one with the mobile phone from 1990 or 91 brochure.
