  1. As with most popular sites - it was good in the beginning, but now full of Trolls - in both meanings of the word! http://www.hi5.com on the other hand.... ;) :offtopic1:
  2. We can tell that from the Faceparty profile ;)
  3. Modded up trick Crystal Xbox with 120gig HDD isn't that shameful ;)
  4. To quote another thread currently doing the rounds: "Bollocks" Oh well, there's always GT5. :) Or Forza Motorsport on the Xbox ;) (Pffffff, pappy PS2s... hehe)
  5. They can't use the eGroup as an official means of comms though - its against the regs of the Yahoo eGroups policy. Hence offering an official forum, but nevermind...
  6. For Sale: CCGB-branded Chocolate Tea Pot - only £15! Other items available: CCGB-branded Chocolate Fireguard - limited stock - only £7.50 each! Viva la Corrado Forum! :)
  7. The CCGB took circa. £15,000 in subs last year, and didn't do anything... Why do they need another £7,500? Everyone who received nothing last year should receive the club they paid for last year, this year, for free.... I suspect all these issues will be skirted around as per usual at the AGM. Pity I'm washing my hair. And (donning flame suit) - I am / was a fully paid up member. I will not be parting with £7.50 this year though.
  8. Maybe your Corrado isn't worthy, Steve. No suprise I'm not allowed either ;)

    locking up

    One would assume if he's asking about auto-closure on his windows - they would be electric ones ;)
  10. Therefore is it wise to be with such a company in the event of a claim?

    Loss of speedo

    The speedo is electrionic - so it'll be a bad wire somewhere. Plus, this is a forum, not an email group. Please leave discussions online so everyone can benefit rather than asking for people to email you personally.

    Rear lights....

    The problem with Lexus lights is that every car model I can think of, I've seen a chav with bad alloys, tatty bodywork, and lexus lights on its rear at some point over the past year. Oh hang on - don't think I've seen them on a Morris Minor yet... ;) Obviously I have 3rd party lights on mine - but I think they suit the C a lot more than the Lexus ones would. Plus, my MX5 sports Lexus lights - but it suits them very well :)
  13. Bare in mind people normally sell cars when they know a big bill is looming - and maybe they are bluffing in the fact the charger has 20k left on it... :shock: Have a read of THE Corrado Forum Buyer's Guide too. Might help :)

    ABS query

    When the light is on, the ABS system is completely disabled - as if its not there - so its more likely your braking which isn't used to a non-ABS car ;) Hehe 8) Unless you've warped a front hub or something which is flagging up the error and causing your braking to go mental....... sorry - worst case scenario there! I bent both my front hubs - £900 repair at VW!! (Done under warranty though - so was free to me ;))
  15. G-Laders need servicing every 60k - so it was late getting done before and is probably due now. I'd budget it into the sale - and make the seller aware. Talk to Darren @ G-Werks regarding cost - plus you might as well have it Stage 4'd, pullied and chipped to get some oomph into the car :) http://www.g-werks.com
  16. Erm, its not... IIRC: 1.8 / 2 = 16 G60 = 17 VR6 = 18 Storm = 19 Are you sure its not because your car is modified, its the equivalent of a group 17 insurance bracket?

    Rear lights....

    Would look good on a, erm, Lexus... 8) I'll get my coat......
  18. It's purely based on what care has been taken over the car in its life. I'd much rather have a 203,000 mile car which had had oil changes every 5k than a 60k'er which has never seen an oil change in its life! VW engines, if looked after, are good for 250-300k no probs :)
  19. You can order plates without proofs online though - so it is still easy...
  20. But aren't Skoda's still suffering from the worse depreciation rate in the 2nd hand car market? Might be a great car, but not worth it if 2 years later its only worth £3k.... I know they've come a long way from the rear-window-heater-to-warm-your-hands-when-pushing days, but they still, no matter how hard they try, carry a stigma which ruins the car's resale value. You currently own a car which isn't depreciating anymore - remember that - there's not many of those about!! :) P.S. All the Skoda's I ever see are parked on the taxi-rank outside my local train station at work.. ;)
  21. Bubbling on the side-skirts is fine - that's the under-coat salt protection thingy-ma-jig (can't remember what its called this late!)- not rust. At the back though - not a good sign.
  22. I second that, Steve. Anything should be an improvement! We all know that mods like this aren't to everyone's like. We also know that new mods like this are generally snubbed when first announced, then 6 months later its the thing to have! So, for now can we all keep the chav-bashing to yourselves on let those who want these lights read the updates from stevemac as he gets them.
  23. FurkiG60, agreed, black VR badge will probably go there instead :) Do the FK grills have the notches to put the badges in? Plus how much are they roughly - the grills - on ebay BuyItNow for £35-odd. GIXXERUK, pfff, yeah, I know. Couldn't be bothered :) It's in my Gallery pics too, so no biggy. Sorry, drifting :offtopic1: Bad Admin ;)
