Number plate light please. I'll phone tomorrow. -
I spoke to Gareth in depth about the fact id always feel it was his car and i feel that is down to the rarity of the colour combination and the sheer overall quality of it. Its never been a car that screems "look at me" and that is its appeal to me and to many others no doubt. When i phoned the insurance and we discussed modifications there really aren't that many, it is a super clean mildy modified car. It is from here that i would like to continue, to enjoy it and yes put my own angle on the car, after all if i started with a completely blank and unknown canvas there would be a lot in common with how this car is.. There are always things to do with this car, I'm just very fortunate that some of the big jobs that are lurking for all Corrados, no matter how clean, have been done, cooling system, brakes, bearings etc.. There won't be anything done that doesn't fit with the current cars image.. Today i have enjoyed doing a few miles, i was very nervous when i first drove the car so i just want to get to know it.. I have changed the original stereo for a bang up to date sony unit that has the correct colour illumination and other than that i have given it a good wash. BBS RS, no longer with the car. I assure you i am their number one fan and i didn't really want to like the Compomotives when i first saw pictures of them but goodness me they look the business, they show all the details of the brakes and arches.. I have no intention of making a change in that department, i suppose you never know though...

Suprised????

Ok, thats me home.. What can i say, to drive a Corrado of this quality is so lovely. I haven't driven one since my old Storm and I'm so glad it is better than i remember. The driving position, feel of the car well you all know the score, wow... So, yes, the car, it is silver and i am very grateful to have an opportunity to own such a fabulous car that has had every compliment going, today i had the pleasure of finding out exactly why.. So a massive thank you to Gareth and very nice to have met you for more than a two minute chat, this car is only as good as it is because of his attention to detail, it hasn't happened by magic.. Plans, not much, pamper, enjoy, get to know the car and make an appearance at a show or two when i can although it will be a while..

Thank you for the positive comments on my old one, i have contacted the current owner for an update so we will see what he comes back with.. Not green this one.... And so the journey begins....

I know its the old cliche but these cars are addictive... I am very proud of my old one, i must admit i know very little of where it is now but i will try and find out... I look forward very much to this one.... i know geography means that all shows are miles away but it will be making appearances when work lets me..

Well, its been 3 years now since i sold my Corrado Storm on and i know everyone says "you'll miss it, you'll be back in another" and surprise surprise they are right. I have missed the car a lot but at the time circumstances meant it had to go and a very good offer came my way. I have had some enjoyable cars since but nothing has fully filled the void, yeah the Mk1 is a pretty car and the Mk4 V6 is a very versatile car but I've never been fully content... So, i have kept an eye on the market and the going on within the forum (I've missed some good group buys!!).. I almost by accident stumbled across the new VR6 whilst asking about something different and after a lengthy chat the intention is to make the journey to collect tomorrow.. Ill reveal more tomorrow but being honest I am thrilled to be re-entering the fold in such a great car.. In the mean time here are some of my old Corrado (one of the two and a half I've had)..
