  1. nice work andy i know from my years of PC/application/server/network support roles that the first port of call of things to check when something goes wrong is always 'what has been changed recently' ;)
  2. Oooo an envelope has just landed on my desk with chocolado for me & the gf :D mic_VR your true to your word & in great spirit! thank you for the chocolatey goodness from both of us :)
  3. cracking videos & great racing! i really enjoyed watching these :D in the 1st race the mini didnt leave you much room to pass after he went onto the grass did he!! ive had some good fun with a siera cosworth 4*4 myself, after a couple of fun miles he pulled over & waved me past with a big thumbs up lol
  4. having given up a fair amount of hard earned cash for the paint work i had done, both sides & bonnet, i would never skimp on cost again the 'reputable' body shop didnt do all of the work agreed, they were meant to paint up to roof rail line on both sides but only went up to bottom of door window on passenger side & didnt remove the door handle either, & the bonnet has ended up with micro blistering all over it as either the panel wasnt cleaned properly or their airline or spray booth were contaminated in some way i would rather have the old 'night sky' stone chipped bonnet than one with millions of bl00dy pimples. i think even old faded & marked paint looks better than a shoddy respray good luck if you go for it but please beware
  5. oh dear thats a very much 2 boo's & 1 yay of a thread sorry to hear bout your unfortunate days!! any news on what might have been the problem? Ooo the arrival of chocolado! i wonder if my post box will be full later :)

  7. that said......i would still love it to complete the collection ;) lol
  8. yup!! ebay alert!! with exception of those trying to make a quick coin it really is nice BUT its tornado red & they can be utterly awful for paint fade :(

  12. might be a week or 3 until they are on the car but there are before & after refurb pics on page 4 of my build thread http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=44751&page=4&highlight=g0ldf1ng3r
  13. quote roger blassberg B4 (1994 - 1997) Passat glass sunroof especially from an estate fits almost perfectly. They are more reliable than the Corrado too. Best wishes RB Edit: that was copied from 2 posts above yours kev ;)
  14. sounds interesting & in the area (kind of) what sort of options & prices do you offer?
  15. ive no experience of a G60 but IIRC superchargers are there to provide a low rev range boost (rather than a turbo for the later stages of rev's) was there any history regarding a supercharger rebuild in your documents? plug it into a VAG-COM if you can & check for faults im sure someone on here will kow how to tell if your charger has an issue good luck
  16. very nice ditty indeed there leopan :D
  17. i decided to go with black centres & polished lips on the BBS splits for the white valver - cant wait to see what they will turn out like....got the repaired wheel ready to collect today
  18. love it! PM on the way mic_VR ooo i wonder what chocolado it will be :)
  19. my god this place is cracking me up in hysterics today!!! :)
  20. ahhh i hadnt looked around for a 'remake' of similar wheels. ferrari's didnt have compomotives if im correct but the modena's were also 3 piece splits ;) when i was looking around a perfect set of the autostrada's (polished, no kurb marks etc etc) can fetch up to $3000 in the states these are the 'proper' ones i want....& the ones i missed & should have brought grrrrr (i even PM'd the guy who sold them here to ask if he knew if the purchaser was going to actually use them but no joy) http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=80650 if i see any you might like i will post & please if ANYONE sees any autostrada's pretty please let me know
  21. where did you find ferrari wheels EJ? ive been hunting some 16" autostrada modena's for months & am still kicking myself in the balls for not buying the set that popped up on here :( ive tried googling all types of search strings but only ever find links to old posts from years ago the 2nd image down is pretty close to them too
  22. do we not have some great cake makers on here too....as well as cake fans?
  23. give me Chocolado :D :D :D ha couldnt resist! love it when the odd thread goes on a tangent
