Can't go wrong with a Canon, I've got a 1100D which is their base model and it's awesome. I paid £150 for mine 2nd hand so I sure £400 should get you something nice and maybe a spare lens as well.

Thanks for the replies fella's, Rob are you every down in Plymouth? Would mind a look round yours if that is possible.
Also, is there a buyers guide anywhere on the forum, I pretty much know CRX's like the back of my hand but VW's are a new thing for me (apart from a Mk2 Scirrocco I had 20 odd years ago, Christ Im getting old...lol)

Evening all, I'm Roger and I'm from sunny Plymouth.
A long story short... many moons ago when I was a young man I owned a Mk2 Scirocco and loved it, I always said that when I eventually grew up I would treat myself to a nice Corrado.. IMO the successor to the mighty 'rocco'
Anyway time moves on and after a few years playing with Alfa's (a lovely 1.7 Sudsprint and a Veloce coverleaf 33) I went all Jap and had a long term relationship with Honda CRX's, one of which I kept for over 7 years and ended up turbo charging.. (wish I never sold it)..
Anyway, I've done CRX's to death and TBH I've grown up a bit now (it's only taken me 43 years lol) so a Corrado is back on the cards.
I'd really like a nice VR6 but am also thinking of maybe a tidy 16v and then retro fitting the 1.8 turbo engine that seems to live in most hot VAG models these days... anyone done this conversion on here??
That's me chaps... BTW long shot I know but if anyone close to Plymouth would be able to show me around their Corrado that would be great.

Afternoon, I've just had a look at the buyers guide and noticed that the links at the end of the thread do not work (just get the arse)
I'm using firefox.
