DEL VR6

Hey Jim, what's the latest on this? Is it still in limbo / waiting for enough people? Do you take the payments up front to prevent people changing their minds?

Good lad! Think of the smiles per miles you'll get out of it, and as said, seeing as its been sat for 4 years, it's not really all that much to pay all things considered. Let us know how you get on. Bet you cant wait for that first drive once its done!

As said you'll lose august as it is only full months they give refunds on. Id still try and get it off to them early and obtain some proof of post with a date mark incase they try to wriggle out of anything. Or send it recorded so you at least know when they will have received it and it only costs 95p more to send it that way.

Hopefully will go to the NEC, like you say it's a great show. I try to miss a couple of years just so i don't get bored of it. Last time i went is the time i met you there on the Corrado owners club display. Hey, i know just what you mean about costs of going to to shows and the pinch. Long gone are the days when it was cheap to go and you could go to a show every couple of weekends! Great news that your P&J got another years ticket. Cant beat that feeling of driving out of the MOT station with a fresh years ticket in your hand! ---------- Post added at 9:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:39 PM ---------- Gareth, that's the coolest line I've heard like EVAR!! That porsche you saw is long gone, karmann ghia also went a couple of years ago. the beetle still queens it up in the garage! Are you going to the VWNW and will be OSV be there? ---------- Post added at 9:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:42 PM ---------- I don't why, but i kept them! To be fair, the tyres on those got close to being illegal and i had a set of stock looking 15" BBS with brand new tyres and i really didn't want to shell out on new tyres and so just did a wheel and tyre swap and the Borbets are in the garage..... ironically, i have sourced very good replacement tyres for those wheels but i have no Corrado to put them on now.

Alright jim? You coming to VWNW on Sunday? hope to see you there. As for stanford hall, haven't missed one yet for as long as i can remember, as you know, I'm an air cooled dubber through and through. This year, i didn't get to see or speak to hardly anyone as i was with my 4 year old and she got bored and wanted to go almost as soon as we got there so got the it's i needed for the beetle and was off quite soon instead of getting the chance to look around at the cars and talk to people. How is your Corrado? ---------- Post added at 9:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:32 PM ---------- How are you bazza? Was just thinkIng of you the other day, was going through some old pictures of one offs stuff and your wirey design was in there. 10+ years counts as a lifer imy books!

Yep, my baby has got a new owner and moves on! pretty much 9 years to the day that i owned the VR6, and had a valver for a year or two before that. Feels weird not owning a Corrado after some 10-11 yeras of having one as a daily. Anyway, this forum has been instrumental in every mod / repair / tweak or whatever it was, and I owe a huge thank you to everyone that has helped and contributed with helping over those 9 years, so thanks. Thankfully, the car has only gone a few miles down the road, and i will get to see (and hear) it all the time.

I have been wondering a simiar thing to the OP for a while now. Are Corrados worth more broken in parts, than a complete car?

Gareth, really wanted to come by and say hello today at tatton but had my three year old with me and she always wanted to go in a different direction to me (i wanted to look at volkswagens and she wanted to go on rides!!!) and in the end I ended up having to head off earlier than planned cos she was shattered. Next show hopefully will hook up. Car is looking mint as ever in the pictures and continues to be a credit to you.

Long time no speak mate... just caught up on here... damn! I cant imagine how it would feel if my VR6 was sold! I know you loved yours the same way. So you are just Zippy now!

AFAIK No you dont have to purchase in advance, you can pay on the gate, but you ought to have a "club pass" which is usually sent to you in advance by your club.

Looking good Paulo. Are you generally home in the evenings?

from experience, i'd check the plugs. I had a smiliar problem. Morinically, i changed the coil pack and leads (due to poor advice given by Lion Garage in Hinckley - don't use them people). Turned out to be a simple case of knackered plugs. So a 25/30 quid job cost me nearly 200 quid. So, check your plugs, it's the best place to start.

Thanks. Very nice of you to say so. I like the 16" Borbet C's on a VR6, i think they are one of the nicest wheels for a Corrado (barring BBS Split rims etc) Here is how is once looked! lol Better with a little bit of droppage tho, i'm sure you'll agree: I wish it still looked as good as that. Poor thing has lead a harsh outdoor life and is suffering a little bit around the edges now!

Yep, Far Left is my vr6 on 16" borbet C's. Next one pass. Next one was Judith's Storm (guessing) Next one pass. Last one Jay's car with the awesome Audi tt interior and wildass wheels.
