g60Dazzaman 0 Posted January 6, 2005 This is my little sweetie! Shes Yellow, Shes Lowered and thanks to a fantastic respray looks the absolute nuts!!!! I've had 19 Golfs so vw's is nothing new however this is my first rado, i it in August and being a G60 hasn't exactly been realiable..... In fact a money pit is a better way to describe it! This is my own fault for buying one without that much needed service history But its true what everyone says.. Ever stood there looking at it wondering if its worth it, then givin it the full moo on an A road or Motorway everyone else looking at it??!!! You know its worth every penny! The G60 was my choice because of the accelaration in the wet (we do live in britain!), and of coarse the amazing handling. This is the most spectacular car i've ever owned and really want the 'GO' to go with the show! watch this space as 'Cory the Corrado' becomes another much needed Volkswagen super coupe scooby muncher!!!! :twisted: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M777CUSGTI 0 Posted January 6, 2005 looking very clean mate, nice 1... 19 Golfs :shock: Thats pretty impressive mate :wink: In that number have you evr owned/ driven a mk2 16V? If so how do the 2 compare, performance wise? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60Dazzaman 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Cheers! Never had a 16v mk2 all 8v's insurance is always a nightmare! i did have a go in my mates G60 sync, another reason for buying the Rado i've had: 5x Mk1 Gtis (1 x 1.6 3 x 1.8's and still have a cab 1.8gti now in silver!) 2x Mk2 Gtis both 8v's early small bumber on a C and a Gorgeous black J plate big bumper with the bbs wheels etc etc 3 x Mk3's (1xcabriolet 1xVR6 1xTDI) it was the TDi that i loved the most check out my gallery! i spent a fortune on this one! 3 x Mk4's (1 x 90Tdi(not the same as the mk3 it has to be said) 1x 130Tdi (serious turbo lag!) 1 x 2.0GTi which was rubbish, the diesel was quicker! 1 x Mk5 2.0Fsi (i have a lot of time for the MK5 i really do hope the new GTi is everything that everyone is saying about it) And lots of 1 & 2's that were early rubbish diesels, 1.5GX's, Cl's and a Mk2 Driver which i had for years! My first car was a golf, what can i say i was bitten from the word go! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GIXXERUK 0 Posted January 6, 2005 took the pics with your phone ? looks excellent tho mate , sits really well what suspension are you running ? or is it just lowering springs ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60Dazzaman 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Okay okay i took the pictures with my phone!!!!!! It does sit really well, i remember when i first saw it, i drove down a road in south london and it appeared on my right hand side and totally took my breath away, i expected it to have its arse in the air! I dont know whats been done to the suspension, hopefully someone will tell me at the MK meet at the end of the month, they way it drives tho (very hard!) suggests lowering springs. "theres no replacement for displacement!?! - just to get you back - sounds like something Vicki Butler Henderson said once!!!! Cheers for your reply GIXXERUK :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 6, 2005 Looking great Mr Dazzaman... although there is one thing missing that I think would finish it off a treat - Audioscape pods and focal speakers :D I've had shed loads of Golfs too, but not even my old MK2 16V Turbo can compete with the C VR6 for all round ability and appeal 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60Dazzaman 0 Posted January 6, 2005 I built an awesome sounding Mk3 golf Tdi, the Stereo was incredible, it was running kenwood cassette player top of the range of coarse with dab tuner and mp3 changer, 6x6.25 infinity kappa perfect components, and 2 x 10" infinity perfect subs all powered by 3x alpines finest v12's! 3x 5"widescreen monitors ps2 and dvd player all running through the head unit. It was stolen, the stereo nicked and burnt out, i cried for weeks, It was like i'd split up with a girlfriend i'd been going out with for years! My Corrado needs to be better! i need pods like a fat kid needs chocolate! oh and a better alarm system than a toad AI606! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morpheus20170 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Very nice. Having a G60 in the wet has it's problems though, a lot of power being front wheel drive, word of caution, be careful in the wet :0) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60Dazzaman 0 Posted January 7, 2005 i know what your saying morpheus! cruising in chelmsford one night, absolutely tipping down, saw the front end of my rado bein overtaken by the rear end on a round about! fitted new wheels with toyo proxes T1S straight after! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil K 0 Posted January 9, 2005 I've seen more yellow C's than I've seen met grey ones... Lovely colour and nice looking car mate 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banana Man 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Another thumbs up from a nugget yellow owner :D At least theres a few of us about still :) I think there are loads more nugget G60's left than that but there aren't that many left compared to other more common colours like aqua blue and so fourth. Nuggets still the best colour imo you certainly get noticed in it :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60Dazzaman 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Its Great! I've never had a car like it for attention! everyone looks at it! i've even walked out of sainsbury to find a crowd! Its a bit of a nightmare to keep clean though! I see more green and red corrados than anything else, i'm contemplating at the moment to get mine a 'big sister' in the form of a aubergine vr6 if i can find one!
