I have been painting my C. Thought you might like to see how I got on.

I know others have done it a while ago but I've only got round to it in the last week or so.

thats nice..need to do mine one day... :lol:

[KIPVW 0]

Cheers for that, thought I'd better get it sorted before the show season :)

 

Funny though how much the camera picks up which the naked eye doesn't. It really does look better in real life :lol:

[KIPVW 0]

Well i have lots of pics from doing various things to my Corrado but i haven't posted anything up about it so here's a few for you to take a peek at, hope you like them. :grin: they were all taken on a phone too so the quality is a little poor if you try and blow them up but some more recent ones are on a much better camera.

Will have to sort that Vaughan, what morph style like in take hart Lol! or could get jude to bake some cake ones :luvlove:

Well guys and girls, it has taken me over 2 years to find the Nugget 16v i always wanted and after viewing 5, all of which were awfull i decided on a change of plan. Here is that new plan.

 

Welcome to our house, Corrado Number 4, Satin Silver 8 valve with 91,800 on the clock, 3 previous owners, VAG History till 77,000.

 

Am pleased as can be! I'm sure there will be a few problems to sort but everything seems OK for now, even the sunroof works :clap:

 

Pics to drool over! :grin:

Nice one, I reckon the 8V are much better to drive than people think - I love silver Corrados. Is it a daily driver or will it be hitting the Concours circuit?

:norty: Not a chance andy! Its taken half my will to live, ALL my money and two relationships and a thousand sleepless nights to get K1 PVW to look like it does but then I have to say twas on the concours field that Mine & Judiths Eyes did meet. Lol!

 

Its purely a daily driver. .............................................................................................................................................For Now!

Great to see you finally got one. Shame you couldn't find a nugget, but nevermind eh??

[chazrad 0]

Good work Kip.

 

As long as there are people like you and Jude who want to buy up all the Corrados for sale out there, it'll help all our residuals!! :D

Defo a good move to get another 'Rado. Everyone needs to have a daily driver when they've got concours cars like yours to look after. There's no way I'd drive mine everyday now (although I did once upon a time), but then again, you cycle to work, don't you? I'd love to know what your neighbours think of you two!! :lol: :lol:

[KIPVW 0]

Hi Charlie,

 

Yeah agree its nice to have a daily too but i guess its not within everyones reach so i do feel very lucky in that respect!

 

Yeah i do cycle in normally but with being so busy with the house and other car stuff i just couldn't be bothered, but then jude stuck a betty boop sticker on her blackberry so that totally put me off driving it! :lol:

 

So will be on the bike again soon as i need to shed a few pounds from all the cakes i've eaten this show season :grin:

 

But then i now have a daily too as the old toyota was sold a few weeks ago weeeeeeeeeeeee!

[scarlet_vr6 0]

nicely done Kip, that is awesome news! I do so like silver rados although sorry you didnt get a nugget - number 5 maybe :lol: Looking foward to seeing this one at some point.

 

That is such a great photo - I'd love to have a drive and garage full of rados (and the odd rocco and golf too). Reckon you 2 could start up a Corrado rescue home :notworthy:

[Whitedog 0]

4 corrados....some people are just greedy :lol:

 

Fair play to you, they all look great parked on the drive. The real question is.......have you got any room left on your drive for anymore???

[n3p 3]

Congratulations on the new purchase, looks like a good'un!

 

KIPVW - A deserved heir to the TCS throne? :lol:

[Jim 2]

Nice one Kip! 4 Corrado's? What must the neighbours think!! :)

[Walesy 0]

Lovely, I'd LOVE a silver 8v - just about perfect for me :) Especially with nice low mileage like this - enjoy :grin:

[VAG-hag 0]

but then jude stuck a betty boop sticker on her blackberry!

 

 

I saw you driving it just the other day driving up towards Chap, you love BB really KIP :lol:

 

Congrats on the latest edition to the family :clap:

[mic_VR 3]

Congrats on the new purchase mate, you guys sure love the Corrado! :luvlove:

[joby 0]

You got it in the end kip! nice one :)

[CrazyDave 0]

Superb, I don't feel so bad having two now!

 

I seem to remember chatting with Fay at the National Day about how we both liked silver Rados. It's a pretty rare colour and in 8v too. Perfect!

KIPVW - A deserved heir to the TCS throne? :lol:

 

Funny thing was when i phoned about it when i was at tatton park to look at on the way home from there he said it had been sold so i said let me know if it falls through!

 

So monday I had a text to say it did fall through and when i asked why he said the guy wanted me to deliver it to derby without a deposit, the trip would be around 100 mile. And i'm seripously thinking it was TCS who wanted it as i think they are based near there but i could be completely wrong.

 

I'll take that as a compliment then :clap:

 

4 corrados....some people are just greedy :lol:

Just room for another one :lol:

 

Nice one Kip! 4 Corrado's? What must the neighbours think!! :)

 

Yep the neighbours are all lovely to be honest! some of them came to our house warming and had a great time with them! I reckon they must think we are totally insane though! but in the nicest possible way. :lol:

 

Lovely, I'd LOVE a silver 8v - just about perfect for me :) Especially with nice low mileage like this - enjoy :grin:

 

Thanks walesy! i have to say i was thinking about you when i drove it home, but only for a second Lol! you wont believe the price either mate. :norty:

 

 

Congrats on the new purchase mate, you guys sure love the Corrado! :luvlove:

 

I think its just a crazy obsession, But imagine owning 4 to yourself like 2cc, now thats dedication :notworthy: :lol:

 

You got it in the end kip! nice one :)

 

Ta very much Richard, was close though and i thought we lost it for a while, just hope it doesn't collapse on the drive now LoL!

Cheers mate, if i'm totally honest though Dave i truly wanted an early Nugget but with so few available and havinfg seen half a dozen which were all quite nasty i thought towards an 8v and then within a couple of weeks this one popped up!

 

I have to say though i do normally dislike silver cars as i feel the people driving them are fruitcakes that cant choose a real colour its just the easiest thing to ask for when ordering a new car! Have some guts and go for it! dont order one thats done in the same colour as the chuffin primer :lol: if you know what i mean :roll:

 

But now i'll never hear the end of it from Jude as she know i always go on about how many silver cars are around and i end up with one Lol!

 

But i do like Corrado's in silver too as i feel not that many were around at the time of production so it looks a little different!

Congratulations Kip on yor new addition. I think Rados look great in silver, its a timeless colour and even better, it doesnt show the dirt. So get out there and enjoy it as a daily driver. :wave:

[KIPVW 0]

Cheers andrew! How's your new addition coming along? :grin:
