vornwend 0 Posted April 28, 2014 Yes that Continental was rather special. Won't take much to get your VR looking great Jim and will look terrific with those new wheels! I noticed a bit of bubbling starting on the B pillar driver's side - had the same issue with mine a few years ago - easy to sort but don't leave it too long. I'll still go to a few shows a year I expect - national day, Volksfest etc and who knows I may be back in a Corrado one day when I need a post retirement daily. I've done less than 1,000 miles in 2 years so hard to justify keeping it I'm afraid. Having said all that it may not sell and I'll be forced to keep it :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed a bit of bubbling starting on the B pillar driver's side - had the same issue with mine a few years ago - easy to sort but don't leave it too long. Lots of little spots on it like that. I'll add it to the list as I hadn't noticed it myself :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swompy 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Shame to see you selling up Vaughan absolutely stunning car. Worth every penny too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vornwend 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks Jake, good luck with yours too! Mind you it may never sell - mine that is not yours! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swompy 0 Posted June 2, 2014 Haha you've probably got more chance selling yours than me selling mine! Pretty sure it won't hang around long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vornwend 0 Posted June 13, 2014 Well here we are at the end of this little era. Sold her tonight. Have loved owning and driving her - never once let me down, in 8 years, and was so much fun but it just seemed that I just couldn't find a way to use her enough so with more than a little reluctance I'm letting her go. The best parts were the good friends I've made along the way, the VR6 soundtrack, the overtaking, the fast corners, the convoys, the head turning and the thousands of times I've looked back over my shoulder and thought that is a beautiful car! Not rushing to replace her just yet but am sure there will be something appealing soon enough Thanks to everyone on here who has offered help and provided inspiration and advice over the years (made ownership so much easier and enjoyable) and I do hope I'll be able to keep in contact with many of you. Onwards............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier 1 Posted June 13, 2014 :( .sad news, ironic now that the Wales road trip you wanted to do is now being organised by Chazrad! Did it sell to anyone on here ? Good luck with whatever you get next Daren Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck with whatever you get next Daren Cheers Darren. New owner is chuffed to bits (as he should be!) but not a forum regular (yet!) Yes not great timing on the Wales trip but I still have her until Tuesday :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clumpy1 11 Posted June 13, 2014 Shame to see it go, it's one seriously cool car :) I know that doesn't help! Totally agree with Sean shame it may be going off the forum but it is your car to sell to whoever we would all like to sell it to someone on the forum but that unfortunately is not doable these day's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted June 14, 2014 Well done on the quick sale Vaughan. Real mixed emotions for sure... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swompy 0 Posted June 14, 2014 Didn't think it would hang around long. It's a shame but I know how you feel with the decision behind it. So do you want to buy a corrado? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robrado974 1 Posted June 14, 2014 I have have never met you , but have obviously seen the car on here . Very nice example . Shame she had to go . I've toyed with the idea several times as it's the only dub I've ever had . I have a yearning for a mk1 golf ATM . Each time I see the car I just can't part with it though . Must have been very hard for you to sell . Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vornwend 0 Posted June 14, 2014 How rude It my not have the BHP but it has the torque which is more useful ;) Depends how you use it! Have you thought of doing a detailed write up on yours so buyers can see exactly what was done and how much it cost? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
