vr6storm 0 Posted January 27, 2004 yeah nice one jim..........and i'm sure you couldn't have found a better example of a G60 :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted January 28, 2004 One of the things that pushed me into buying the car was simply how complete it was. I mean everyone thinks at some point about how they could modify the car in some way to make it slightly better, and as many of you know i've never been a fan of changing the Corrado bodywork, only stuff like the alloys are the kinds of things that would be changed by me. But this car has had pretty much everything done to it that I could imagine, including a great looking stereo system (which isn't too OTT), leathers, all the engine mods you could ever want, a Magnex zorst... so I am pretty sure there are no more mods which i'll ever want to have done on this car, so just keeping it running in as good a condition as it is right now is my only goal! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormseeker 0 Posted January 28, 2004 Nice one Jim - welcome to the "forced induction" club.. :lol: :lol: Sorry to see you gone over to the dark side :D :wink: Seriuosly, congrats Jim, hope you'll both be very happy together.... sounds like an awesome Corrado... Does this car win the "owned by most Forum Members" prize then, 3 so far... ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted January 28, 2004 Well as you know I had been more on the look out for a VR6, but I did say all along that if the right example of any version came along, i'd be interested. This car just seemed too nice to pass up, so... plus it is putting out equivilant power to the VR6, so should I ever need the power its going to be there. As for an award.. yes, this has to be the first car to be owned by 3 seperate forum members!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

too hot 0 Posted January 29, 2004 Well as you know I had been more on the look out for a VR6, but I did say all along that if the right example of any version came along, i'd be interested. This car just seemed too nice to pass up, so... plus it is putting out equivilant power to the VR6, so should I ever need the power its going to be there. The best bit is you will get the same power and save a fortune in petrol :!: :lol: The G60 is far more economical than the VR6,as I should know :lol: All the best with the new car,maybe I should get one now :!: :!: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempest 0 Posted January 30, 2004 Same here, well done Jim, now we'll just have to have a quick Cov meetup when you've got yours, mate, gotta show those plebs here in Cov. what REAL cars look like 8) Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campaign 0 Posted January 30, 2004 You'll have to change your forum name :? But well done! You'll love the G60 if you loved the 16v. Used to bring ear splitting grins to my face :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted January 30, 2004 Yeah my forum name will be changing... Brookescourt - that car is a beauty, and is a total credit to the time and money you have put into it. I have reassured lee that it is going to good home, and that I will be looking after it!! :) Looking forward to parking up with everyone else at the AGM and not feeling like a plum! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 30, 2004 The G60 is far more economical than the VR6,as I should know :lol: So do I and no it isn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted January 30, 2004 Well not bothered about economy that much. I don't do that many miles.. though if the car is as anjoyable as I hope it might be, that may change :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 30, 2004 Same here, my C is a weekend toy as I commute to work on grotty trains :x So you didn't find an Ice Grey example then :wink: Glad to have you back in a Corrado....... I must admit, you're loyalty to the marque and out little community has been astounding, despite having a different car 8) Just goes to show what a bunch of good people we are, eh?

CazzaVR 0 Posted January 30, 2004 I know I'm late, but well done matey!!! :D Sounds like a superb mota- worth the long wait! Completely jealous.... :cry: Really really pleased for ya :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted January 31, 2004 Kev - Well there is still no other car that interests me as much as the Corrado - and one of the things that made me determined to come back (apart from the car itself) is the community behind it.. it had to be another Corrado really. And its a shame it isn't Ice Grey (I think my favourite colour now), but the pearl green looks terrific :) Andy - I'm obviously chuffed to bits. So now its your turn.. I hope you are gonna come up to some shows / CCGB events and so on, even though you are no longer a Corrado owner!! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted January 31, 2004 Jim, I'll try to make it to CCGB day in the summer, although I will probably have to save face by parking away from you Corrado boys :wink: . Can't wait to see your new baby- you'll have to take me for a spin! :twisted: Gonna be a very busy year for me though- married in May, hopefully moving in the summer and starting a new job in September! Totally feel the same as you about the C- no other car interests me as much and as you say, the community is excellent! :) Honda Revolutions is pretty good too, but is a little too big and impersonal compared to the forum and Yahoo group. I'd like to get another G60 in a few years, just as a weekend car 8) We'll have to wait and see.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
