Another year of the Corrado

[Wullie 1]

Put the car in for it's MOT today. After pacing up and own the house like a crabbit auld bugger finally got the phone call. Passed with one advisory, pitting on the rear discs. Wife really disappointed, she prays that it'll cost too much to repair (little does she know) and that I'll get a "sensible" car.

Pitted discs?! :lol:

 

Nice one though, MOT day is always a nail biting tense moment for us lot.

 

I'm fairly sure mine will fail on the brake lines this time round, but I'll try sanding the rust off and the hammerite trick first :lol:

What could be more sensible than your Corrado?

 

Four seats, big enough boot and passes the MOT first time :)

My wifes idea of a "sensible" car is her "thingy", a Daewoo Tacuma (or as she calls it a Tacuma Daewoo, cos if you stand at the back that's the way it reads??) that can carry about 300 screaming weans and all the trappings that go along with it. Loads of little cubby holes where things get forgotten and are only noticed when the smell gets too bad.

 

The Corrado is too small, uses too much of the expensive kind of petrol, the seats are too low and are difficult to get in and out of and anything else she thinks of at the time.

 

Part of the problem is perhaps that when I bought the C I wanted to keep the Scirrocco so traded in her car without actually asking her. Told her the heavy steering would keep her fit and the weight down. Didn't work

 

Women! Some of them just don't get it.
