Abdul 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Thats all really folks, I look at the classifieds everyday. I've been without one for about 2 months now which is a long time to me after driving corrado's for 3 years straight and its depressing tbh. Just thought i'd share, especially for those thinking of selling! Abdul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yacobwood 0 Posted July 19, 2011 I know the feeling :( I hate not being in one. Driving is no fun without a Corrado :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Portent 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Ah but then she will want a bigger house. Then kids and holidays.Call off the wedding and get another corrado. It will be cheaper in the long run and it won't steal all your possessions and your pension when she leaves :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walesy 0 Posted July 20, 2011 They're funny cars for sure, I've had various rados over the last 10 years or so, tried on numerous occasions to sell up and move on but each time there's a little niggle in the back of my head telling me to get another! My wife is worse than me in that she flat refuses to be without one now, she will NEVER sell her current 8v even though she could afford something a lot newer/faster etc etc. She regularly commutes from here in Cornwall up to Bristol and back in a day and she relishes the thought of the drive - to coin an old Vauxhall phrase, once driven forever smitten.

fla 9 Posted July 20, 2011 Where's my invite to the function Abdul?????, lol. Why not get MicVRs 24v conversion? If i had the cash i'd certainly be looking to get that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abdul 0 Posted July 20, 2011 Walesy, I don't think i'd actually let the mrs loose in a rado though lol. H, I don't think i'll be getting one just yet.... maybe lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
