Parptoot 0 Posted April 5, 2015 Hello all, I'm new here but not new to the Corrado. In my late 20s I owned a beautiful metallic blue (Mystic?) Corrado VR6. Within about 6 months I'd ploughed it into a tree so hard the tailgate snapped off and that on it's own wrote a car off on the opposite carriageway! That Corrado was of course written off and eventually became a competitor in the VW Cup. I then got to drive it again as each car was tested for power output at Superchips, where I worked at the time. I was happy that it was put to some use, if not the complete car but at least some of it. I felt that never got to fully enjoy the car so now, some 16 years later at 45, I'm contemplating getting back into one. This time though I'm planning on going for the Corrado Storm, just to get what I originally wanted but couldn't afford at the time. Work and age now afford me to indulge in all sorts and at present I have a Maserati 4200 CC and a 1972 MG Midget (keeper). Before the Maserati I've have a number of Audi S and RS cars but I've felt let down by their current crop of sports models. My next car will be number 44 for me, I'm a bit of a car tramp and on average I reckon they last about 8-10 months. This is getting longer as I lose the will to continually swap about, I just like cars so much. As odd as it may sound, I enjoy the buying selling process. "Trader!" I hear you shout. No, if I were I'd make money at it but alas that's never the case. I tend to buy, repair, restore, make perfect then once complete I get bored and want for a challenge again. We'll see how it goes with the Corrado, I'm getting tired and too old to keep this up. So, once the Maserati is sold - http://www.richardgracecars.co.uk/listing/maserati-4200-cambiocorsa-5/ I will be gazing upon the classifieds for a Blue (mystic again?) Corrado Storm. I still own the Maserati so it's on a sale or return basis at the car sales specialist. I can see there's one there already and it would be perfect for me but the timing is off by a few weeks, we'll see. Anyway, I'm in the right place. Thanks.

Parptoot 0 Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks chaps. The money situation isn't as bad as I thought so I'm on the hunt. Having said that I learnt something today... Blue storm = black leather Green storm = Cream leather Damn, that one in the classifieds is green, would have been perfect. I think I'll add a post in the wanted section for a blue storm a little later when I have the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
