MattVR6 10 Posted November 18, 2015 Hi all, Firstly I would like to say how helpful this forum has been, even in the 3 days I have owned my car. After 2 months of deciding what car to purchase next, I finally settled on a corrado. What a great car!! My previous vehicles have been a 1975 MGB GT, 1975 Reliant Scimitar and a 1987 MR2 MK1, so I am well acquainted with older cars. MY CAR: 1992 VR6 2.9 170k miles Green (not sure of the specific colour, dragon green?) Manual Bodywork is mint. Was resprayed a few years ago, all documented with pics. FSH The spoiler works! The sunroof works! Bolsters aren't worn! It drives and sounds great so i'm more than chuffed, I just have lots of small jobs to do. I am very keen to make my cars as good as they can be. In a year my engine bay will be gleaming!! Look forward to meeting some great people on this forum. Already a proud Corrado owner :smug: Cheers, Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too had an MGB GT (1972) previously but it would have turned to red dust if I'd used it as a daily like my Corrado. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattVR6 10 Posted November 18, 2015 Well I used my MGB as a daily driver for 10 months!! Then had it as a weekend car for the next 2 years. My Corrado is, and will be a daily driver also. Some pics as requested (if they work), I will make a more detailed (picture heavy) thread in the gallery sub-forum. Yes it needs a clean and the paint is really smeary and white marks all over due to a half arsed polishing job I expect!: http://s1349.photobucket.com/user/Jawa411/media/Corrado/IMAG0569_zpsbk6spnso.jpg.html?sort=3&o=8 http://s1349.photobucket.com/user/Jawa411/media/Corrado/IMAG0570_zpsl2gis4zq.jpg.html?sort=3&o=7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattVR6 10 Posted November 18, 2015 As expected, inserting the pic hasn't worked. There are 2 links there that will lead to the album. Browse at your leisure :smug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
