Oh yes... Toledo V5's are in budget for a hacker. but then it needs to be saleable - and the reason they're so cheap is because nobody wants them

someone say Rado???

 

[CraigW]

Ive been thinking of trying to get my hands on a pretty cheap corrado that I can have as a project.

Yeah i have a secret fetish about them....... been looking for a VR with aircon in decent nick for over a year now! Its the active spoiler and the general stunning looks.


Which is why it would suit m0rk doing bugger all mileage, as long as he doesn't wreck it like everything else he lays hands too

 

[Brummy]

lol.... glad Im not the only one that has a hankering for a Rado.. really must get one as a project at some point

 

[OllieL]

Ha think everyone is. I know I am too.
VR6 is what i'd want

Rado's are cooler than pengiun piddle!

V8 Lexus Soarer is it m0rk? Nice motors but expensive if they go wrong.

I think it would need a little extra. Anyone for a bit of forced induction action?

 

[Brummy]

I did think of keeping this for a fleeting moment...

but only for a fleeting moment....

but cheap enough in the first place to be disposable...

VR6's are just on the outside cost of disposable, but anything ~£1k I am happy to run for a few months & gain no return on really

Audi Coupe 2.6/2.8

or Audi S2 estate if your feeling slightly flusher:

Initially went looking for this, but its £8k on AT. They're a nice enough car, but not that nice.

I used to have a g60 corrado. it was an amazing car. 212 bhp and 300 lb/ft of torque! all done by 5.5k revs! 0-60 in 8 seconds (only did 55 in second gear) but 60-120 took only 4 seconds! and it revved out at 155 mph! one of the best handleing cars i've ever had and with the body being made by karmann and not VW it didn't rust much. i miss it very dearly!

Well I'm still beating about in the rental Mondeo ST while the 'third party' pays, and messes about not even getting me my valuation.

pretty funny when I called them today, and got the hire car bill & told em that it's cost them about 75% of what the cars worth in hire car fees alone so far....

No matter, maybe they'll cut me a cheque soon & I can sell the Ibiza (which isn't on the register & won't be)

And we wonder why our insurance costs so much, its all a mess about. Handed a hire car back after having a bump a few years back and there was still thousands worth of credit on the hire.

Hows the ST? Look great motors.

comfy cruiser... has some overboost thing, but to be honest it's not a bad car (funny seating position!)

I can justify 'having' it due to not wanting to have the boot broken into (you could pull it open if you were he-man) and get damp from the split in the floor.

I'm not claiming any PI, mainly because I've had two proper shunts & my necks not that bad... so I see that running about in an ST for three weeks is their way of "making it up to me" for having a dopy driver run into me

Ken overheard my convo with them on Saturday on the way through belgium, I was quite concise with them when they told me the guy that bumped me didn't think there was any damage...

 

[jenk]

All they need to do is see your car, I cant belive people try and get out of it. They should get a mark on there record for being a mess about that hikes up there insurance........thats a good idea! Took me a whole year to settle a claim, silly fool got points and a fine in the end which pushed the insurace through........if it wasnt for that it would have took longer still.

Ford make a nice car nowadays, well put together and handle sweet. Has the tdci got the recaros?

Was he wearing the same acme X-ray specs when he was looking where he was going through the footwell?
