CS are not cheap.....Was thinkiong of going to see this one when it was 8k as it seemed cheap and from the pics on the web site looked OK.......But then did some digging and it had been talked about a on a number of threads on PH and 968 forum....Car was a cat C car which didn't bother me but look at the gap between the wheels and the arches at the rear (have a look on the web link), compare it to the blue Sport..Something not right...6995 is bloody cheap for a CS...But there must be a reason

Renault 11 Turbo mid nineties, great fun with that 5 GT Turbo engine and
no one knew what it was till you shot past them.

Corrado 1.8 16v after complete body resto.

Nice Lee...........white Corrado....VW was ahead of the game and white was on the option list......Was it that colour when new or was it sprayed later........I love the Corrado it was such an underated car....

Frank, those jeans stumped my growth

[Andyk]

Hahahahahahaha...Those days of being a rock star Frank...the tighter the better...

I bought my wife a tumble dryer at (for) Christmas - now all my pants are that tight! I'm sure they will come back in fashion one day. Until then I'll be a trend setter and wear tight pants like Andy did back in the day....;-)

 

[GransportFan1]

you bought your wife a tumble dryer??? what did she say to that?? i bought my mum a new ironing board for her birthday, she was not amused

 

[sibradbury]

I also bought her some diamond earings Adam - so she did quite well this year! Great idea - I'll start saving up to buy her an iron for her birthday....

White Corrado was that colour from the factory, I just freshened it up, I loved the colour and yes well ahead of the game, still a looker...

Always fancied a VR6 Corrado.
Will there be a relaunch of the Corrado considering the recent Sirocco, I wonder?
Considering the the huge jump in styling from the Sirocco to the Corrado I bet a modern day version would be awesome.

Oh the earings made up for it then, i said to my mum the reason why i bought the iron is because you will get a lot of pleasure and use from it and also the one i bought, argos had slashed it by 40%

Would love to see one Dan, but wouldn't hold your breath. The Corrado was inloved every where except the UK.........I had the G60 lhd and it was great..No VR6 though....
