Title: Not a Golf but...........
Post by: Smooth Corrado on 04 October 2005, 20:57

Hi,

Im J and I live in West Yorkshire but originally from London  :cool: I moved up here 4 years ago. Im 25 and have always owned VW’s since passing my test at 17. I love Mk2's and the last one I had before the Corrado was a florescent yellow valver slammed on Borbet A's Ill have to dig out some pics  :cool:

This is my car is another Valver so the baby of Corrados  :smiley: but still makes me smile everytime I look out the window  :grin:

This is what It looked like when I bought the car

My alloys are being refurbed (repolished dish and black centres) so should be back next week.
The car is also booked in for a full respray in Black and should all be done in the next three weeks.
Ive probably missed loads out but hey  :grin:

Also, we're having a mini meet in Leeds, near the airport on 23rd October if you're interested, see here --> http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=27640.0 We're also having a night out in Leeds the night before if you fancy it, more details on request if you need them.  :smiley:

Yup, I reckon it would !  :grin: I used to work in Hudds a few years ago, sunny Lindley.  :smiley:

The meet is at Brewster Pub callead Yeadon Stoops in Yeadon (funnily enough), just keep an eye out in the Shows & Events section, but I think it's for about 12ish. The pub is on the road to the airport, so if you follow the signs from Leeds for the airport you wont go far wrong.  :smiley:
