So had a G60 Rado in for brake lines, hoses discs and pads, top mount and an MOT.

I fell in love.  :drool:

So many people turning their heads and one person revving his van up to encourage me haha.  :grin:

Had an exhaust on it sounded nice. Who can get over that spoiler either?  :drool:

The G60 was pretty nippy, sure a few more horses would have come out with a decent service as the customer is as tight as.

What would you go for, a VR6 or a G60? In about 6months I may be in a position to get one.  :cool:

I loved my Corrado.......................................however there are other factors...............

Everyone will tell you how much they wanted a Scirocco back in the day  :angry:

It will cost you a fortune, regardless of model/type

Great sporty feel, great handling...................you'll bang your head numerous times trying to get in.

Insurance group 17 or 18......possibly more  :shocked:


I strongly advise getting a quote for all types before you commit yourself.

I will be getting one in the spring. Savings are already taking place.  :smiley: vr6 is most likely, I just can't justify 5k every few years for a charger rebuild. :sad:

I thought you had insurance issues? VR rado was double a VR mk3 when I was getting quotes. £2.5k minimum for me rado quotes were coming out at.

No, just put my head into gear,  payrise and another source of income means I could afford it. Could do it now but would prefer 6months to make sure it's still gonna worried out. Plus cheaper insurance at 19. :)

Yep and I was 22 getting quotes at 2.5k for a rado VR with 2 years ncb.

Check out quotes before committing.

Just had a look at how much insurance would be if I got a Rado, £795 for a G60 and £1033 for a VR6.
I'm only just 21, driving 3 years and 1 year NCB  :lipsrsealed:
Jesus, I'm so tempted it hurts!

Because it's in total and utter bits and waiting to swap the rear axles and then it's history.
