yellow rado's (even tho' its not a G60 )are well cool.

sorry to hear you had to let the turbo go, but still....a corrado  :smiley:

cant wait for the pics.

if your gonna substitute a golf with anything, you aint doing bad if its with a rado.

No more turbo golf?  :cry:

I know how it is though with costs and stuff. Used to travel 25 miles to work and back everyday in a heavily modified 1.3 golf (  :embarassed: ) and it cost me £10 a day!

Corrado's are cool but not as cool as a turbo'd mk 2 golf  :cool: Sounds good though buddy :afro:

yeah according to the mfa the golf used to average about 23-25mpg, on the test drive of the corrado (admitedly with the bloke sat next to me so i couldnt thrash it) the corrado was showing an average of 35mpg!!!! :shocked:

Yeah i have wanted one for years (since well before i bought the mk2 turbo!).

Picked it up last night and gave it a polish, i am well chuffed with it, cant believe how mint it is! The last owner had it 12years and it was garaged for most of that and even had a few years in spain! The golf was not too bad but the raddo is immaculate, the only fault on the bodywork is the mirrors are slightly faded!

It has FSH and hundreds of reciepts going all the way back to 1991!

A few of my mates have looked at it and cant believe how cheap i got it and even suggest i clean it up a bit more then just show it as standard, hmm not sure i will be able to resist a few mods tho!  :grin:

Obvoiusly its nowhere near as quick as the golf but its not as slow as i had feared and goes well once you get it rolling!

Will get some pics up as soon as i get the digi camera back!!  :cool:

You wont be able to miss me at Ed38 now!!  :laugh:
