Bye bye mk4, hello corrado VR6

yup, after 2.5 years of ownership the mk4 is going this afternoon.

the feul economy was crippling me, i just couldn't use the car. but, bizarrely, since i changed the wheels the mpg has gone up by 7mpg!! and i've changed jobs now so i don't need an economical car. still getting rid though.

i will miss the power, and the comfort/luxury, and the 4wd of course, but the corrado should be fun, and i may yet stick it all in a mk2 if i can find a special shell for it.

peloquin diff is on the top of the shopping list, i despise fwd understeer. the winter will tell me whether i can cope without 4wd or not. hmm, cheap 3 door syncro mk2 shell on ebay...

 

Get the shell!! Special is good and i'd rather see pics of that that a corrado VR6.

 

So you've got two Corrados now?

 

its gone then

buy a 3rd one too

 

well, it's gone, drove away this afternoon. I never even gave it any abuse on the way home from work yesterday, and never even drive it at all today!

picking the rado up in the morning, got my eye on a supercharged one as well so the one I'm getting tomorrow could be getting broken and put in a mk2.

 

I'm lost on what's in the fleet now!

Corrado 4x4, Lupo, another Corrado in the morning, plus possibly a G60 'rado off the 'bay

Golf Country's gone IIRC?

So plans for the first two Corrados, atm?

 

country is gone

g60? behave, I'm not that daft!

supercharged vr6 maybe

just can't make my mind up what to buy. cheap car and nice bike, or nice car and crap bike.

quite liking the idea of a ducati monster s4rs

autosport will be fun....shopping for suspension and engine management for the track corrado.

 

MV Augusta Brutale.
Do it.

 

i wish....

 

They dont cost THAT much.

What bike you thinking about Paul?

 

i hear those blown vr6s are great on mpg

 

i want this almost more than i want to live

 

read thread

i work in york now, 8 miles away, can get bus to work so mpg isn't an issue anymore.

 

excellent. v8 time then

 

nah, cheap daily car, trick bike, trick weekend car.

 

*Crosses legs*
Italiano bikes are soo right.

What are you doing with the 4x4 'rado then?

 

^^ as above

 

getting back on with it now i can actually get in the garage.

problem being now i want the ducati there's all my money from the mk4 tied up!

 

Right, that's torn it. We'll all be along to have the wheels of your bike then.

 

If you pick a bike over the 'rado.
I'll come to your house and take it off you on the request of the RSPCVW.
It needs some love and affection.
