[purple highline monster 0]

cheers chaps, yeah it was good to see you all again, warren good to see you to and...... i want your seats!! (whole car) there are some seriously nice cars in the VR6OC, proud to say i am a member

[purple highline monster 0]

But.........Unfortunately the Monster is now in the hands of a new owner,(caddymatt) the BBS rims are in Portsmouth on a VR6 Corrado storm, the BBS steering wheels in my loft and i am now officially a traitor to the 6 pot

This is my new ride, something i always wanted, and as i was hankering after a G60 for the last year, this came up with 64k and full history with 2 owners and rebuilt charger, it was a chance not to be missed, meet "Inky" my Aqua Blue G60 Corrado, and his new number plate and 9j Borbet rims all round car is currently having a little visit to the bodyshop to spruce him up a bit soon as its back its gonna get bombarded with gucci parts, have not decided on suspension yet as im waiting to see what it looks like sat on the Borbets with 215 40 16 continental sport contact 2 tyres first

G60 All The Way

As i've said before Nick you are always welcome and if you can mate still come to the national meet at billing aquadrome

[purple highline monster 0]

Cheers craig, I will defo be up for Billing again its a great get together away from the competition of the "scene", maybe this year something other than purple will win is there a catorgory for non VR6`s see if we can get Tony nicked by the rozzers on the way up again

After driving the G60 and getting used to one again! i must say its still a pretty quick car, not quite the same punch in some areas as the VR but still on a par speed wise, I suppose the Corrado has slightly better aero dynamics in its favour! a VR6 one has gotta be a flying machine!

Hopefully by August mine will be a fire breathing monster like my old Rallye was one of mr schricks cams and a chip and a few other charger mods should assist in that

[VR6Pete 1,455]

yes PHM, be there! you aint seen my nu VR yet

[purple highline monster 0]

I will pete, I will be at Ultimate dUBS on Sunday too though, in my mk1

Did you manage to get your corrado fans? I saw you posted on Corrado forum, im on there as AQUA G60

Be good to catch up with everyone, seems like an age since last season! lets hope the weather hold out!

Nick i got to say mate you are probably the member i envy the most on here!!

Rallye

Tidy VR6 (shame about the common colour )

Gorgeous cabby

and now a rado that already has awesome rims and will soon be getting the PHM treatment!

Look forward to seeing "Inky" at billing!

cheers, Oli.......I suppose i just choose my cars very carefully or im just very lucky finding them none of them cost mega bucks and i leave them pretty standard with a few well chosen bits for em the one i sell on always pays for the next and im never usually out of pocket! (much!)

I will probably make to some of the other shows this year before Billing, cant make spring fest though as its on my daughters birthday! dont think even i can justify missing that for a dub show? or maybe she wants to go to the pod

[l1_lbk 0]

looks very tidy, it must take ages to clean those wheels (Golf)

[purple highline monster 0]

oh yeah, its just back from the bodyshop, and new rims, just needs dropping down now the 215 tyres are just about wide enough i think

[franchise 1]

That's gonna look super bad with a bit of slammage chief. i do like rados on borbs.

Hi Nick.

Rado is looking awesome. G60 All The Way.

I am washing and polishing Violet so often and it still looks lovely. Just trying to find wheels for her at the moment,

Sure I will be seeing you at one of the shows soon enough.

[patpong_pete 0]

nick did they make a 4x4 corrado

get them coilovers on her or stick some fat birds in the car then it will be on the floor!

Glad your looking after it for me matt tis a great car & glad your enjoying owning it, i do miss that lovely sound, but the charger soundtrack makes up for it a bit bound to see ya at some shows this year with it as for rims?? personally i would go for something classic looking, "race" type rims dont seem to suit the 5 doors so well

dunno what suspension im having on the corrado yet *-) its probably gonna be a set of Koni coilovers to be fair, Venom are doing them at a silly price at the moment of £550 inc vat i was debating wether to just do springs and do it cheaply but i know i wont be happy if i do hand in pocket time again

[Ben Seabrook 4]

Alright Nick - the new car looks really lovely mate cannot belive you got rid of those amazing wheels though - bit fed up with cleaning them all the time ?? Look forward to having a gander over the new beast at Billing

[purple highline monster 0]

Alright Ben, well i would have kept the rims, but they would have only fitted the G60 using adaptors, and i didnt want to do that, and not only that they paid fo a LOT of goodied for the G60

[purple highline monster 0]

few updated pics of my Rado got some Bahn Brenner bits for the engine, RSR charger outlet and metal charge cooler pipework with silicon hoses to prevent any boost loss from the stage 4 charger still not lowered it yet but after my hols i will be getting a KW V1 kit for it

I still miss the VR sound a bit, but this is still an awesome sounding car

[Ben Seabrook 4]

Looking really nice mate - as you said needs lowering to complete the mean stance but a really lovely car and that is coming from someone who doesn't normally like raddo's !!

[nivag27 5]

Very nice Nick really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh, have you got plans for ant shows this year?

[purple highline monster 0]

Cheers chaps, VR Corrados are ace Ben im hopeing to get to a few shows Gav, im coming to the VR6OC meet at Billing and defo E38, and hopefully a few in between if work allows,

only trouble is most of July & August all leave requests are being refused as the "tree huggers" are due to mass protest at the proposed new coal fired power station near me, so i will be stood in the burning heat in full riot gear having hairy soap dodger men in dayglo pyjamas and women of questionable status :-| swearing at me from dawn till dusk!

[pimpcat 0]

sounds like fun nick jst make sure u spray em with cs nd give em a gd smack with ur bat nd its all worth it where the fudge do they think we will get a sustainable source of energy (that is realistic which counts out wind and wave power oh nd solar power)

[Ben Seabrook 4]

ok mate will give them another chance glad to hear you are coming to billing i look forward to hearing about the women of questionable status !!

[purple highline monster 0]

Yeah pat, i am possitive the "revolutionary" types among them will be out to cause bother, an oportunity to get some "lawrence of arabia" notches carved on my baton

i will try and find out as much as i can about those "women" Ben, and find out if that armpit hair goes all the way down to their bollox
