My VW Corrado came back from the garage shortly before Christmas. The exhaust and immobilizer are now working perfectly. All I have to do now is fix up the electric sunroof, perhaps replace the heating controls, and touch up some paintwork and it’ll be ready to sell.
It will be kinda sad to give it up though. It still looks and sounds great; but ’tis just a car, I won’t really miss it.
My Seat Leon Cupra company car replacement for it is actually faster. Even though the Corrado is a 2.9l and the Seat is 1.8l, the Corrado is 190bhp and the Seat is 270bhp! I’ve never driven anything so fast; it’s pretty stupid really. I’ll get a nice sensible slow diesel next time. Next time.
I met up with my old school friend Neil Moss last week. Shame he hasn’t fattened up as much as me over the years.
