My Corrado is gracing the pages of VW Golf + magazine's November issue :thumbup: They basically say that I'm crap, but I think they liked the Corrado :hehe:

It is part of a feature on the performance of normally aspirated VR6s, including Mk2 & 3 Golfs, two Mk1 Caddies and a Bora.

Yep, I borrowed the Mag of a friend and thought I recognised name from other threads, vmax etc.
An Interesting article as I've got a un-modded Mk 3 Golf VR6.
(apart from Koni shocks ,a must, even with standard power!)

Mine's no way a 'traffic light' racer, but excellent on Motorways en-route to Le Mans !

Indeed, the VR engine takes to 'two-miles-a-minute ' cruising like a duck to water!

Very nice Miss P, I'm a subscriber.

Are you going to the VR6 rolling-road day at Stealth Racing in December?

If so, see you there.

Vince at Stealth is a top bloke. It was he who did all the original mods to my Corrado back in 2000.

My Corrado should be in the December issue I've done a feature on my Eurohoon trip and the Corrado's performance alongside the other automobilia on the trip.

Just checked. I think it may be in the January issue now.

Thanks Krusty!

O/T How are you and Rose and your new baby doing?

I actually worked for several bike mags and car mags in the early nineties
