Yesterday I took the Corrado to Stanford Hall VW show. It was also the 25th anniversary of the Corrado so the CCGB (Corrado Club of GB) had booked a larger than normal stand and people had travelled from all parts of the UK from the South coast, to Scotland and Wales in miniature convoys. We managed to get around 53 cars turn up in the end, which is quite an achievement when there are so few left in the UK now (that's around 2% or 3% of the UK populaton).
It's the first time I've been to Stanford and it was a very relaxed day and unlike car shows I've been to in the past. With most of the cars being either Beetles or Campers it was much more family oriented than a typical show.

I've hardly used the Corrado through winter and it was lovely to get it out on a sunny day on a long run. A mutual thumbs up from a mk2 GTI while near home on the M25 topped the day off and reminded me why I love owning an older car.
I've had some serious thoughts about selling the Corrado recently and getting back into a mk1 TT but honestly I would sorely miss this car if I did.
