Just a thought to how the forums will be structured here.

So for right now it's just a general car forum. We can start splitting once we get some more conversations going.

I ended up with a Q7, which has had zero issues after 3 years and 140000km. Are Range Rover vehicles as unreliable as I have heard?

There are a bunch of us old Corrado guys that got run off VWVortex years ago and have a group on FB but no real home. Pretty much most have joined the 996/997 after I jumped in and said the water was not half bad.

I seem to think of what if I had gone those routes but my Cayenne GTS has been quite reliable so far, only 1.5 years into ownership but still. I enjoy it!SeanR wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 6:25 pm Put a Land Rover forum, I have two and may need more help than any of my Porsches could need.I cross shopped a Range Rover Sport when my Cayenne Diesel was cancelled.

Maybe subsections for Wolfsburg, Ingolstadt, Munich, as well as Stuttgart...

You guys are too cute, and a little sore from all the beatings.

Long time Mk2 owner, it is funny how we started out in many the same cars and migrated over to Porsche. The VR6 Corrado always has been my baby having had it now almost 16 years! Was out of action for close to 10 years after doing the paint and engine overhaul, which spiraled out of control to rewiring the car with standalone. At this point it needs some tuning, a catch can and alignment. Alas house renovation has put that off until winter.
I think I told this story before on RL but I used to be a big VW enthusiast and saw the Corrado as the pinnacle of VW ownership.
Test drove a VR6 model and LOVED it. But then held off and ended up getting my 944 S2 instead. Fair trade but still loved the sound of that engine and the handling. Even though less horsepower than my S2, it felt just as fast but of course I preferred the rear drive of the P car.
I've owned an 83 GTi, 84 cabrio with Jetta GLI engine, and a 92 cabrio with a 1.8 16 valve engine. Fun times!
