Saw a nice Red Mk2 on the M6 (heading southbound) by St Helens. I was in my Black one heading north bound, about 2pm yesterday (saturday).

Seen 2 Mk3s, one silver, one white on M6 and Bristol Road B'ham as well.

Today I spotted a Red Gt2 I think running white Porsche rims, a grey Gt with big 5 spoke and a white scala with black alloys, also 5 million air cooled dubs.

Must have missed you, mate! Sorry!

3 spots within 24 hours here (all mk2s... YESSSS!) - yesterday evening my mate spotted a white GTII with Scala wheels parked on Upper Chorlton Road in Whalley Range, then I spotted a red Scala on Shaun Of The Dead parked outside Shaun's neighbour's! And then this morning I got flashed by a white G reg, again on Upper Chorlton Road as I was turning into my street - was it the same car my mate had seen? Was it someone on here?

I also frequently spot mk3s but I never bother posting as the drivers don't even know what a proper Scirocco is! Never even get a nod. Maybe because...

Thought that the Corrado was more of a Mk 3 'Rocco - had similar trim etc.
Sorry - I'm a bit jealous!!?
But then, I'm an old fart!!
:hugegrin: :chortle:
...I'm sure they'd all recognise a goof! I totally agree, Kin. But yeah, maybe it's jealousy :chortle:

Hello! Was it me parked on upper chorlton road? Mines a white GT2 on BBS wheels...

And if you drive the Red GT2 with black alloys it was me who flashed you on the J reg this morning!

Nice to see a few dotted about!

Good Morning Gents.

Certainly was me with the black alloys. Morning! (thought it was G reg - sorry)

Is the Shaun Of The Dead red Scala common knowledge, or am I the first to notice? It was actually my girlfriend that spotted it if I'm honest. :blush:

I'd not realised it was Shaun of the Dead! ha. I've been seeing you about quite a bit as I live in Chorlton, but I was always in my old car (306) and I'd just look like a prat going round flashing randon MK2's!

mk.3s appear to be getting more common. I've seen a blue and a silver base model, and a black GT recently.

Very sorry, not a Scirocco at all, but I thought this was worth the post.

Saw this monday morning on the M1/M6 (can't remember).
