Same here, took mine in today to get the rear panel sorted out.
Although evil Tuesday resulted in somebody taking my car keys home from work, nearly running out of petrol to drop it off and also the road being closed, had to take a massive diversion... and until friday I have the use of a rather stunning Pug 205 in about 15 shades of red...
Beats the bus I guess... but then again......

My last car was a Corrado, and it's the only car I'd sell my current metallic black 318iS to own. Both 1800 16v cars have the same power but the iS is quite abit quicker - lighter and more responsive than the C. Still, Corrados are fantastic looking cars.

no way mate, my mate has a rado VR and the car is so heavy and i leave it for toast in the m3. The sound of the 6pot is great though!
