Here are some pictures I have taken of corsa since buying it smile I am very happy with it and am enjoying every mile. Managed to rip the buffer off one of the brake pads on Sunday (that was intresting to say the least ) and then when I got it fixed on Monday and took it for a spin, it dumped oil all over my girlfriend's drive and the road leading upto her drive which is made of brick and looked lovely until I gave it a go faster striped hehe Ooops. I have done well over 600 miles in two weeks so I am using it a lot!!

Here are some pictures.


Oh yeah, the height of performance. 12V!!!!! WOW hehe


130 mph. YOU HAVING A LUAGH!?!


It has even got a bucket seat....for my phone


peeping inside. THat is wheel is off a old sailing ship....


Look how clean it is!!


THis took a lot of editing. There so much crap on the bonnet hehe


It even has wings



Car I have now, car I am to own


Mine and my friends car. God he loves speedbumps hehe


my favourite picture of it so far


So, yeah, I am loving every mile, keeping my nose clean and my stereo at a decent volume hehe

Thanks
Matt

Nope, wasnt me!! I spent all morning in the paddock so wasnt even in my car and then in the afternooon I took a handful of pictures of the Formula Ford at Lodge then went and had a few laps as a passenger in a caterham then went back to lodge to take some pictures of said caterham then I went home! Cant remember seeing another red corsa, though!!

I always drive sensibly at Oulton due to the fact that children are around etc.

It's looking smart Matt.

Hope to see you at Oulton at some point in the near future smile (not this weekend though frown)

And if your chum's car is the one I think it is, I once had to suspend a telephone conversation until he was long gone...

Also, tell him his tyres don't seem to fit his wheels.

So, are you doing interstellar mileage like you should be?

I know the feeling. I passed about a year and a half ago and managed to do the best part of 3000 miles in 6 weeks.

yes My mate had an M plate Corsa 1.4 GS200 as his first car and I drove it up to the Highlands and back with him having failed his driving test the week before rofl
Good to see the miles are racking up - the feeling of freedom is great!
I've done over 600 in my new car in 10 days and that's certainly not at the same MPG as you're getting so I'd have to go for an even bigger mortgage!!
