My red corsa was 400 mile roundtrip.

Thinking of doing a 1200 mile round trip to get my next car...

How many miles have people been to get their pride and joy?

My first corsa came from a car auction and was 35 miles away
My second was in Plymouth but had it delivered to me lol

My third was 1 mile away lol, as soon as i broke my second one for bits i managed to find my current one in a local garage.
