Where do i start, i gave up with my ford, and decided to buy a cheap little runner, and return to my roots...VAUXHALL

after building my first corsa and a few other little cars i realised ive not had so much fun in a car since my old L217 KEW


Pics of the corsa






My little track slag saxo i had for a little while








days where spent searching ebay auto trader piston heads etc, when i stumbled across this on autotrader...

the advert read...

£850ONO


Features: 34,000 miles Manual White Petrol Hatchback 1196 cc Full Description: Glossary of Terms

Interior is in excellent condition. Ideal first car. Have MOT certificates dating back to 1996 to prove geniune mileage. £850 ONO.

19/9/09 so a 73 mile drive and a deposit was left.....

I know someone with a VTR with VTS conversion who made it in to a track car and the back end was too light and he managed to roll it in a gravel pit
