me and a mate started off from plymouth at about 7.30 and made our way north to greg-turbo's to collect a white gsi xe from him.
after our 5 hour drive there, the car was a fucking shed and i was proper pissed off having driven all this way and hired out a trailer and was determined to cum home with a car whatever it was...
so we bought an autotrader but there was no bargains in there, so off to ebay on my phone and found a corsa gsi in Leeds, had a good chat to the bloke and then decided to go for it, however...
i type his postcode into my satnav as ws3 and it took me to wolverhampton, i then rang as i couldnt see the gsi and he said his postcode was wf3... fucking northeners, why cant u speak properly
so i thought fuck it, we were now 2 hours from leeds but about 4.5 from home and there is not a chance im coming home empty handed so we set off to leeds and picked up a corsa gsi then headed home.
finally got home at about 3.30 this morning and had a proper redbull come down
anyways few pics of the new gsi, will most prob tidy it and sell it or poss strip it but its way too good for that imo.
all jacking covers in the boot aswell
will update with some better pics this afternoon once i have done a few bits to it

guessing it would be the c16 if its a genuine gsi with original engine mate
