The problem on here is people haven't mentally progressed in their car feelings since they were 18yrs.

Fun?

Is it really fun to be driving a chavs car around?

Not true. I like many cars.

The what car threads on here always end up disappointing. I mean all that and ends up with another corsa.

My car isn't wanked out btw.

It looks solid underneath - has lits of small dings and scratches - will need a cheapo re spray at some point...

Get the jobs i said and the underside sealed/any rot cut out is the first task

I still haven't ubderstood this after sleeping on it lol.

Surely a nova would of been a better car to get so at least it'll be a cool car and just as quick. License loser is one of the funniest things I've read on here for a while

Not meaning to bring up all the old threads from years ago but a 106gti would of been a better car all round really.

So many hatchbacks you could of bought if the Corsa was what you wanted for a car. Ek9, Xr2, crx, nova, 205 gti, r5 gtt, s3, gti/vts, that bloody mk2 golf posted on the other page. So many cars that are better than a corsa, whether they are cooler, faster, more fun or as most are, better in every way. To make it worse you already have a corsa

As for Nic's post, nothing wrong with buying a corsa but have you seen the first page?

These are just from the first page and what he wanted for a car....

On the road, good condition, rwd or 4x4, needs to fit me and mrs and child

£5k budget

Fun

Want something a bit cool

Want something a bit different

Something a bit rare and different

I want something cool and a bit special

Something you would use as say a weekend car

And the best one ...

Merc cosworth? Cav turbo? Mazda rx7? Skyline? Ect

Im going to say 200bhp minimum and just a bit - fuck yea

A Redtop Corsa B, just what you wanted on page 1, perfect car for taking the Mrs and kids out when you want something with a little poke

Like I said a few pages back, now you have two projects....like it or not a 20 year old XE corsa is an ongoing project.

Next weeks thread - find me a nice family car that's quick for me and the family

I still want a 2.0 Corsa tbh, or a 1.7 KA - might treat myself to either once the camper has gone!

Aslong as your happy that's all that matters, your mad to think corsasport would approve of a corsa !
