It went from about 2-3 corsas to 10-15 within a few months. That was how it went though. You'd do something new, everyone would copy. Its because there was naff all about.
Don't get that these days as everything has been done now, and its nothing amazing unless someone goes totally off the chain mental with doing their cars.
Corsa B's wont be like this much anymore, COrsa B's will be like novas, some right sheds, but also some wicked super clean examples.
Still waiting for someone to make a fully fledged hardcore (but road legal and is used) 2.0 16v Track Corsa B. Done with Novas plenty of times.

Remember the stir this caused????
JR - Yeah, but i want to see one actually built. Yours has been off the road longer than mine has I think you will get bored eventually and not finish it. Few years, u'll be looking at moving out etc, u won't be assed anymore, just like me
What i actually find scarey is the history. What I think happend in 2004+ (which is still 4 years ago) didnt, it happened in 2002-2003, and theres 2 odd early years where digital cameras weren't really about so no-one really had any pictures. Anyone remember that massive thing i used to bring to Hemel etc? Took floppy discs in the camera, and could still get only about 35 pictures on a floppy disk.
Try getting just 1 image these days on a floppy disk (or even worse, someone asking the question of what a floppy disk is!!!! ).

I should have bought this car too Done pretty much the same to mine about 2-3 years later anyway, just I had a better colour Et49 alloys (VERY rare at the time, esp in 17"s), big brakes, rear disks, 2.0, stiney/irmscher goodies, black interior etc... It was up for sale, and I couldn't get away from it

Did you ever find out if it went to scrappy heaven?
Don't think most people know you turned it into a 1.4 8v turbo, thrashed it, then turned it back to a 1.4 8v again either
You like me, still mincing about with no car (I cannot classify your recent cars as actually being real cars ). Buy a bike amte, cheaper, faster, more fun
