Just need premises and a business model to fund it. We've sold enough pizza for a single car garage this month but I was thinking about something a bit more flash. Like with a reception and coffee machine or something.

Then if we have a little mezzanine office we can fill it with office birds to answer the phone and do pass resets.

Are you in

have you seen the mint one in classifieds

I bought my GSi from Nasher, I hope he hasn't retrofitted any alarms or cut the wire to the EML else you will need Lee Mitchell to do a rewire on it.

even if you had 20 low mileage mint corsa b gsi's, it wouldn't take long to walk round would it?

would be more interesting if it was a vauxhall museum, but even so, it's hardly beaulieu

A room full of Corsa GSis

I think perhaps I was unclear here, it's just like a private project.

Massive museum is probably a little outside of my capability.

Think of it more like CS HQ with some cars on display when you visit to have a meet in the car park or attend the AGM.

sounds silly in a way, but people love seeing a nice mk1 nova now in original condition, and they seem to be fetching good prices for a nova, used to be hundreds of pounds, quite often see them around the £2k mark now

It's like Mk2 Golfs Jim... They used to be pennies untill the ScEnE came along, now they're £2k minimum.

Debating on getting this as a third project!

Lack of space is stopping me at the moment!

i didnt fiddle with car at all, i bought it, drove it, head gasket went, then sold it to you! any shit or fiddling must have been done by previous owner, and i wasnt aware of it so pointing the finger in wrong direction
