TBH why would a guy of your age, im guessing with about 300 years no claims, be looking at buying a corsa?

300 years no claims...

All I am thinking about is something small that I can play about with etc....

nothing to do with age or that....

and maybe it's the cs attraction

this place pulls me in..

but if he says he wants a 1999/2000 year Corsa then he obviously doesn't want an old car like a 205

i'd vote the 205 over a corsa.... but your going to be looking at an old car for a 205.

So.... why not a tuned 16v 1.6 106?

Speak to luckyB about his 16v rallies..... they are running a fair bit of power

I'm growing to like 106 GTis and rallyes (shocking I know

) but from driving GTis I know that there is not much room inside for me to be comfortable and the pedals are too close together aswell

i'm only 5ft 8 so that wouldn't be a probelm and I know from my old AXGT which had the peddles close together that i could get used to that...

Get a white S2 rallye then. Anthracite wheels, lower it, then tune... if that engine is worth tuning anyway? Not sure? Lost on french cars
