i think the whole modified car scene has changed, all over the show, not just corsasport and corsas.

My neighbour has a 2CV if that helps.

If it ended up being only Corsa chat allowed and no negative comments then it would end up like PNG, good site for Nova's but nothing else, this is easily the best forum I use as its diverse.
The only reason Corsa's get a slating is because previous owners have moved on and taken off the rose tinted glasses and like to share the experience

It's an enthusiasts car, the corsa b and c, I have owned four GSi's to date and the majority of information regarding the corsa was gleaned from this site, this site (CORSAsport not CARsport) is what inspired me to start the Australian version, Holdenbarina dot com, members corsa's such as that little sexy blue beast that Stavs had, the brocade one that Monster was nearly killed in, there are so many, I have disc's with shitloads of pics on them from members on this forum. I own other cars as well but, enjoy messing about with them, they can be a pain in the arse, they can also be a joy as well. I think the site works well it just may need, as Ian said, get back to grass roots and encourage new members that have just purchased one or thinking about purchasing one and share all the knowledge you have gained from owning one, the good and the bad rather than slating and flaming ect

A driveway built car yet most of your progress pics seem to have been taken in a garage or areas surrounding the garage??
Who actually built your car??Did you pay for the majority of it and do some bits and bobs yourself??Did you weld the cage in etc??

if you actually had a clue you would know my post has nothing to do with anything ironic. its you who created this thread (not me) and is you who constantly posted 'should have bought a bus pass'.
i posted it a few times in your threads because every other mod related thread that never got your approval had your bus pass comment somewhere in it.
i dont hold any grudges, but when you see a member post silly comments about bus passes and scene puppets then you come across a thread created by the same person about how people are slagged for modding their cars as per the 90's then what do you expect.

It's more a variation of opinions, not all out hatred. That's how I see it anyway.

True. I've seen some of that where people either get offended too easily, or where somebody gives out an opinion which is a bit strong.

Being honest is the best way people do get offended on the internet too easily though, aslong as they like the car that's all that matters. People can say what they like about my tin can I couldnt care less, especially on a forum full of strangers.

tbh Nic I rarely see you post much positive stuff about other corsa's for example in the thread about the 'scene' corsa D you just made a joke. and i think in the link posted above you didnt really provide any decent feedback. not a personal attack, just an observation.

yes, hence my comment further down the page.
tbh i dont really care what colour of wheels you had/have as its your choice but the fact is you have made a thread going on about how corsa owners are slatted for their mods etc but youre one of the slatters.

You do stuff like this every few months. Then you reply to threads saying you have no opinion on it or anything any more.
