Yeah.
Used to be a very good friend of mine, drifted apart. A few years later, I saw about this. Could not believe it for a long time. Lovely bloke, but you didn't want to get on the wrong side of him either.
How odd just noticed that a bloke called Gavin Gibbs on the zafira gsi owners club Facebook page just posted I wonder if it's him

Hence laughing at my own failure. That wasn't the joke though 
It was the predicted BHP of engines on the day I got right

C13 and that issue made me get a Corsa. True story.
I wanted Mille Miglia actions, clear rear lights and an MCR kit.

Oh, missed this, but Gavin Gibbs went to prison. Supposidly killed his own baby child. I still dont believe it.
What the actual fuck....
That cant be true, I saw him a few years back he is Mystery Machine on AON I am sure....
Last time I saw him he had a Stage 3 Zaff with serious sounds and two baby seats. He was a properly nice guy too.

Kindness Stage 1, when you were a ladies ladies man
Fad, yup, whilst I used the wrong word there, he was just convicted. Someone linked a BBC link to it. He was a really nice bloke. But stresses of children can change things.

Some direct links to videos.
My Corsa at Santa Pod PVS 2003. Times were not great, but it did weigh 1.02 tonnes, so not light at all. First ever runs with the 2.0, and very consistant times.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1PMyBvKA3M
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=9tGcCqFFXXc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PONdy8rLZC0&feature=relmfu
Trax 0-60mph. Time is VERY doubtfull. Timer stopped before I got into 3rd. Considering (from memory) that 16" wheels on an F20 was 59mph, the time was rather comical.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjDw8mBwxF4
My car build video.

Donnas car build video.

Donnas 2.0 Turbo accelerating (will update this at some point in the future).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeg7y8h2zPk
Lee Mitchell 2.0 and Corbs 2.0 Tubby @ Pod.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmrxshnUq44
Corsa Vs Saxo Day at Bruntingthorpe in 2002. This is Pt1. Pt 2 + 3 should be linked at the end of the video. Includes a 140mph run in Lucky B TB 2.1 16v Corsa, and 135mph flyby from Andy Hamiltons 220bhp 1.6 16v.

Just because its cool. Lotus Carlton Vs E46 BMW M3.

Meh, not so interesting to you lot, but my fairly rare Benelli Tornado in the South of France. There were some bikers on here in the past.

I think Tim had anirflow issues as there isn't much room behined the bumper to the lower frame. Tim needed to cut a fair bit out of the ack of the bumper to get it in (look where the IC is right behined the back of the bumper, about 1-2" of plastic was cut away from the back, easy job). Its what I would have loved to have done if i'd have put a LET in mine though (had an airdam, its THE best bumper IMO, biased ).
Depends how much power you want to be running. Thats large enough for big power, but if your running up to 350bhp ish, a smaller one will still do the job fine. Just do other things to keep the temps down like wrapping of inlet pipes and heat wrapping of turbo and exhaust.

I agree - i also find it a little amusing that if you wanted to back in the day you could have ordered a nice shiny corsa and have them fit an irmscher kit with 16" softstars at the dealer and its almost the look people still want today
