G-day all newbie from Oz,
I was driving down the road today and saw a Holden Barina in a front yard for sale. I went over to have a look and it had been flogged half to death. I considered putting it to sleep but it just looked at me all sad and stuff so I decided to take it home with me and give it a wash and something to eat (petrol, oil, and brake fluid, LOL) it started to look a bit better so we decided to keep it and now it's part of the family, it follows me everywhere...We decided to call it 'TLRM'...The little red monster Hehehe
I want to show some pics but I am still finding my way around in here as soon as I figure it out I'll show ya how much happier it is! LOL

Nice one, you will need to upload pics to a hosting service. i.e photobucket or imageshack.
Or you could go premium

oh right, i thougth it was something else as the forum title says corsa sport - for vauxhall, opel and holden CORSA and Barina
so sounds like corsa is one model and barina is another.

I'm from NSW Coffs Harbour, beaches and married my babe, hehehe
This Barina = Corsa looks exactly the same but different badge, similar lion looking emblem, Has a full body kit and is red. I couldn't just leave it there the previous owner was mistreating it.
I have looked at some of the members cars and I am suitibly impressed, I am a panel beater by trade but got out of the business now I make wine, totally different career. I still work on mates cars every now and then!

GSI with fabric roof! Perfect for the Aussie weather IMO.
Just needs a standard bonnet, jacking covers and centrecaps to be perfect!

Not powerful enough?
Looks nice, lose the bonnet and tidy up a bit but looks clean
