Its only done 8,000 mile since I sold her last year, just needs a new front bumper.

Shit, I want her back!

Shall I go back to the 1.2 16v and drop a 2.0 16v in later once I can afford it? Or keep going with the GT?

I love my old SXi, and miss her badly

Well you either spend 2k on the corsa or 2k on the GT and end up with possibly around the same times?

I have to admit though I did love the drive in Andy's GT... and I think the S2000 was a little surprised....

The Corsa is newer and probably in better condition, and I have never really felt the same about any other car I have owned.

I have to have her back.

True Tim, but that wasnt mentioned earlier. Alot of people are starting to prefer the sound of a high revving TB engine now, but as said earlier that is gonna cost £££ + a bit more ££ and a few ££'s just to make sure everything u need is there.

I seriously want it back, I don't mind it being a 1.2 16v for a year whilst I repay for the purchase of the car.

Mateys sending me pics of her later on.

Just need to find someone stupid enough to lend me the money, oh and no worries about insurance

£400 FC with 2 years no claims

Look, you seem to really want the corsa back. (dont blame you, cos it looks mint) BUT as someone has already said, you dont know what this guy has done to her. might be pretty badly raced engine. I would say to go back to the corsa. There are loads more tuning and styling bits available for the corsa than the punto. And the insurance would be cheaper too.

Go get her back mate.
Steve.

Tis a nice lookinn car mate, but just think how slow it well be. IMO if you want another corsa that bad, you should buy one that already has a 2litre coversion etc, saw one a couple of weeks ago was a GSI with 17s lowered etc 2995ono.
Also just think how much you well miss the d/v turbo etc.
Personally mate i wouldnt bother.
You are always gonna be sentimental towards ur first motor, i mean mine was a mini clubman estate 1.1 rofl, had dreams of buyin her back and droppin an mg metro turbo lump in for ages thats no joke either!!!
