well reason for this is I was just talking to my dad about getting another Corsa & fitting a 2ltr to it, and he went off on one saying that the Corsa is too small a car, and then suggested me getting a Sierra Saphire RS Cossie. We continued to have a constructive argument, and he then said he would pay for half the car (Sierra) if I dont get another corsa...
But I want a 2ltr Corsa...
FFS why are old people so fekin stubborn

Prefered the standard Seirra Cosworth.
I used to know a lad who at 25 had a mint moonstone blue with an RS500 engine in it - must be worth an absolute fortune now.

I know, I'm going to take a friend along with me, he runs his own garage & does lots of work on cars, so he will have a good idea what to look for!
But I cant do this until i've got rid of my old corsa which wont be until January, but if he is serious about this, TBH, I still aint sure if I'd rather have a cossie or a 2ltr corsa!
