i've been looking at corsas today, and found his old car for sale in a garage in weleyn garden city.
just wanted to find some info out about it, cause it's what im looking for, and seems to be in mint condition!
can't believe i found his old car though! looked at the no plate and thought i know that car, had a look on the sills, then in the engine bay for the airbox mod and K & N, got home looked in his garage and it was his! small world

4k?? I'd keep an eye on autotrader as well mate, coz thats quite expensive.
IMO u'd be better off with a GSi :s

hello board. sent you an e-mail m4tt. Im still in the UK but very busy and no broadband anymore. As soon as house is sold, im off to auz. M4tt, there is a small dent in the front passenger side wing above the wheel arch. Its tiny and will pull out. Thats the only anomoly on the bodywork when i sold it to moorlands. Im driving an F reg pug 205 diesel now. Pulls like a train, good performance for an old banger. Great fun in the snow. Anyhow, you wont find a better condition Sport for £4k now. GSi's are dogs and you will be hard pushed to be able to find a minter in these parts. A garage near stanborough was selling an L reg white GSi, it was going for £2k and it was in perfect condition. That was 3 months back since i last saw a GSi around WGC.

i know it seems sad, but i really miss my car. Driving around listening to some good tunes, just getting some driving pleasure, as it were. The pug is a good laugh, i have to bang the dash board to make the lights come on, the heater fan is loose so any sharp corners makes it sound like a meat grinder, it leaks like a woman on blob week and it smells. Other than the passenger window dropping out on wednesday night in te snow, its fairly nippy and loves corners. Certainly more rewarding to drive than the corsa, since it doesnt roll with 405 springs and dampers on. I cant wait to buy my met grey barina GSi.
