Well it has been fairly good to me but the 2.0 decided to fook up today. Yesterday there was a slight clunking noise when I was turning right & now that seems to have developed into a louder clunking noise when turning in either direction  New CV joint time I think  
So this now means I can't use it & I've decided that its probably better for the car if I take it off the road for the rest of winter. This also gives me a chance to get everything tidied up, change afew bits & bobs, maybe a respray & possibly a trip to cossvaux  You lot will probably not see it again now until PVS. (which you all MUST attend  )
Only problem I have now is that the blue corsa is in my garage after fixing the gear linkage & for some reason it wont start  Once this has been sorted it will be going up for sale. I'd love to keep it but if im having a runaround car I would much rather keep the sxi as its much newer (X-reg compared to L-reg) & hopefully should mean I have no mechanical problems. I am abit gutted that I wont get to drive it about & show it off as it is a great looking car that turns heads, but I will leave this job for the new owner 
As for the SXI, well since it got broken into afew weeks back I kinda lost interest abit, but tomorrow it will be heading over to the MOT station & then theres a new bumper coming for it some time this week. Also im going to fit the Rota wheels i bought & im ditching the saxo spoiler. Should look nice & tidy when its done
Not wasting any time this year with my cars, hopefully everything will work out OK
