Silver 1.2 8v corsa; like it but it was just too slow. Swapped it for a 306 xrdt with my girlfriend 9her dad got it cheap of a mate), loads better to drive but has an oil leak also got the v5 through and i'm the 9th owner, the guy he bought it off has never passed stuff on like service history etc. So trying to trade it in with a guy i know before it dies or something!

y

the clio was cos i lowered it too much on small wheels (had the exhayst syetem replaced and gave it to may dad then got the escort, that was a mistake of a young driver taking a corner too fast and then hitting a ditch hence y it rolled alot.
the nova went bang as it was 21 yrs old and the engine had been abused and i picked it up for 20 quid

the corsa accidents were locking brakes and ice

but yer shouldnt of been on the road

1st car - 2000 corsa 1.2 16v, bought it when i was 16, put alloys, lowered it and made a boot install, put private reg on a week after i passed my test, car got broken into a few times and scrathed. crashed for the first time about 5 months after passing, then a month later crashed on the same bend lol and wrote the car off

2nd car - 2002 saxo vtr, got it 3 weeks after writing the corsa off. knew it was a cat-d beforehand. came with tinted windows and then put reg on straight away. every morning the car got a new dent or scratch, the car got borken into, nicked, found with nothing left in the boot! windows smashed and finally got paint stripped. i lost my license a week later so that gave me time to put the car into a bodyshop to get all panels fixed and a full respray. the day after it came out of bodyshop i passed my test again and then a few weeks later put thousands intot he car and modified it. the car then got impounded a few times and was pretty much impossible to drive anywer without getting pulled over. the car got into a bit of a state whilst i had a rally theme goin on lol so police told me i was recieving alot of points so therfore will be banned again.

3rd car - 1994 corsa 1.4 8v, seen as the saxo was jst too much trouble i stupidly swapped it for a kitted up corsa, i never liked the styling so was planning on selling the bits and ktting it the way i wanted. 3 weeks after buying the car i took it off the road and for the past 7 months it hasnt been touched lol

4th car - i wrote off my mates nova so had to buy it

5th car - 1990 nova 1.2, bought it for spares, one day i went down to my unit and realsied it had been nicked lol

6th car - 1992 nova 1,4, bought it kitted up, was only meant for a runabout and for a laugh really, gearbox fucked up the next day so i left the car outside my birds house for months

7th car - 1999 saxo vtr, bought it day after the nova fucked up, bought the exact same wheels that wer on my previous saxo and got an exhaust sorted for it. drove it for about a month and then the radiator and starter motor fucked up so i parked it with the nova for about aohter month outside my birds house

at one point i ahd 4 cars at the same time but have all been sold now, tho the corsa is kind of still mine but is being stored somewhere else.

well that was a bit of on essay

Not a long history, only two cars over the last 11 years:

1986 Austin Maestro City. Modified with a 5 speed MG gearbox. Bodywork finally fell apart, core plug fell out (JB welded back in).
1997 Corsa B 1.5 TD - My current workhorse.
