i have the td.
and i have the sport.
now was gonna use the sport for daily driver, the td was intended for me to do up and sell but, the sport is now a little impractical and where i leave it i will worry about it.
i can also insure the sport and the td for about what im paying to insure the van, the van is going so in theory i can use the sport for fun, and shows and meets etc and the td for goin to work an back, lugging crap about, and if if its gets dented scratched i would be arsed cos its pretty rough anyway 
sound like a good idea?

Why not just use the Sport and sell the TD and the van?
It's only a Corsa

I give up worring about my car. Got better things to worry about! If it gets dented, scratched or broken into then let it be. Nothing you can do about it apart from park it in decent places. At the end of the day it's a car and when i sell it on i'll only get the book price whether it has no marks on it at all or a few car park dents. Currently has no dents and the last scratch some little badger decided to do polished out

To be fair, in theory the idea sounds ace but in reality is a different story.

Ive run 2 cars before (to keep cost & miles off my impreza) but found I was paying out the same amount....probably more + 2 had cars suffering depretiation losing value by the day instead of just 1 & to top it off I missed driving the scooby & depressed myself with the shitness of the 1.2 clio I drove 7 days a week to & from work!!

Personally, I would do what you said, if you can afford to.
If not, simply run the Sport. I know no matter how much the car is worth, it's our pride and joy etc BUT you scenario could be something to worry about when you've got £20k worth of car to worry about, rather than 2 lots of £3k for example.

i can afford to run both as the td will use bugger all fuel, "shud be as good as the van" and insurance works on less than the van collectivly, the tax well the td is a 1500 so is £110 for a year the sport i dont mind paying for 
i cant afford a house so might aswell have some fun
