Why did you sell the car / what happened to it?

I sold my corsa cause it was getting far too old, smoking on start up and it was deadly slow....

I kind of miss the sport - Only because it didn't cost me a penny other than tax/mot for the 6 months I had it

Bless!

Clio. Was way too much of a step down, would rather have had the Corsa. I tried to like it, but it wasnt happening.

I sold mine because I was an idiot and instead of getting the head skimmed and putting it back together, decided that splitting it, making a MASSIVE loss on the bits and buying a Nova was a better idea.

Sold my MR2 GTS to pay off finances and build up savings for a house, happy enough with the 1.6 Corsa B though, gives me something to still mess about with

Got rid of the astra when the fan belt kept coming off and pissed me off no end, i had just turned 19 and took advantage of the free insurance deal on new corsa's.

Sold my only other car because we were going to Blackpool for a holiday, and the Saxo wouldnt make it there, so the corsa came in!

My Saxo cut out at junctions, and gears were really hard to change from cold.
