What do you guys think about going on a Pistonheads run in my Corsa?
For those that don't know, its a 1.6 16v, putting out approximately 120 bhp.
Apparently its just going to be a gentle cruise across the mountains, but for those that have seen my car, do you think it represents the right image for the site? What with its paintwork etc?
Cheers,
Tom

If you turn up with your car looking like this...
...don't expect a mega warm welcome, but i'd still go, but give the car a clean first. There are "some" nice people on PH who love all cars, not just supercars.
Fuck them if they don't think your car is up to their standards. You all have to start somewhere.

First time my dad did a PH run he struggled to keep up with his lot in his elise. There was a guy in a Panda in the same lot though who still managed to keep up.

Go for it if you are a car enthusiast you'll enjoy it! Not very day you get to see a load of super cars!
