Heya I've just signed up today. I have a P reg 1.4 16v corsa, its completely standard as I'm looking to hopefully get a newer one or buy a completely differnet car, haven't decided yet.
I've only been driving since last March, passed the day before my 18th. The poor little cars been through alot all due to my poor driving. I've had a few bumps, some worse than others, and a new engine which was completely my fault I think I'm probably a typical woman driver but nevermind all is good now

oil leak i was on the m25 and when i was putting my foot down it wasn't accelerating it was slowing down so came off the m25 and stopped at some traffic lights and then it went chug chug chug bang and cut out lol. Was sitting at these quiet traffic lights at 1.30am by myself not really knowing what to do, the car wouldn't start but luckily this car full of guys stopped and moved it out the way and got me some oil. Took it to the garage as it was due to go in for a service the next day anyway and just as i pulled into the space it cut out again lol.
