I remember that car! Was a big fan.
I had an A4 1.9 tdi after owning two corsas. I then sold it a few months later for another corsa. I missed the fun in driving it along with other things. Noe that I have a corsa again I couldnt be happier lol

the plan was to sell the polo get a cheap runaround and then buy a 200sx in december..
I know that would be the better option but i just really miss it

corsa's have never been cheaper hamish, you can still pick up low mileage ones too.
i had a corsa as my first car, sold it, then bought another one 2 years on because i felt i hadn't done what i wanted to do to one - 'unfinished business' if you like... lol
dooo it.

isn't any car a waste of money at the end of the day?
the only way you'll not waste money is to drive a stock car... (but that's no fun is it?)
edit: beat me to it mobby lol

but what i mean is that there is no real potential for it to be a "real" car. Its a hatchback, FWD.
If i were to spend the same monies on a 200sx i would have circa 400bhp

i don't know who that was aimed at, but when i went out in my mates supra, it was fast (totally stock engine) but hes still 'wasted' a shit load of money on it (rims were £1800 etc etc)
if you really wanted to save money and be sensible, you'd be buying a prius.

I've found that the sellers (Except Colin) are ALWAYS tempted to return to Corsas.
Mine's been in the garage for the last 2 months, while I have been using the golf. Got it fixed this weekend, it rattles, squeaks and is uncomfortable to be in, I find it embarrassing if I have to take a passenger/mum/nan. Never been happier. Thank fuck it's fixed 
Corsa 2.0 16v Vegas - Sold

it was aimed at scotty. Ive got no problem with wasting money on modifiying. I know that i will never see a return from it. But what im trying to say is that a corsa doesnt have much potential as a standard car compared to evo's skylines 200sx's etc
