Hello lads, new here Just got a vauxhall corsa 1.0 12v, understand they arent the fastest machines around but i want something economic and low on insurance for my first year so I can jump into something faster on my second year hopefully?
Its a 2000 Envoy 5 door model with no power steering which is a bummer, but it only has 35,000 miles. Got it for £1,500 and insurance is £700 third party F+T. I havent yet passed my test so im using it as an L plate car but ive done 14 lessons so i hope im ready for my test soon 
Seems like a great community and i look forward to posting further!

Just cosmetic probably , its only a 12v so unlikely I will do any performance modifications , if there even is any 
Decent alloys when i have some money, maybe a tidy little spoiler for the back and a general tidy up, its in pretty good nick at the moment so rusty bits are my target

don't put an induction kit on it or you'll end up replacing the AFM.
