Either sell, and not get much of the money back, or delete this thread and stop dreaming


Not dreaming

Going to buy / do one of the above, but trying to find out what is the best idea

my dad reckons he had a modded mini back in the day, and it was impossible to flip it over. He said it in a manner that implied he had tried with other cars and suceeded but not with his mini, which I found quite worrying.

mini with red top - you're dreaming

drop a red top in the corsa - good fun power upgrade

corsa sleeper ^^^^

nova turbo - if you think your bill was alot for the cambelt kit/head work? dont go for a nova turbo.

lupo gti - look nice, pow will sleep with you cause of the badge.

I had a corsa turbo before I got sensible

Then I decided sensible wasn't for me, had a few more hot hatches, Now I have the Astra Gsi

But I'm getting rid as I want another corsa turbo

Yes. But I have never seen a redtop Corsa in a garage that'd take part exchange, nor someone with a redtop Corsa that would want to 'downgrade' to a 1.6 in all honesty.

I just want something fun for a few months, whilst I save a bit more money and either buy a 182 cup or an astra Gsi

LET Nova would be fun but would cost a lot to run therefore not really helping you save money.

Just buy Ecks corsa and blast around in it
