No cos sentimental value is what made me keep it in a garage for 3 years, fooling myself into thinking i'd eventually work on it again....
I didn't, it went to car heaven

That car was on my drive the other day! The current owner came to pick up some black morrettes. Looked nice on the car to be fair.

Well it had two rebuilds so that constitues for dying.
Dont forget you actually fucked the A pillar also....you wernt blessed with luck were you
There was also that Oil pressure issue....oh hang on.....no there wasnt
Alex be interesting to see the morrettes on it spose it due some changes as its not been touched since I sold it.
Not sure I'd want my old car back maybe if I was confortable but its not really a collectors car or anything

Only got rid of my first car a month or so back and I'd quite happily pay over the odds to buy it back. I know where the guy who now owns it works, never know one day lol

I wouldn't buy any of my old cars back. 106 was shit, had 5 doors and the body was rough with car park dings. Saxo, would have been a excellent buy for someone second hand as i only had it 5 months and put on 10k. However, it was a 1.1 and no good for actually driving anywhere. C2 was the worst car i ever owned! Overheated first time i took it on the motorway, brakes were shot, wheel bearings fucked and needed new tyres. Sold that as i hated it with passion after 3 months. Only car i've not lost money on though. Loved my Corsa but it has been given 20k of death and the electrics were fucked. Never could work out what was wrong with them..
Corsa is the only car i've loved but the pug is the only one i've driven for 40k and not had any problems. Actually think i'll miss the pug as much as the Corsa if i ever sell.

I couldnt go back to my Corsa after the Rex. Although back when I first got it, the Corsa felt as quick to me as the Rex does now.
