Well, after 13 weeks of waiting I took delivery of my car on thursday

.

First shots of it the day it arrived at the garage

On collection day - Out with the old, in with the new

(and no, the oil isn't off the corsa

)

Then a few (poor) shots I took in the Welsh countryside...

Love it to bits, and have done 620 miles so far in it

. Avearge of 30.5mpg though which I don't think is too bad

Love that mate.

Get a good deal on it ?

How old are you ? How much you pay for insurance ?

Yeah got a really good deal on it (over £3k off the list price), and a decent price for my old corsa

.

Am 22, insurance is going to be £700 when I renew in October (5Yrs NCB to thank for that!).

I don't dislike the blue, but I've wanted a red car for the last two i've had, and it stands out more in Red IMO

- pics don't do it justice cause it's almost flurescent

Yeah it's power red, but I'm under no confusions that it won't trun to Power Pink if not kept waxed

. Old man had a Flame Red Cavvy about 10 years ago - was 8 years old when he sold it with 110k on the clock, but the paintwork looked like new, hence the reason I wanted red

the reason the older cars used to turn pink if not polished often and waxed was that they were painted in 2k but now aday its all painted in a COB (clear over base) sytem so the colour stays red for alot longer but will still fad slowly if not looked after!

Yeah it's supposedly better at not fading [though a friend had a bright red Silvia that stood in a field for 2 years and that hadn't faded, so obviously they knew something Vauxhall didn't

]. Personally though I'm not holding my breath, and intend to keep it well polished anyway

nice choice, i had the astra sri 150bhp diesel for a weekend and it was fantastic, with sport mode on and with 18s it handled very well my mate commented on how it felt just as stable as his e46 330ci
