pros...
my parents like the look of my car, and actually respect/praise me coz iv basically done all the work myself
they also like my car coz its a good hobey for me (keeps be out of trouble!  )
cons...
dad thinks its far too low (it is  ) and thus i have to drive it very carefully and i still scrape the body kit a lot 
sometimes my mum thinks i work to long and hard on it, and that i should pay ppl to do it for me 
they both think i drive too fast, specially my mum but my dads got used to it 
oh and my neighbours respect me (i think) coz im always workin on my car...BUT they moan coz i wash it too much
they often say "ur gonna wash the paint off soon" and "wanna do my car next"

Both don't like it
Don't see why i stripped it out
don't see why i changed the engine
don't like any other mods i've done to it
both think it's a standard 1.4
and keep asking me why don't i sell it and buy a "nice" standard corsa C

Hate hard suspension -- only mum's been in it with the 2L but if I even slightly push the throttle she grabs on to the dash
I didn't even tell them about the 2L until my dad happened to see under my bonnet while I was doing some cleaning... And told them it cost sooooo much less than it did...

Would you believe my sparco seats cost me £200 and my 2L conversion me £500? I don't think so
Gotta see your car now jr... sounds pretty impressive from the reports I've had
We might have to do another RR day so I can get my fuelling sorted

my dad loves it, my mum likes it but doesn't understand the sounds system and hard suspension either. Funny thing is when she borrows it to go somewhere, she looks well funny lol.

I loved that passer-by quote "Does his dad know he's driving his car?" Did you say anything to them?
