guy came into work today
same guy who bought my first corsa
said a few things wrong with it, so i went out,
car is dirty to fuck inside and out 
stone chip on side started to rust aswell
said hes had a new starter and clutch fitted and it wasnt running right
so i checked the bite- right at the bottom
and then the adjuster, the adjuster is rightup to the end
so im not sure if they fitted a new clutch or just ajusted it
but he payed for a clutch etc
worse thing thou i revved it and as it went back to idle it rattled it's bollocks off whats that? worn lifters? what? sounded fooking ill 
pissed me off a little bit i know its not my car anymore but at least it shud be looked after

i will build my current corsa to a better standard
i know ill have less interior a roll cage and the body work its a little dented "not gonna bother taking them out"
but i just mis my old car
was thinking this morning of getting a combo van fitting sport seats and black door cards, alloys lower it a little etc etc
using that for work and to trailer the corsa to shows, track days etc
i dunno

Low on oil I think; no oil getting into the hydraulic lifters.
