lol @ moaning about the fuel! thats good fueling!

i didnt do the invoice for your car so ill see what you were charged for and see how much it will be to finish it off!

this car is one of the nicest looking corsas i have seen in a while, its not 100% imaculate etc like some, but it just looks right! wheels really suit it!

james, want a price on an exhaust system??

broster - fuel is good but not as good as it used to be lol. maybe thats just because ive been used to driving the missus 1.2i 8v about lol

ive been quoted £494.65 for the manifold alone but not got a system quote yet. just about run out of money now lol
