was woken up last night to a text asking why my car was near the travs (a pub) with me being up in scotland with the rest of my family i got a bit worried so startied to arrange for someone to go check to see if my car was still at my mum and dads house
luckily it was. but now i've learnt that someone has copied mine major changes will have to happen

He took a loan out to do it, copied mine in the space of about a week, a few weeks later he was dicking about at a local place called Burton Dasset Hills, driving along in first on idle at about 5mph getting out the car, running alongside and getting in (see where this is going yet) So a load of us are watching and having a laugh, so he gets cockier, gets out climbs on the roof, then falls off, the car carries on....towards the edge of the hill...we're all in stitches as the car accelerates away out of site as he runs after it  
We help him drag it out the ditch at the bottom and its busted all the front end, he attempts to drive home with no coolant, seizes the engine and my mate buys the car off him there and then for £45, complete with nearly new alloys, suspension etc etc

Well a corsa is hardly a unique car. This is bound to happen
