The time has come i think to depart with my corsa i havnt really owned it that long but it is a bit of a high millager and thats when things start to go wrong.

i have spent quite a lot fixing it doing this and that to it.

i have been offered 400 + the pug trekker i was talking about on here a while ago.

which i think is a good price considering i brought it for 450.

then sell my headunit which i have been offered anywhere between 200-300

then sell the scooter.

i will be sad to see her go i have had some fun moments in her, its just getting to a point when i drive it down the road thinking that bits are going to fly off.

Also getting annoyed that every police man thats see's me wants to check the reg see if its mine/insured/stolen etc etc.

replacing it will be..

A Escort Van this will be purely for tools in the back and a derv engine will be a lot better on fuel

found a decent looking one with tow bar and roof rack 113k miles near where i live for 500 quid

my project car will be a reanuilt 5 gt turbo that i have found of a mate for 300 quid (blown turbo hench price) this will get a full rebuilt from the ground up.

what are your opnions on the two cars?

Corsa ownership was fun while it lastest
