These 106's obviously aren't that light.

LOL, Cheers guys

Deano - Just used halfords shampoo, then polished and used megs wax.

Fad - Yeh will be selling the corsa if the price is right.

Do like the corsa, just fancied something with a little more poke.

I recommend the Nxt Generation Spray Wax from Megs. Get very good results. And less effort

Yeh thats what i meant by megs wax. lol

Only thing is that it takes ages to clear the white dust/wax deposits on black.

How does it feel to have a car that is so direct? So do you belive in all the hype?

Haven't driven it much . (Only when i bought it). But it feels like a go-kart tbf. Literally feel as-if you are in contact with the road.
The redline is at 8k IIRC which i didnt expect when i first drove it.

Will let you know when i'm insured on it and take it for a proper dirve.

Thanks wooly, gave it a good valet today! Was filthy inside. Should have seen the colour of the water that came out of it.

Just need to tidy up the engine bay now

It honestly breaks my heart to see it on someone elses drive way

I was soooooooo close to buying it back off the lad

Every mod on the car was done by myself mate so any questions just ask. The car handled superbly when I had it and there is a special road up my way that took major balls to drive flat out on and in all honesty the 106 was and still is the only car i've been in that can do it

The inside was like new when I had it as well.

Here are a few pics of it when I first bought it, you'll notice the inside was super clean and the leather looked brand new
