Well it had to happen one day....
I had been growing out of the Corsa for a while. I love the car to bits but it wasnt portraying the right image...
I put the car on eBay at £7500 and got a few calls but no sale. I then relisted the Corsa and it Sold 
Last Friday the car drove away from my house. It was bought by an 18 year old girl who lives in Leicester. I have told her about the site 
I had been looking for a Cream Mini Cooper S with factory DVD Sat Nav for a while and one came up for sale from a dealer which was in my price range, so after a test drive the cash changed hands and its now mine 
I am loving driving the Mini, it sooo quick and normal, lol.

It did sell, but not for what i wanted for it...
I spent £25,000 on that Corsa...
Once i got the Mini and realised how nice it was to drive, i didnt drive the Corsa any more. I did enjoy the last drive in when i took the Girl who bought it for the test drive. I hadnt been out in it for over a month and i forgot how loud and how much bass the Corsa had
It was time to grow up and i am happy it sold.
Plans for the Mini are Aero front bumper and a works upgrade, then keep enjoy it

Is it still under warranty then? Thats the only reason I'd go down the JCW route, my car had it fitted from new at around £4000!!!!
You can get the same sort of power (210bhp) miles cheaper than that from loads of places! Think Ill probably go down this route with the GF's car cos that extra 45 or so horsepower makes such a big difference!!!
