i had plans to do a few bits over the winter (which i still will do most) and was going to put it up forsale around spring next year, but a guy has offerd me the price i was going to look for when i had done 'all' the changes i had planned but take it away in january instead..

really not sure what to do tbh, making me sway more to selling it sooner because it looks sorry for itself just sat on the drive and not driving it..

whats do people think i should do? and what cars would be a nice upgrade for 2.5k..

yeah, as well as the corsa, it makes sense having a car i can actually drive quickly too lol

polo 1.4 16v colour concept would be your best bet other than a mk2 16v imo.

Mk5 Fiesta Zetec S. Granted it'll be a 1.6 16v but I can't imagine they're that expensive to run. £2.5k would get you a second gen one too with the better engine.
