Love the LCR and the Evo too tbh.
Indeed, Grey Gsi was lovely too makes me miss mine 
forgot you had a white VTS, they look lovely in white and are uber rare. Suprised you hated it I went from CTR to one and found it cracking fun, (when healthy  )
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

One thing I will say is the engines are shit hot. So rev happy and respond really well to simple breathing mods. But everything else about them is useless. No care or attention gone into the build quality

Sam just pwned this thread.

Love my Corsa and it will always be my favourite car, but driving the Cerb is something else!

Yeah - when I was buying them the dealerships were all shocked to find out I wasn't in my late 40s/50s having a mid-life crisis! Not a real man until you own a V8 haha!

First one was due to under-use before I bought it. 400miles or less in the previous 2 years it had been sat. Sticky piston or something similar and ended up back pressurising the block which resulted in oil pissing out of the air intakes! Couldn't have predicted it and had I not noticed (oil pressure seemed a bit intermittent) it could have been a lot worse! The car still drove perfectly but it was only a matter of time.
The second one is a slightly smaller engine but not noticeable on UK roads, the noise and way it delivers power more than make up for the 12-18mpg and the temperamental electronics!
