Marv.... sell it - u debate it all the time !!! What else can you do to it - you could put a new engine in but it will still be the drivers seat you have sat in for 2.5 years.... have a change!!
Still love the van like, but these things have to be done !!

PLUS.... the title is CONVINCE MARV TO GET A NEW CAR... not "should I" or "do you think" like normal so you made your mind up already

It wasn't at asda, but on the road that goes by it, past that pub that has the big 'curry night wednesdays' sign on the side. There must be a copycat mint green corsa lurking around

Monday 4pm ish... I've seen the punto, it could have been, was quite a distance away. Speaking of puntos, some twat in a blue new shape sporting with tints followed me from the 'worth, and then cut me up on a roundabout.

Seen your car around Darlo mate, not a big fan of the whole modding scene but I saw your post on here and thought I'd give ya my advice!
May be a little bit biased as I am a Mk4 Golf owner, but if I were you try and source yourself a nice little Mk4 1.8T GTI. Some good examples out there for reasonable money, even S/T reg. If you're wanting to make engine mods, the 1.8T is your best bet as it has the biggest tuning potential and there's some good chips out there from the likes of AMD and Revo. Something else you may never have thought about is getting an oil burner (GT TDI PD) which offer masses of torque rather than bhp. After all, torque is what gets you moving fast! Some of the guys on our forum with the TDI's are producing better results than the petrols and still getting good mpg!
If you want to read up more and convince yourself to a nice treat, pop over to our forum at http://www.uk-mkivs.net

hi graham mate, my g/f has a mk3 black golf, shes not had it long and is getting lowered, 17s, and a few subtle bits, i like them a lot. on the way to work i pass loads of mk4 golfs, got to say they do look very nice indeed
my dads got a 2.0t oil burner and it flys, its a big car too and gets silly miles to the gallon!! only thing is his is group 14, and im only 20 still lol
i did this car test on parkers.co.uk and it came up with a bmw coupe 318, had a looksy and u can get full electrics, silver leather, 18s etc for under 5k insurance is about 1300 tho, quite a difference trom 550 on the corsa
how did u hear about this site mate?
ps - looking for offers over 4 on the corsa, thats with tv, coilovers, etc etc, the list goes on and on
