So the Corsa Sport 1.4 decided it wanted to cost loads to repair the damage i caused during my 'Mini-Crash' i did in it :-(
so i decided to sell it (SOLD) for spares or repairs.
And Have a look for a C, as i wasnt 100% sure i wanted another B unless i found the perfect one! but kinda couldnt so just looked at C's! I miss my B , purely because i got use to driving it and tbh they are very nippy!
It is a 1.4 Elegance, 35,000 Miles, Pink!, 2001 plate, full service history/serviced at Vauxhall only, air conditioning. etc etc
Tbh i wasnt looking for apink car i wanted a 1.4! and it just happend to be the colour that i thought id never find!
Only pic i have at the moment!

I have not driven in 4 weeks, and driving this today i got a bit scared , you need to be heavy footed on brake and light footed on accelerator! which is opposite to the B! so thats one thing i need to get the hang of! and you can see less out the back than a B! but better wing Mirrors.

well tbh he has always wanted to do a 2litre corsa just never got round to it, with his MK3 taking up most of his time last year.

paid £2700 for the C
and my b/f bought my B to turn it into 2ltr tack car and he is having the Comps! it was hard decision i must tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I F***ing love them wheels! tbh i would rather sell them, i bought brand new tyres saturday for them and 2 brand new compomotives! but they will be going on the B anyway so i will still see them and will drive the B a couple of tmes!

Loved my Corsa C, sad to let it go but was time to move on
Mine was you had to be light footed on the brakes or the ABS would kick in and heavy footed on the gas as it was slow as fuck Mine was a 1.4 too
If you feel the back end slide don't touch the brakes or you will lose it, keep ya right foot nailed to the gas

the brake in the C is really heavy! will have to egt that sorted, My B was really easy to brake and sensitive.
i think my 1,4 c is more gutsy than the 1.4 B just a tiny bit!

Dunno, my brakes were always sensitive and mate mates one is the same. Way too easy to lock up imo though..
My 307 is even worse. Throw it around a corner earlier and hit the brakes as i wanted to reverse back and turn around. ABS kicked in way to soon. Was no way it was going to lock up.. But this has bigger brakes and discs all the way around.
