How did you all get into Corsa's or even Vauxhalls, just out of interest.
My reason for liking Vauxhalls has to be because of my uncles old Nova Gsi.
What are yours?

My fezbomb got stolen and burnout and there was a cheap 1.2 8v going for sale near me in decent condition so i bought it. I also discovered corsasport and i found/find there is always stuff available for a corsa if you look in the right places.

Driving past one (GSi B series) and I thought what the hell is that?, so I pulled over spoke to the bloke and bought it! He was a member on here many years ago and told me about the site, Now I run a club here in Australia for the poor , convict cousin of the Vauxhaul Corsa... The Holden Barina..

My dream car was a Corsa GSi while in middle school a bloke down the road from me bought one brand new, and i wanted one ever since then. Always had a love for pretty much the whole vaux range, cant really explain why  Each to their own i guess.
See alot of people dont understand why there is vauxhall enthusiasts. But then i cant see why anyone would even consider spending there hobbies on Mini's Beetle's Camper's etc

Dad used to have Vauxhalls, Uncle works at a Vauxhall dealership. So I got the Corsa for my 1st car as I quite liked the look of them and knew I had plenty of people with experience to help out when bits went wrong!

I don't know why they wouldn't have sold one standard in the UK, I mean the black paint isn't going to attract much heat it's always so cold over there
and the funny thing is we didn't get a white model GSi???? If anything that was going to reflect the bloody Aussie sun, wouldn't need air conditioning??? which was a standard option on our Convict barina's/Corsa's

dad had always been into Vauxs... so was a sensible choice having corsa as 1st car, and after joining this site, decided to splash out on a second one, and spend far too much.
