Yeah yeah, said it before, shutting fotki down blah blah, but my subscription hadn't run out. It is due in March though. Fotki is now shite, mail is shite, hosting services is shite, speed is shite, email is down loads, all for a paid fee. Anyhoo, have a selection of images from the years.
Sure this came up FS a few months back? Found a few images of it I knew I had. Love or hate it, who cares.
Wonder what happened to Spankee's LET. Had a genuine BTCC Vectra splitter.
Anyone remember the insurance job on this, tried for £100k or something stupid. CalibreDodgyWorks 
Who won? x2 LET Nova (600+bhp), or wifey on her first ever run up the strip, 2 weeks after LET install?
Wifey did. Bloke looked over and laughed on the start line, rev'd, green light, popped a driveshaft, Donna shot past
8v can be made to look tidy too!
Oh, why not 
Spec for above Mini. I can assure you, this think ate Cossies, when it eventually came on boost (biggest lag time evaaaaa)

Get it cleaned up just before the summer, much more likely to sell it. It's a nice motor, definitely a standout Corsa from over the years, even if it's not to everyone's taste.

That's my mate Gary's old brocade yellow Corsa (still has his plate on it lol). His brother did a lot of work on it including the re-paint and fitting the XE. Very nice Corsa that.

Tom, tbh it was a long time ago, but some major stories went around. Was insured for £100k or something close, done the show season, then mysteriously caught fire.

It's always good to see the old pics, will be a shame if you let your site disappear.
I remember the Astra cover car that caught fire, at the time it was said to be an insurance job (such a shame danielJ's thread got trashed lol).
The boost corsa was for sale last year. I saw it at max power 2003 with the exhausts and orange wheels, always loved the look of it.
Shame donna's corsa has no use now, always said it was one of my favourite corsas ever.

Then they tried to sell it on eBay for thousands and thousands even though it was a burned out wreck.
