well tonite if you read jays progress blog you will of seen that he popped round tonite, so while i was waiting for him to come round i warmed the car up then we went to get some petrol in it and popped to a quite road (dead end but island each side). since its my car i thought it would be rude not to have a drive and see how fast an xe corsa really is.
