No Demo, they are not Venom's. More like those old TSW multi-spokes.

It's nothing amazing to spend stupid amounts of money on small engines designed for 70 year old women who run them off their pension.

OK, difference of opinions then. No need to go about it like a 10 year old though

Isn't that up to the owner if they want to modify their small engined corsa. I agree it isn't worth it, but it wasn't my car, so im not fussed.

Not saying your car is money down the pan... if you are happy with it then fair play to you, however it takes some head case to spend an awful lot of money on something not worthwhile.

Maybe, but i'd rather spend my money on my car than down the pub, or on jeans that cost £150 etc.

I've got something (imo of course) that im really proud of. Something i can show.

I am not an idiot... I just dont use these forums to a serious extent. I have no problems with someone spending 30k on a corsa or any other car for that matter.

Steve is a terrible bad influence on me.. what can I say
