Bought a 1.0 12v Corsa today, it's a V plate in Blue, not sure the actual name of the colour, it's not green enough to be arden blue. It's poverty spec, so it doesn't have colour coded bumpers
Took it out for a test drive with the car sales man in it who weighed about 20 stone and my dad in the back... I was actually very impressed with it. It is so much better than the 1.2 8v. Will be great for what I need it for...
It's getting a new coolent temp sensor on Tuesday and I should pick it up on Weds at the latest...

Pix on Tuesday or Weds when I collect it.
I still have the 2.0, but I'm not using it everyday for the moment, I want to make it really smooth and clean, giving it a re-spray and sorting the ICE and interior. Turn it into a real nice show car - though it will not be atrailer queen! Cars were meant to be driven!
Oh, no LET for now Jambo... Maybe in a year or two
