Well I would've done an oil change today but left my barrel of oil at my mates yesterday so had nothing else to do but attempt to clean.

had them about 5 years now, they're on the list of things to change at some point but windows and boot lid will be first as boot is getting well rusty.

That's crazy. On the road can you actually use that sort of power? Like surely you can't really floor it until your in about 4th or 5th?

gets proper grip maybe mid 4th on normal tyres. doesn't matter so much as can still accelerate wheelspinning a lot quicker than most cars which is possibly hard to understand i guess but yeah. it also does handle reasonably well, so its not to bad to have a laugh in down country roads which is what mostly do with it on the weekends.

I wouldn't be bothered by the occasional odd look if I had a 500+ bhp Corsa  Their look will soon change when they find out what's really going on.

because its quite loud etc people just assume you're gonna drive like a dick every where, which generally i don't unless its a good bit of open road so that kinda annoys me.
the worst thing about that corsa is parking it at shops etc in car parks. I've had it a few times recently, once in the pub couple weeks ago. parked it on its own, came out found people had parked either side. you can't get back into the car unless the door is quite wide open due to the door bars being a pain. and back then i wasn't my olympic weight i am now so was a bit fatter. had to reach through from the boot, let handbrake off and push it until i could get back in. smooth indeed. other than that its an ideal town car.............
