well there seems to be fair few new names appearing in this region just thought id start a little east midlands (offday) thread lol
who are u all? what do u do for living?what do u drive etc etc etc etc
ill start lol im carl 23 yrs old living at home but ive started proceeds to buying a property early next year with some inheritance i got from relative passing away i would spend it on corsa but it would be a total waste so a house it is, im a qualified electro/mechanical engineer working for hi-force hydraulics, i earn a measly 18k a year basic which is enough to mod my car but id like more but who would'nt lol
ive owned my corsa for 6 yrs during this time its seen many changes, some good some bad and in its present state its a 2.0 16v 160+bhp nicely modded car (well in my opinion some may differ lol)
here she is in her glory

i'm Robin, i'm 19 and i've owned my corsa since i was 16, since then its seen 3 sets of wheels, 2 stereos, been stripped and had an 130bhp 1.6 lump thrown in for good measure
plans are to make it lighter and faster, and make some money out of selling my old bits 
and engine shot
3 images are the way forward people....

Hi im nathan "dillon" im 17. I passed my test back in august, since then ive had two cars, my clio which i wrote off not long after passing and i then got my corsa which i've had for about 3 months. I have only bought a system, steering wheel and alloys for my car so far but i have lots of plans for the future including getting suspension sharpish. I'm a fulltime student doing graphic design. Heres what my car looks like so far

I'm Matt, 21. Work as a maintenance fitter at Rolls-Royce in Derby. Had a Corsa 1.4 Sport up untill last week. Had done a few bits to it, colour coded, coilovers, rims, big brakes. Had it 3 yrs and decided it was time for a change so have just bought a VW Golf GTTDI 150. Heres a few pics of my old Corsa and the new Golf.

I'm Ainsley as the user name, i'm 24. I live in Horncastle and work at a garge in nearby Woodhall Spa.
I have had my black corsa 1.4 sport for about 5 years now, its now running a 1.6 engine amongst one or two other changes but i dont have the money or time to devote to it! Would like to get a 2ltr but that has to wait for now!

im Danny W live in Rushden workin @ morrisons for now. Driving a 5 dr 1.4 m Reg corsa standard for now.
obviously was the previous owners fault for the stupid wheel trims  and i have back to blacked the arches and bumpers so looking a bit more tidy, hoping to remove rub strib and colour code mirrors over next couple of weeks and then get some small alloys for it, just depends on insureance etc.
