Some of you may know that I currently own this -
Now, I've very recently got a new job (also kept my other job, 2 nights a week) which leads to more disposable income a week. Bearing in mind i've just got a mortgage, so i'll be moving out in a few weeks...
But i've been thinking about getting a CTR EP3, but now i'm thinking about wacking a let in my Corsa and having a daily run around providing my nan lets me keep my Corsa in her garage (which is where it is atm) and using it for weekends/shows etc.
The shell on the Corsa is absolutely mint, it really is, and it's low mileage. The paintwork is in brilliant condition, so overall it's mint. And because it'll stay in a garge and I can do a slow build on it and really make sure it's done right.
What do u guys think?

I'd keep it, if you having a boring/cheap to run daily, Otherwise your drive the daily, get into the corsa and think its just boring and not as fun as it should be.
Would be mint even with a tuned 1.6.

You might be able to get a really cheap policy, funk all miles a year etc, You might be able to get a insurance company to mirror your ncb for the first year and then build it up on that policy, Will be nice having two lots of NCB.

Yes mate 12 month policy, guaranteed value, the otha car is company insurance so I only have 1 private policy, I'd see about insuring it for 6 months and say 3k a year if I were u, might work out cheaper I dunno
