Corsa Merit 1.5d

No money wasted on "Boss Modz", heap is heap.

(Picture not representative, Merit had black bumpers and no wheel trims)

probably, but "we" also "discuss" coilovers/M3's/alloys/colour-coding and insurance several times a week
 
  S4, Tamora, Conti GT
Nissan Micra 1.0 Reg 1994, damn slow and boring to drive, but was hugely reliable, wouldn't let me down.
 
  Listerine & Poledo
oh yeah, Corsa did 50mpg, at any speed it managed to acheive.

also worked well as a faux-roader. Perfect for juvenile runs across fenland field and drove.

A month ago it was my "everything," now it's just another catagory c statistic. Hate how the car will always get a portion of the blame ("ohhhh young driver can't handle a fast car") I'd have made the same wrong decision in a 1.2 or a Veyron. Never figured my second car would be a downgrade from the first...

This was meant to be shared between me and my mum. But I paid for most of it and used it all the time and she had her own car so always considered it mine.

full throttle lolz.

did you have to pay to have it taken away?

nah, i broke it for parts after it broken down on me one night with box issues,
got £130 for the shell, engine, subframe, rear beam and pannels.

I think the only mod I did to the Corsa was to put a cig burn in the roof lining.

even then I knew... "wow, you can really waste money on these things".

Certainly left me in a better position when I warped the cylinder head and blew 2 injectors. Damn that was expensive. Still, had the cash after not spending it on lowz etc.

:)
 
I had a Mk3 Fiesta 1.4 Ghia. It had a factory fitted RS body kit.

I loved that car, for the entire month I had it, then a woman ran into the back of me when she didn't bother stopping at a set of traffic lights, and I had.

2000 0.8 Daewoo matiz se+. It was my dads he bought it to go to work as he had a longer commute in a new job. He ticked every extra for a laugh. It even had a fire extinguisher in the passenger footwell. Probably a good thing after autocar gave it 0 stars for stability issues. I never had a problem with it fortunately and ragged it everywhere regularly hitting the limiter in 5th when going down any of the long dual carriageway hills by me. Not pround of my early driving antics or what i did to that poor little car over 2 years but fair play it took it all!! Apart from knackered front discs and pads (Hardly the cars fault with the way i drove it) i never had a problem with it.

Just remembered it had air con as well! You can imagine the effect that had on a little 800cc engine.
