these are pics that shaun has passed on

will b puttin fresh pics up in next week or so

Can i ask why another corsa? surely u have enough NCB to get a proper car now? how much power is that kicking out?

scoop it is a proper car lol, it aint no 1:10 scale toy ha ha ha

It's about time you beat Lawton! Have fun lol, is this going to be moved to members cars topic soon as its basically your car as of tomorrow... The corsa looks great now a credit to Red20, but who knows what Johns gonna do to it...cant wait lol.

the same reason that u got another escort scoop

i have no reason to move away i know everythin about the corsa an i love them however chavie ppl think they are

i have always been on my mums insurance so i have no ncb's

i duno what bhp it hes to be honest i will have to get it rolling roaded

this car is not gonna b any where near the same as the other corsa it is gonna b subtle an pretty standard

I can't understand why some people buy the same cars.

Change is good. Get something different.

tel ya mate gary that wen he changed from the quicksilver to the gti

its all about what ya know

Well if John likes the car, knows the car and is experienced with that type of car, why change... why bother with the hassle of not knowing or not knowing another car so well, when you can buy a car you know and love...

But you do have a valid point, but its like most Mini owners, they will sell their Mini mainly to increase performance and upgrade etc. John has upgraded from a hi-torque 1.4 to a 1.6 which he says he can feel the difference between the two, and upgrade, sorry for dragging the point! Hopefully no harm done!

John i agree its about what you know.

I have my 1st Jap car and i am having to learn alot FAST (even the wheels studs are bigger than fords )

Scoop i dont want to upset you but WHATS A PROPER CAR???

Keep us posted John matey liked your last car lets see how long you keep this how it is.

keep this page on hold as the deal might b off with the car

awaiting details

deal fallen thro shauns car is abit pourly so weve called the deal off

i really wanted this car too

stil on the search for a 1.6 sport as insurance is spot on and i just love corsas whateva u all think lol

He's a gimp though! We both know that

Theres nothing wrong with the corsa/escort/106 and all the other YOUNG people cars when ur YOUNG. But its when u get to the age me and john are at now when u look into getting a proper car, talking saloons/coupes here with 1.8+ engines.

The reason i got another escort after spanking my first one was because insurance was gonna be a killer on the "proper car" i wanted (volvo)

now however,now ive got NCB again im after a proper car (S13,E36 2.0+,Volvo S40/V70,shit like that) and i just thort john would be doing the same now.

Fair play john u know the corsa well and will only learn more as time goes on and u tfind out about the different engines etc..i know a lot about most model escorts now but i really want to change to something bigger,faster and more complicated,and ideally RightWheelDrive

IS there any other car u'd consider? (do u like veccys/astras?)

a big engine doesnt mean a proper there is not right or wroung its a personal thing

I think that statment sums Modifying up in a nutshell...

Well said matey

u go on about a proper car (S13,E36 2.0+,Volvo S40/V70,shit like that) my old corsa would kill them in from the lights round bends so wot does that make my old 2.0 corsa

you cant get it right with you scoop, when i got my veccy you were trying to take the piss out of me and now your telling john to get a propper car like a veccy??? its a matter of personal choice personaly id stick wiv the corsa if he knows alot about them and the 1.6 is quick too.

just stating my opinion

and in my said opinion small cars are for young people,a veccy may not be my favorite car but i prefer them to corsas (and theyre proper cars)

end of the day, its up to john what he wants to do,it is his car and his choice. just confused by his choice thats all. Its not what i expected. Id expect u lot to be confused if i came on here saying
"im gettin rid of the escort and buying a new car, a mk4 fiesta 1.3"

when i get rid of the escort,ill be getting what is,imo at least,a proper car

take a gander at this

Corsa

Its a darn good job everyone has different opinions.

Can't say i am overly keen on Corsa's myself but it looks a pretty good example of a car.

I dont see a problem with Corsa's at all.

I think some members need to respect others personal choices, likes and dislikes.

Johns corsa is one of the nicest ones i have ever seen, its so individual and personal to John and i take my hat off to him.

I carnt wait until he gets a new one to see what this one becomes

This was Johns corsa in the early days with suttle "Lexus Lights & Alloys" fitted by him.





And as it stands today :







Personally i think he has done a fantastic job.

I only wish we had more members like John, Good luck with the Quest and i hope you get yourself a good deal........

been forsale for months.

John done a fantastic job on the old corsa,and ive no doubt he'll do a fantastic job on this one, i was merely stating that i dont understand his choice. I respect his choice,but i dont understand it, u'd think i was slating him,im not
