[GTE TURBZ]

Not keep on MK2's but this is stunning. I'm was in two minds about selling the GTE and have decided if I ever did sell it, i'd only end up buying another one. So if u can, just put it away knowing in the back of your mind that you can pull it out whenever. But if its gone you wont have that feeling. :)

[peter gsi]

keep haveing forts of may be puting her up for sale. as dont like the idea i have to use it every day. may be look for a corsa gsi. corsa c sri. or even fiesta turbo think i gone mad. gone about as far as i can it should be kept locked a way but ant got money to do that. might put it up for top money as you would have hard job finding one like it

[scorge01]

top job looks amazing! what sort of price would it be up for?

[vaughanmc]

Why lock it away mate ? It's there to be driven and turn heads and get folk asking questions about it

Pointless having it hidden away in the garage for no-one to see

[Cle]

very tidy :thumb:

[peter gsi]

cause i want to keep it as good as it is clean with low miles i just worry to much i love driveing it just dont want to use it every day. every one who see it love it im all ways being asked about dose get bit much some time.

[vaughanmc]

Keep it cleaned and polished and waxed etc and it'll be cracking mate

Don't worry about putting miles on it lol That's what's meant to happen to a car

[peter gsi]

cause of how clean it is and there geting rare. only done 80000 miles full histroy every mot and paper work for new have to be beween 2800 .2900

[peter gsi]

Keep it cleaned and polished and waxed etc and it'll be cracking mate

Don't worry about putting miles on it lol That's what's meant to happen to a car
polish 2 times a weak just dont think its fair useing it every day. like pepole keep telling me when say see it. it a classic car not seen one like it for years. think im just bored

[vaughanmc]

Sell it if your bored of it lol

Remember the car doesn't have feelings...They were designed to be used and driven

[peter gsi]

any ideas wat corsa 1.8 sri go like. mite put it on piston heads or good money are more than likely change my mind tomorrow

[vaughanmc]

I've been in an Astra Coupe with the same 1.8 16v engine used in the Corsa SRi and the Coupe went very very well for the size/weight of it so I'm guessing the Corsa will be serious fun :)

Fair play then mate i wouldnt want to wreck it by useing in bad weather either. i am sure one will turn up if you keep looking:thumb:

Is this the one up for £4000?

I'm sure the advert made it out to be origional?

It's had panels and paint?

Lovelly car no disrespect, but for £4000 I'd want an origional in that condition.

[peter gsi]

yea that was the one but not me selling it was last owner she was a really nice one i sold for 2800
