Just noticed, i have owned my GSi for nearly three years now, but i still own it so thats why its in that list.
I have only really started buying them this year with Will F so thats why we have got through so many.
Before that i have had 3-4 others but cant remember what they were eg: reg and model etc.

1.2 Mk2 Nova Merit H372 DEA - R.I.P to a kerb!
1.4 Mk2 Nova Sr - now converted into a 1660 beast of a motor! vrr00000000m
I've had an astra,then a mk3 cav saloon,then a Cav turbo. due to reliabilty issues with the LET, I bought a run around. C reg black Mk1 SR. I had to drive to North Wales,first week I had it. Couldn't believe how much fun it was. After some mild mods and tweeks I discovered some serious rust issues(ala flintstones lol) So made a descion to buy another one when the MOT/tax ran out. So now I have a half decent nick GTE,which is recieveing a 1.6 16v and a lot of abuse lol.
