I know 'most' of you will hate it but i must admit, under the FIAT badge lies a quite amazing car...

Sorry to see that Chris :cry: I know you are trying very hard by saying its not that bad a car under the FIAT badge and so


BUT

It has not the same kudos as a corsa m8 :D

So tell me (onestly) why the chance

honestly,

i ower my mum 4k and selling the corsa will mean i get about 1k free... after all bills are paid etc etc..

that mean 1k to spend on my car, which means new bumper, full colour code + some smoothing, morettes, and stripping the engine and re-building and new alloys...

thats why the change..

and trust me when you can beat boxters to 60, the look they give when they get pissed on is.. well lets just say it gives you butterflys in your belly!

a couple of weeks ago i had one of those GT things sitting beside me at the lights...Me, like a fool thought I could at least beat him off the mark for at least 2 seconds....F*ck! was I wrong the thing was quick, when i was hitting second gear he was already 4 car lengths in front of me.

I had a GT Turbo that looked identical to that one. Ended up getting about 200bhp out of it and it really really flew... then I met a lorry one day.... his fault and I spent all of that summer in hospital recovering...

Nice car... but watch out for the lorries... mind you, it did hold out well in the impact so they are pretty safe which is always good...

Was peeved though cos I'd just bought some 17' SuperLeggra's for it :|

That was when i first got it, it came with those alloys already on.... lol

I did have it lowered after about 2 weeks....
Was a nice motor, very funny, especially racing big stuff of the lights, mercs etc and getting in front of them for when the two lanes change to one....
I found that beating them caused road rage....
Could take the fact that they had been beaten by a car that cost £2500
