Forza2 British GT Championship

Ok guys, i must admit, i am really really bad with big purchases. As soon as i see something i like, i just dont stop going on about it. Today was no different. I saw this car on auto trader;

...so, my parents took me down there to see it. Great car, and i was stunned. And so, after 10/20 mins, we agreed on £2200, and it is now MINE!!!!!

2001
47,000 miles
Not a single scratch/dent
CD player

ohhh, AND ITS MINE

Aren't i one lucky 17 year old

EDIT, pics to follow when i bring this baby home in a few days

Nice well done mate now come and pick me up in February i will be putting down at least 2,500 on the newish shaped vauxhall astra i really like them but yeh marchie now you've got a car you can come to my house so i can beat you up LOL J/K

Cheers

best of luck marchie but you got done on the price.

You would be very surprised Culchi

This car is as good as new, well it looks and drives like it is. I would rather pay over £2000 on a nice car, than £1000 on an ok car

well mayb britain is different price wise but

and i myself got a 1.6 ford focus ghia 2000 75k miles for €3500 from a garage with 6 month warranty full mot.

Has it got a full service history?

TBH, I think it's a decent price for a 2001 car considering it has only done 47,000 miles. 7 years old and done less than 50K? That's alright. My 52 plate 1.6s Leon has done 61,000 miles, and the average a year is what, 12,000?

If your Corsa is tidy, has a FSH, is confirmed at that mileage and has a full MOT and tax, then I think you did okay.

Good job mate, cars....we need em

i dont think it matters too much so long as you get a good life outa it. Oh and make sure that your parents dont get to "christen" it before you.
Well have to setup a track meet either in go karting or on a track day at some course someday now.

Yeah sure, that would be great.

Also, it had its MOT done yesterday, being serviced today and has a few months tax still.

Basically, this guy selling it to me is a multi-millionaire. He has 3 cars, he got his 2 daughters a car each, a car for his house keeper , and is selling one (to me )

.....mega rich or what..... (Oh, and his mansion is amazing )

The funny thing is.....im not even exagerating

hey mate you have got a good car there lad i drive a corsa sxi+ 56 plate n it pulls every time lol n are grate round town usein little petrol which is what you need these days...... small boot espesialy if you have a huge sound system like me but you can still fit ur footie boots n a ball in thats about it lol.....

WOT WOOT! I picked it up earlier today. My mother drove it home, but when we got back, i went for a little spin around the block. Its great fun to drive, and even impressed my dad with my amazing driving

Well, remember i told you it got serviced yesterday, i found out when i picked it up earlier, that the car had over £400 worth of stuff done to it!!! ....and the guy didnt want any money for it!!!!

Me = 1 happy bunny

= Me driving in my car, music at full volume

Nice job
My next car... due to fetch it in acouple of months is a new Corsa VXR
Couldnt resist!!!!

Right then. My mother took me out for a few hours (with me driving) and it went rather well (only speeding a few times ).

After, i spent OVER 4 HOURS cleaning and washing it!!!.......and is still not dont. It was rather fithy

I was happy to continue, but i have had to just come in because of the rain Anyway, i shall get you guys some pics on here tomorrow if it is sunny

I love just getting out and driving. Sometimes, when I finish a backshift at work, I drive past my front door and head out on to the bypass at Prestwick Airport. I bomb it up to Monkton, a wee village the other side of the runway, calm down and take it easy through the village, then rejoin the bypass and head home. Takes about ten minutes, but it's quite exhilirating and I really need it after a 10-hour shift.
