Just got courtesy car

[Dodson]

My car is in bodyshop at the min, and i got a nice 55 plate corsa 1.2 as a courtesy car!

think they taking mick out of me cos its bloody blue with black steelies!!

 

[LiCkWiD]

Hahaha. Corsa! "Put the fun back into driving." Make sure you shave pounds of metal off that gear-box

 

[Dodson]

its got quarter of a tank in it...will last ages compared to the same amount in Leon!!

there is nothing like a hire/loan car

 

[dan__smith]

So, whats your plans for it first? Race some other corsa drivers? Bring the clutch up a bit too early while changing gear? Race it hard on a nice cold morning?

 

[Dodson]

Na....just treat it with respect, ive missed washing my Leon so it will be getting a good wash over the weekend!

Sad.....i no!!!

Although it will be nice turning it straight off after the drive home!

 

[dan__smith]

Not sad really...Mines is a filthy state so will be spending a while giving it a good clean!

 

[LiCkWiD]

I love hire cars

I've a cousin in America that rents Mustangs for long weekends for... "business" trips, and puts them under his dads' comanpies account. (He pays for the car-hire.. not hia dad)

And then he just rags their nuts off for 3 days and returns them

Great fun!

I'll give you a race!

You in your Corsa 1.2 courtesy car
Me in my Renault Megane Scenic 1.6 courtesy car

 

[Dodson]

mine surely must have the power to weight ratio....

gonna go chat with the corsa boys for a week on there forum....







































or not!!!!!!!!

 

[RobM]

But I'd be off the mark quicker... since I have no key to turn, no handbrake to take off and no lights to fiddle with... it's all automatically done for me in this beast, so while you're fiddling getting things going, I'd be off!

 

[LiCkWiD]

Hhaha, Dodson. Go signup on the official Corsa Owners Club, (I assume there is one..) and tell stories of how you've stripped the gears of your new pride and joy

 

[Dodson]

Haha. That would be quite fun!

Yes i would soon catch that scenic up though as you will be constantly getting flagged down from people thinking your a taxi!

Just wait till you get back in Leon and go to drive off and expect everything to be done already!

The last courtesy car I had was a SEAT Altea. Not too bad as it goes.
