heavy_t's 1991 Vauxhall Corsa

As you can see this motor is actually a Nova and not a Corsa (the list didnt have a nova??) and has been extensively customised with mods such as the roofrack, wheel trims and even luggage.

This particular model was aimed at people who couldnt afford the luxury of glass rear windows, so they were replaced with metal ones instead. This special feature makes it horrendous to drive on the motorway because you have a huge blindspot where an articulated lorry could possibly be hiding.

This is a very rare car imported from germany a long time ago, with only 104 million miles on the clock, the engine is hardly run in and runs like a bag of shit. The manual choke on this model is especially remarkable as it turns itself on and off at random intervals. As the indicators have been wired through a crappy hazard light switch which fell apart one day as i was going along, there is now no indicators nor hazard lights.

All these features combined with the faded brakes, dodgy gearbox and bald tyres (through years of harcore understeer around roundabouts) it all culminates in a totally unique driving experience.
