Not A Bike but my track toy :)
 
I know it isn't a bike but thought i would share with you what i have been building for a few years now with a little help from some friends :)

Vauxhall Corsa was a 1.4 16v on a 96P

Now a 2.0 16v i could list a full spec but im sure you would be bored of me :) so i'll just post some pics. Anyone else got a track toy?

when i bought it

the speakers and stereo are coming out :) i had that in for visiting my gf during the bad weather in Inverness :). As for weight i think probably high 800's i think :) and it's not got a bodykit or neons miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin :) so not chavvy ;)

No, got two kids and a mortgage instead. My mum used to let me borrow her Nova though, does that count? All part of the Corsa family...

I owned one of those in Mushy Pea Green....- well the 4 door version anyway, also had a Nova Hatchback in that colour prior to that :)

Mind you I used to spend less on a whole car than I now do on a set of tyres......
