Cool story bro..until last night, and of all the cars I've ever got a picture of.. I got caught taking a picture of it biggrin It was in a supermarket car park and the lady saw me taking a pic, she came out of the store asking why I was taking a picture of her car? (I could have lied, but didn't) I said I had never seen this version of one, is it 4wd? (I thought it might be like one of those little Fiat Panda's, and she now thinks I'm a proper dhead) She says she doesn't know. I say ok, I've never seen one like this. She says what it is (I already worked that out as I had read it on the side of it) Then she says so are you deleting the picture? I delete it in front of her (I know I didn't have to as it was in public, but she was not happy at all) and return home lol!
Wow, that's actually very cool! Never seen anything about it before.

As to your story, safe to assume she ran straight home and posted on her local FB group to beware of people targeting Corsas for theft rofl

Please hand in your PH card at the door. That is NOT a Corsa.

This is not a Vauxhall Corsa or an Adam. It is a Viva which I didn't know anything about.

rofl

Yeah I realised after I posted it, even though I read the fking article as well my default was "small Vauxhall = Corsa".

Funny enough I went past a new Corsa last night and couldn't believe the size of it which makes my mistake even worse....

I actually really like these, the arch mouldings and bodykit remind me of a pug 205 gti which i love and the retractable roof reminds me of the webasto roof i had on an original mini clubman 1275gt.

A Vauxhall Adam? What's so special?

At the time Vauxhall were making Adams, Corsas and Vivas weren't they? Like they couldn't decide which small car to build so they built them all.

Adam Rocks sold by the boatload. The Viva is I think a badge engineered Suzuki. Have you lot been in a coma the last 10 years? I said coma not Commer.

Viva is sold as a Chevrolet in other markets and shares very little with the other small Vauxhalls. I've heard they're proving to be quite reliable small and cheap cars.

It replaced the second generation Agila which was a badge engineered Suzuki

Perhaps it should've been called the Vauxhall Sophie?

Lol!! She probably went home and told her boyfriend etc about some weirdo in the car park!

I think they're pretty funky, and look better than the normal ones smile

I've read up as I was curious about them smile They only sold one of these for every fifty five regular Adam's, and one year they sold less than two hundred of them, so it was cancelled due to poor sales.

I've also read that there was an Adam S Rocks version too.

Could only find one of those for sale (£7.5k, not bad?) but quite a few Rocks between £4.5-£7.5k. Basically a 911 Dakar for as much as it'd cost to spec the graphics pack on one smile

Recently started to check some cars for my daughter wedding and found this beauty on hummer limo hire London website. Anyone had that for a special event? Was it worth it? Do you have some other recommendations maybe?

Indeed. If you go somewhere like Vegas all the limos are now stretched SUVs since the death of the large American saloon car.
