Vauxhall Corsa Sri
Discussion
I'd disagree with the 1.2 comments. The missus has a 1.2 SXi, same shape as yours, its the twinport version if that makes any difference and the engine noise is fine, certainly not tractor like. Must admit I like driving her car, not too clever on the motorway though, 70mph at 4k rpm is noisey!!
I think the headlights look good on your SRi to be honest, they suit it.

If you want rid of the smoked front lights email SMKurt on here.
He's got the normal lights and is looking for some smoked ones.

Since i'm not insurance friendly enough to own a real PH car, i swapped my Astra in at the weekend for a 54 Plate Corsa SRi.
Its not the car that makes you a pistonhead, its your attitude and way of driving.Its only if you stick a load of chavved up Halfauds style tat that you sway from the one true way ....
That corsa is nice and tidy, my stepson is hoping for a Corsa when he finally kills off his first car (Clio 1.2).
Is he looking for the 1.2? I would avoid it to be honest, they are chain driven and sound like tractors! The 1.4 has a belt and isn't that much more on insurance 
I suppose another thing that makes you a PH, is your respect for car's? Ie looking at a E30 BMW and knowing its a brilliant machine rather than an old banger, which i can safely say i do
And he'll have to learn some basics. Like where the oil goes in. Water, tyre pressures. Or to take the aerial off before going through a car wash. Poor lad has made some entertaining mistakes, left the aerial on in the car wash, I had to do an emergency filling job late on a very wet evening. He'd managed to check the oil, but left the dipstick out ..... and getting him to explain the "funny noises" the car was making was giving me a few laughs whilst trying to work out what the feck he'd done.
Definitely agree with respect for cars, and not to dismiss something due to it being older. Unless its from BL and made in the 70s/80s, in which case its likely to be lousy.
Buy a crash damaged and show him the way?And sorry to sound like a young n00b, but well i am one. What is BL? British Layland? That was what first sprung to mind..
Project would be interesting, but it would be virtually just me working on it, he's too loved up with his girl ....

Yup, British Leyland/Austin/Rover/etc. Lots of friends had them when I was back at sixth form 20+ years back. They were rust buckets even back then .... especially with the Blackpool seaside air helping speed up the corrosion. I didn't find one decent Fiat 127 in the whole area when i was starting to drive.

I've just bought a Corsa project with my dad Project would be interesting, but it would be virtually just me working on it, he's too loved up with his girl ....
