Ianb Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I'd be interested to know the integrity of those boxes... surely they're not designed for potentially 80-90mph winds sideways? (or maybe they are?!? Saying that, could be talking about 100mph+ given a 30mph headwind and a 70+mph speed.... iirc those boxes more often than not tend to open sideways (it looks from the picture that it'll open at the rear of the car)... so surely by placing it that way around and adding the fact it is raised up again by extra bars - putting stuff in it might require a blooming ladder! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine it bursting open with loads of DutchGold cans flying out everywhere 😀 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ianb Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Not moronic enough to pick up a corsa.... so I'd cut them a little slack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jace1969 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This is a weird thing with my old corsa,handed it in against my fiesta 2 years ago but when i check the reg of the corsa on sites like for insurance/mot etc it never shows up,i know the car was on there for a good 6 months before it went but ok its a corsa but i looked after it like FSH and 28k,09 plate. I dread to think if someone put a private reg on it but as soon as it was not there i checked it up and nothing. So as the header says ''Spot the poor vauxhall'' i wish i could. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 It's probably on its roof in a ditch that's where they normally end up See my parts for sale on thread "philf1s Spirit Blue Fiesta ST180 parts for sale" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jace1969 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Its weird because as soon as it was gone i checked it up for a few months and nothing. Be good if all corsa's could just ''PUFF'' and gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Funny story to a new corsa or Adam last night on the motorway. So busy was he trying to 'win' against me, I was even racing him before you tell me off, my car was just obviously challenging his masculinity. anyway so busy was he trying to get in front he managed 70+ for the specs average speed camera (50 zone) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hywelkidd Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I was browsing Roast my Car on Car Throttle this morning and came across a limited edition Corsa post on there. Easily one of the best roasts I've seen on there in quite a while. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexBartlam Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 is there any bog standard corsa's anymore seems like its limited edition or nothing, and the world needs corsa's if there was non they would migrate into fiestas and focus's and we do not want that, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Another prime example of a Vauxhall getting taken out of the motor pool. If the driver had been going any faster then they would have been taken out of the gene pool as well. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/14791962.Fury_at_A1_gridlock_as_motorists_describe_diversions_as__complete_shambles_/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what is more surprising, that somebody would be idiotic enough to do that, or that the Corsa had enough power to get that high... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
