    Well I have bought a car today! It is a pale green vauxhall corsa - it looks in good condition as far as I could tell. As soon as I saw it I kinda knew I wanted it because it was the size, colour and price I wanted. I also said from the beginning that I would like a Corsa, so that sealed the deal! I did a test drive on it and it seemed ok.

    I am just sorting out insurance now - lots of phone calls and trawling round the internet!
