Vauxhall Corsa 2011 3 door. Wanted to get a Clio but certain things stopped me with the way I make money.

Does your indicator toggle from left to right really sensitively? Like there's no middle position for 'off' or something, you have to give it a light press?

Sorry it seems like the silliest thing, it's just that a Corsa was my driving instructor's car and that really peeved me off when I was learning. Espically when coming off a roundabout when i was still all over the place with everything else and my signalling looked like a seizure :lol:

Nah what pisses me off is that if I only lightly press it the lights only flash about twice and go off.

Dont drive anything, but do have a license and am an awesome driver. Used to be into my cars as well, from body kits, spoilers, then got seriously into modding, starting off with electricals, then under the hood. Think the majority of my student grants went on upgrades to my shitty 1.8 engine, filters, turbo..... oh i am so glad i got out of that phase (no offence to anyone). Basically i put so much money into my original car, and when it got stolen and gutted, it made me realise in 1 split second how much bullshit it is to have all that money, passion and time to be invested in something that can be rolled away in less than 5 minutes flat when your sound alsleep, and literally be gutted. Its the closest ive felt to rape, and still remember it to this day, with my dad standing with me beside the "wreck" at 5 am with the cops in the rain. :no:

Anyways, i would only ever drive German or Japanese cars. Nothing else. Dont get me started on French electrics.......

That's horrible man, I really feel for you. It's just like anything that's your property. But something you worked so hard on too.... :sad:

Not to side-step the topic here, but why is it that people who drive for a living are usually the worst fucking drivers on the road? Taxis, buses, delivery drivers.....Arriva buses espicially. I saw one side-swipe a car on the high street once and drive on like nothing happened!

A bus driver cost me passing my first test, which in its essence cost me approx another £300 in lessons, resits, and hiring of the car.

Wow that's pretty horrible.
If it happened to me, lord knows I probably wouldn't invest too much into a car again either.

I couldn't have a car if I wanted one. There's nowhere to park it round here, I don't think this street was designed with cars in mind
