(i dont want people posting woot trials rules dnt give up)i used to be good but since gf and work and not riding for ages im crap now.see the things are i could buy 2nd hand frame and forks and ride when i could and also do up car, or just do one or the other.thing is im not sure what i want to do and im turning to you guys for help if you could?honeslty its not one of these post give me attention im quitting, in all seriousness im stuck and dnt know what to do.i love riding in summer but a few of my mates quit but im also looking forward to "crusing" in summer if i pass test.

Simon Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 You gave up trials to by a vauxhall corsa, and then modify it? Like every other son and their dog?Dude, if you are going to quit, atleast thing of an origional idea to quit for. As you want to modify a corsa, i'm going to say quit, as you don't deserve to walk the earth, let alone ride trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synergy Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 When I got a proper g/f I sold my bike too, now that we have parted im back riding again as I have much more time on my hands. I allways regretted selling my bike in the first place but I just wasn't riding it enough to justify keeping it.Why not pic up a nice frame and fork for £200 or so and at least you'll have a bike, then whatever money is left over can go into the car. Personally, I wouldn't waste my time changing anything on a corsa, if it was a nice car I could understand,(nice to me is mk1 fiesta, mk2 gold, capri, mini etc) but it's ultimately up to you....that was a good help i understand what you mean. more opinions please guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towler Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hey, well you know my opinion.... if i were you id get the corsa AFTER you pass your test and in the mean while get saving for both. Dont quit trials to drive a car... if you have both bike and car it just means you can ride more and go more places. Save for both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 also i am seriously into my cars.If you was seriously into car's you wouldn't be picking between a saxo and a corsa. Personally, if trials doesn't keep you anymore, i would just not bother. It's more expensive then it's worth if it doesn't interest you properly.And with a corsa or saxo you will need all the spare money you can get the amount they will f**k up.

nmt_oli Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 You will prob get bored of cars quite quickly in some respects, and modding something like a corsa is IMO a waste of money- you will look like a chav and have a slow car that looks hilarious. Now i know there are those show cars that have a lot of effort time and money put into them, and if you really are going to do something like that, and go to all the shows, then fine i would respect you, but if your chosing a cheaper car so you can afford a body kit and a sub to go 'cruzin' with your mates then your an idiot.keep a trials bike, once its there its not too expensive to maintain, and you can come back to it as and when you please. there are lots of us on here who ride and are into our cars!

Synergy Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) thankyou guys, only reason im go ing for a corsa is they cheap 2nd hand and cheap to insure as atm i dont have much money.as for speed the other car on my list is a saxo vtr and its not as if they aint fast 0-60 in 9 seconds. just they expensive atm 2nd hand. i am into modding and i mean serious stuff like my brother ps2 dvd player 4 screens bucket seats engine mods the whole lot, its not a case of 2 speaker an exhaust and a bodykit Edited February 24, 2006 by Synergy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I think you will find saxo's are the shit. Stupid boys on bikes Especially bllue ones, 5 door, back seats down fits a couple of bikes in easy, plus mine has injection.But in all honesty I dont really care for cars that much.

Tony Harrison Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't sympathise with anyone who sells their bike to buy a car. As if driving around in a car all Sunday is ever going to be worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-Stop Junkie Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'd still content that hanging around a McDonalds car park, 'cruizin', and doing up bangers is not being into cars...Anyway: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Don't bother selling up, you'll only regret it. Corsas are shit and Saxos are shitter. Its your first car so it will be shit, regardless, so dont waste your money trying to make it into something its not.Your insurance will be a lot and about 3-4 months of insurance will cover the cost of your bike...so whats the point in selling it? Only sell up if you NEED to to actually OWN a car, not put bits of plastic on it...we all know that those corsas need spoilers, the sheer speed of the car and it would take off.Keep the bike.I'd still content that hanging around a McDonalds car park, 'cruizin', and doing up bangers is not being into cars...Anyway:Exactly. I'd quite happily drive around all day on a Sunday, just for the hell of it, just because I can and it would make a change from having to stop in my own town all the time....but still, doesn't mean I'm into cars, I hate the twats that go any car up, even if it looks 'good' according to max power mag, its a big of SHIT. A tacky cheap car covered in plastic that cost him thousands of pounds...which he could have actually used to by a decent car.Don't be a pillock, keep the corsa standard. No one finds "done' up" cars nice unless they have the mental age of a 12 year old, you'll impress no one accept sluts, retards and retarded sluts.

The enchanted broomstick Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 dont do up a car rather than funding a bike, ok stick a nice stereo in there blatently because it has to be done but i have found that keeping my car standard i can race around town and everywhere and not get caught by cops, its probably a little on the better side of things to be keeping your car a bit more inconspicous from the old bill especially only being able to have 6 points on your license for two years is it ? (not sure there) Preserve your license as long as possible, "your the person that gets the license, your the only person that can take it away"stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmt_oli Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 My van will have a ps2 (or similar) in it when finished, but its also a very cool A-team style van, and the plans for the interior include full leather sofa, limo style, 20inch plus screen, and mini bar! so its slightly differrent lol!i agreee its a bit pointless in a daily driver!

I'm not sure if you are old enough to understand a metaphor. Going by that post you aren't anyway.And er, i'm a web developer? I answered his question, he expanded, and i again responded to what he expanded on. If he expects people to take him serious when he says putting a ps2 in a car is serious modding, he has another thing coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Didn't you know that a PS2 makes your car go faster? In all seriousness, buy a Yaris, it'll never go wrong, cheap to insure, and will last forever. Keep it till your 23, then think of all those thousands of pounds youve saved on insurance and bodykit and breakdown repair that you can then spend on a proper car, like a second hand elise or summat.Ha... did anyone see the Top Gear where the old guys with their bare bones racer raced the modded 306? The 306 didn't just get beaten it got whooped! Was brilliant! Stupid bits of plastic that do arse all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid bits of plastic that do arse all....That's 'cause the idiot weighed it down with a tonne of stuff, then thought a V6 lump would compensate. Er, reality check, far from it, 18 inch chrome wheels to put 200 bhp down? Think not. The chassis was also not designed for that sort of power, nor is front wheel drive. But yeh, going a bit wide of the topic here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
