Welcome James.  Good to have you, man.

Your car looks pretty new.  What are the other details on it (engine size, top speed, etc.)?

Very nice!

We have a good deal of European posters who will know more about your hatch than us Americans, but it's good to have you posting it anyways.  :ohyeah:

Its on a 58 plate.

It's only the 1.2 16v Club because of my age!

Top speed is about 105
0-60 in 13 secs!

It's very nippy :thumbsup:

What's the fastest you've gone in it?

How long have you had this car?

I'm surprised you haven't asked "how many tickets have you gotten"  :lol:

Too soon for that.  Not until he gives some indication that he's a ticket-prone driver.  :evildude:

Had the car a couple of months now, it was new from the showroom, but not on a 59 plate because that was a little out of my reach!

Ive got 110 out of the bad boy :rockon:

105 is just the official reading from Vauxhall but we all know we can get a little more than what manufactures say :evildude:

For a second i thought he was talking about 110 km/h since he was european. Then I realized that made no sense  :facepalm:

I got pulled over at almost your car's top speed. You need to go faster  :devil:

I got pulled over at 103 mph. Where in the world did you come up with 220 mph  :confused:

If he'd gone that fast, he'd be in even worse trouble than he's already in.  :lockedup:

If you get clocked at 220 mph, your ass is going to jail anyway. You'll probably won't drive again for a long long long long time.

With those two things in mind and the fact that I've read numerous stories of common sports cars (like 350Z's) getting away from cops on the highway doing only like 150 mph, I'd take my chances.

It's okay I follow my own path, I know my Corsa isn't the best car on the road so I'm not trying to prove it is anything special :ohyeah:

hey my first ticket  :evildude:

actually I did pick up that ticket in NY a long while ago. Had it reduced to a non moving violation though - probably why the cop said he was surprised I had a clean record  :lol:

You've gotten in more trouble than just traffic tickets Eddie.  Trouble in school, tearing up fields, failing classes, etc.  It's a pretty impressive record...:lol:
