Hi guys, I'm Goon, or Alex.
I'm 18, and in full time education, with 5 offers to study philosophy at university. I live in Shepshed, Leicestershire.

I bought a 55 reg 1.1 black c2 design in december, with 7000miles on the clock, 1 carefull lady owner, for £4300+ £300 for my old car.
I love it, i think its awesome well worth the money I paid.
I do about 400miles a month, and fill the tank once a month, so I do ok fuel economy wise, I drove it to Newcastle and back (370miles in a day), and other than the **** adjusting mechanism for the seat back,(gev me back ache) i still like it.
here it is when i got it (and in februarys snow)

and heres the front bumper, after a ford fiesta reversed into me in the school carpark. what can I say, the other driver was a woman, and not using her mirrors, and i was stationary in a queue, she effectively reversed across the front end of my car. no offence to any female forum members ofcourse: http://s146.photobucket.com/albums/r244/goon1990/Crash%20damage/
it's going to the body shop, tomorrow for a quote...

I'm not planning on modding it, as I can't really afford the insurance premiums as they are.

catcha later,

alex

nah its not serious, no one was hurt etc, and the plastic didnt deform at all, (due to the extreme 3mph speed of the impact :roll: :lol: ). but its still really really annoying :evil:

ill wash n wax it after its all been sorted :)

got bored of looking at the dirty car, so wash and waxed it yesterday, my dad made the mistake of leaving his car on the drive, so i put the c2 in the garage (hes gonna be annoyed) and took a few pics of the car when i noticed the mirror like qualities of the paint..... not bad for a noob :P
