Has anyone ever heard of one? Yes its a car....

Driving to work this morning approaching Brinsworth in Rotherham i ended up at the back of one, it was in red but looked pink cos its never seen wax in its whole life time! Its Vauxhall Corsa B shell but with a soft top roof, from the T bar to the back... it looked homemade TBH but was on an R Reg so must be factory fitted assembly otherwise it would have been on a Q plate i think! it had big bor hanging out of arse end on an angle it looked fuckin shocking TBH, weetabix for wheels... wish i took a pic now, i'll try and get 1 tomorro! the badge was like a bird with a bolt of lightening going through it, its the first corsa B soft top i've ever seen, but obviously not stamped up as a vauxhall...

Its full name was "Holden Borden Cabria" ( wank piece of shite in other words)

another car i keep seeing too is a fiesta mk4 shell but with mazda badges on it! odd....

Holden = Australia
Vauxhall = UK
Opel = Europe

Vauxhall were gonna bring the convertible Corsa out, but there wasn't enough interest in it, so it never came over here unless it was an Import.
