Those crazy seth efricens have put a ute bed on a corsa!

For all those guys who think the corsa is too feminine

because the rumble of the v8 uses 3 times the fuel the corsa ute will....

small business.. couriers, etc.. they outsell the Commodore utes by around 800 units a month.

SA's most popular ute.. and they get modded nicely too :)

LOL love the 'seth efricans' the accent is very much like that :D

As for that Corsaminos, I reckon there probably would be some market for that here, come in handy for carting a few pot plants around :D

especially when they would be +- 15k.. compared to 30+ for commonwhores.. and the fuel savings...

Granted V8's are not everybodies cup of tea, but if you ever had/owned a 'good and proper' one you'd be singing a different tune - guaranteed ;)

Miss the V8
Don't miss the fuel bill that goes with it though.
