    Nice one matey. Don't worry about the Corsa not having power steering, if you can't steer a little car like that without assistance, you should really start investigating gym membership. My Mum's Polo has power steering and it takes out all the feel, it's like driving a sponge.

    Congrats! Dont worry, most of us started off without power steering. You get great toned arms from it!
    There's a thin person in every fat person.....that's because they just ate them.

    once you've driven a volvo for 8 months w/o power steering you'll never need to go to the gym again..
