Nova Pilgrimage

[Sola]

Okay, this has probably been done before, and if so, I'd like to know more. I have been considering a drive for charity for a very deserving charity that does a lot of good work.

The drive would be a round trip to the Opel factory in Zaragoza, essentially taking my Nova to its place of construction (birthplace would of been too weird). But rather than going by ferry to Bilbao, I would rather drive through France and onto Spain, with some stop offs en route.

So, my question is this - Has this been done before? If so, please pm me.

Am thinking of doing it next year as 2012 will mark the 30th anniversary of the Nova, well Corsa as it didnt come here till 1983.

I look forward to hearing your views

The PNG of old did a visit to the Zaragoza plant back in about 1998 iirc. It mustve been to celebrate a certain landmark year since production. About 20 cars did the trip. The club managed to get invited in & had full hospitality treatment.

this sounds like a nice idea, and maybe something for our projects to be aimed at . i would love to take my car (once finished) accross europe for a good drive, something i have always fancied for some reason.

I would be very interested too, always something ive wanted to do also!

I'd be well up for that but a) the Nova probably won't be road legal then and b) like fcuk would I want to do nigh on 2000 miles in a Nova.

Can I take the cav? LOL

Only if we can take the engine out and ditch the cav in the car park as a symbolic thing

well to be honest a support vehicle would be an idea...

[joshy]

you cant have a vauxhall as the support vehicle ha ha, then your in the same boat as before joke

you guys will need a pace car let alone a support car
