    Try telling walter rohrl, group b rally legend, that hes too old,
    Can you imagine his grandkids telling their mates, they are going for an afternoon drive with grandad

    Novas are brilliant end of, basic cars that have become rediscovered in price which to me has made them too expensive, parts alone have made them a nightmare so this will only bump up prices... especially of rare ones but even shitty 5 door hatches become desirable

    And there's me thinking I'm old at 52, complete with fading eyesight, rapidly receding hairline, increasing weight... something went wrong somewhere. Still love Novas though.

    I'm 34, now have my 4th Nova and when I'm out driving it I feel like I'm 24 again.

    One of my ex work mates asked if I could should his new girlfriend a "real" Vauxhall, then explained she worked for thurlow nunns (Vauxhall dealers) in fakenham, as a mechanic, to which I replied that she knew how to use a laptop. She has vowed to punch me! Lol.

    We're never to old for Novas, we all either love Novas too much or are drawn back to our teenage/early 20s and just don't want to grow up! I know I don't really want to!
