    There was a whole load of fuss at Gurston some years ago about inner wheel arches (especially on Minis), and my Nova got crawled all over by the scrutineers after someone complained about it.

    All was well in the end, but people will always moan if you’re going quick enough to beat them. Human nature I guess, sad though it is.
    To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.

    thousands of Nova (plus other Vauxhall and motorsport parts) available.

    Exactly why I don't wanna race and just stick to trackdays!!

    Ok the thrill isn't quite there but fuck having some cry babies complaining cos I'm faster than them

    On a trackday we get bellends refusing to move out the way cos they don't want the shame of a Nova passing them in their Porsche, but mostly people come up to us and can't believe how quick our "little shit novas are"!!

    Fair play to you guys for sticking at it

    Fair play mate, I guess it’s like an MOT it’s all open to the tester’s interpretation of the rules.

    I know of a few people who have had success in race series and then the rules are changed for the next season to prevent him from competing!!! Sour grapes!!!

    In my series only a handful of cars are built to the book, we are all car guys and we all know what’s right and what’s wrong but nothing really gets said. I think everyone knows that if someone spits their dummy out half of the grid will need disqualifying so we all just get on with it.

    Having said that its not a bad idea to quietly take a good look at the cars who’s drivers are most likely to complain.
