A Minor Rant

[Paul16v]

This is clearly aimed at me....

The leather interior and the wheels? How are they the best parts? They are the only bits I'm selling and only because my new wheels and new interior are BETTER.

The new wheels are 15" so should make the car quicker acceleration and i can run some 185/45/15" tyres from Germany for a slight stretch.

I'm just shy of 6foot tall but I only have short legs (30" inside leg) and I can't get comfy in the nova with current interior.

So you would prefer for me to leave the car as it was?

Would you have preferred it if I'd left the engine bay scruffy with wiring everywhere?? What if I left the front grille hanging off like it was????

What about the RUST? should I have left that?

Perhaps I should decorate my house in a style you would like? Maybe you can pick my clothes? Because not everyone likes the same.

I love my car, but the wheels and interior don't make it the great car it is....

IF it was aimed at you the previous owner took out one of the cars best part imo the engine!

does that mean when your crawling around the floor you look like a sausage dog

(sorry couldnt resist)

Err, not quite!!!!!

It's no fun buying clothes though. I wear a 34 waist jean/trouser with a 30" leg (Don't exist! Have to have every pair altered!)

Ben took out the engine because it was dead. It was re-built and fitted to a Caterham.

It wasnt nec aimed at you, but thanks for joining in!

So what attracted you to that particular Nova? Colour?

I dont know the car, so am not getting on a tall horse about it, I just am trying to understand the motivation.....

The wheels imo, were what really set it off, and looked good against the green.... as far as I can see its a green XE Nova... please educate me.

A car is only worth as much as what someone will pay for it and I believe there are quite a few people (myself included) who would happy spend 4, 5, 6, 7K on a Nova. If you can justify spending the money...... Why Not

[SRlew]

yer my brother spent about 3k on my car (when it was his obviously) and iv got receipts for bout 5k

[Nick]

its just a vauxhall fiesta and they are most definatley not going up in value (bar the few tasty concours xr2's)

Cha-ching !


:-D

[draper]

i would spend big money for a MINT nova, if i had it........although im gonna have a damm good go at building 1 as im fed up of having sh**ters !
