    Default When was the last time you seen a Nova on the road??

    Just out of interest...

    I've done over 12,000 miles over the past 6 months as part of my job and I can honestly say it's been over 3 months since I've seen a Nova (driving) on the road

    It's probably 6 months+ since I've seen a modified Nova cruising the streets.

    Go back 4-6 years ago and we were tripping over them, I guess stiffer MOT regulations, the price of fuel, and the affordability of more modern hatchbacks is making the Nova an inefficient means of getting from a-b

    I drive mine daily, and have done about 8-9k this year.
    Last time i saw another modded example was a few months ago.

    I see a couple of different standard examples piloted by old dears every now and again, locally to me and then today I was passed by a young chap in a mistral grey gsi on black rims who looked more than happy for me to chase him

    I see about 2 a week, but most are 5doors in a right state.
    But there is one ultra mint silver K reg gsi that drives around the town i keep seeing.

    And mines driven everyday..
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
