Awsome stuff Andy, xe for the mini? () Would be good to see karls car out and about again
Karl's Nova will be sorted and out and about Next year i'm sure. I'm looking at all the options at the moment John, Only problem with an XE or LET is having to extend the front end or have a bulge in the wing and bonnet. Not sure I could cope with a 1275 or 1380 for long. Could go the same way as Rob Delicata did with his Clubman....
Wow that's awesome! (now there's another old school nova name ) I can't quite see what it is in the back, zetec or v-tec? I do have to agree the big block vauxhall lump looks a bit awkward in a mini. The only nice on i've seen is the one with custom bonnet and lots of carbon. Keep us updated Andy!
Yeah Rob used to have a Black K Reg Gsi and a couple of nova's previous to that. It's a Z Car's kit with a Civic Type R vtec engine in the back, been on the rollers at 230 bhp, it is awesome, just ask NickJ he went out in it a couple of months ago after a night out with us in Stoke, came back a bit greener that he was before it went!!
I will update this thread with progress on all the cars in the garage!!!
Robs car is truly fantastic John....... His work ethic/ level of detail on that mini is something else! He took me out whilst I was at andys the other week and It goes like stink. You just need huuuuge ear muffs and some asprin afterwards as its uber loud!
Andy........... I felt soooo ill that morning! How I survived the outing with Rob was beyond me. Everytime your golf went over a speed bump I shuddered Lol! Next time a little less drink for me I think.
Nick.

Is this the same garage that you had years ago? I remember buying a bumper off you and that mr2 was sat behind the house. Fair play to fitting them 3 in there
Car is an absolute stunner, im guessing it's with you for life?
I've had various MR2's behind the house, in the garage and down the side of the garage, but yeah its the same garage, I did have a bit of a panic on when I said I'd buy the Van wondering where they would all fit.
The thought as crossed my mind quite a few times in the past about selling the nova...
Sell it, dont be silly mate. We have these little moments about every 5 years, do I sell it do I keep it.. As you say to me, put it to one side forget about it for abit. Time to have tinker with the new project.
Nick, I really felt for you the morning after (the night out) We have calmed down alot in recent years, good you didnt come out with us about 10 years ago, carnage!
Carnage Nurburgring trip 2012! WIN
Thought i would put these picture of my hubs on here as I found them today and a few people had been asking about the setup on another thread.
Not changed anything on the Nova for a while, just pulled it out the garage a few times a year... May make a few changes to it this year. Not done much with the mini either, but time to get cracking with that too.
