    The Mrs had a red 1.0 MK1 as her first car when I met her 7 years ago.

    We then as you do had other cars including a concourse spec S2 RS Turbo that got nicked and never recovered. I said she was never allowed an RS again so I bought her a Nova with a C16XE in it. We spent 18 months making it road worthy and touch wood its been a good en ever since...... Although we have a baby due end of July sooooo it may have to go as she can't get in the bucket seats at the moment!!!

    i couldnt afford to run my gsi 4x4 daily, and it was not going to pass the MOT without a load of welding, and i had a choice between being able to run it/fix it, or living with my ex...and i told her if i had to get a small daily it HAD to be a nova...hence my dirty 12 door was found down the road for £150.
