    Quite an interesting read this thread, some of the replies I mean.

    If you ask me though, life's to short so enjoy the fruits of your labour and then move on.

    For me, longest owned was only about 2years I think. Been Nova free for nearly 5 years & certainly never looked back if Im honest.

    EDIT: And with the continuing dropping prices of modern day used performance cars (RS4's, 911T's, M5's) I doubt Id ever go back aswell

    We'll all sell eventually and move on.... I've heard quite a few people mention selling their novas over the past year that would surprise you! For many their fun whilst being built but afterwards hardly used and more an ornament than anything else.

    I relate a lot to that sentiment but sometimes not having the ornament is hard too

    This is exactly how I feel. I had my car 12 years but wish I'd realised what I know now a bit sooner.

    Ive been their and having no toy at all is tough however when I sell my projects I always replace them with something else next time round though I doubt it will be another nova. I guess if you buy anything old and want to keep it in good order your limited to the times of year you can use it as they perish so quickly. If I got offered what mine stands me at I'd sell tommorow!

    Yea I try not to think about things like that

    I suppose its each to there own really, fair play to yourself (12 years) and other etc just not my cuppa tea. Theres a lot of performance cars out there I would have like to have owned before I retire/die. So moving on was a must for me really.
