They are rare on the roads now. You can go on a long run using motorways etc & see none. Not that the motorway was ever the Novas environment.

It makes owning one all the more better.

I see a blue saloon most days driving the opposite way on the way to work but thats about it, just a shame its a saloon.

There are a few of us round here with them but they very rarely seem to venture out except mine!!

I know where there is a rotten to hell mk2 life sat falling apart in someones front garden.

But, not as bad as passing a J-reg carlton GSi 3000 everyday, sat covered in muck and moss rotting away in a front garden a few doors down from my work had full leather and all the electrics and it got flooded last year aswell, and yet everyone who knocked and offered cash was told no were not selling, its gone now, probably to scrap poor thing but was there and never moved in over eight years!

thats one of the reasons i love them, exept for about 3 months ago when i decided to take my little luxe out for a spin for the first time in 6 months and came across three in the same night, novas are getting more popular round my way now again, and to be fair they aint covered in stupid jap kits either,

there a few round here sat in gardens that people wont sell, god knows why they never get used, theres a dark grey gsi with a massive intercooler and no front bumper/grille sat in a garden next door to my gf's dads house, i noticed it about 9 months ago so god knows how long its been there but it never moves and they wont sell it what a waste

i hate seeing novas in peoples front gardens sitting there rotting for years yet they dont want to part with them!! A green 1 near me like that... asked them nearly 2 years ago if they was selling but nope and it still there covered in moss and cr4p.

Got nice set of slabs on it colour coded bumpers, GSi skirts etc...

Mite pop up again soon see what they say.

i agree, i went from bridlington to morecombe and back i think i did about 500 miles about 7hrs driving, road and motorways and i never sor another nova apart from mine that i was in, i was gutted but at same time happy lol

Thats kind of a good thing cos theyre shaking off the chav boy racer image, the ones that are left most of them are owned by old ladies or enthusiasts that are not going to wreck them by glueing big spoilers and stuff on them, I took my luxe out the other week and a few people flashed at me. never had tat before in a nova, used to get it all the time in my old mini but never a nova
