You're too young and new to the site to understand Mr.Wisewood :p

[wisewood]

2100+ posts = too new and young to the site... LMFAO!!!

I know what it means slimjim mate - i remember it from when i first signed up... just saying thats all... coz there are loads of new users who might know what the hell it means.

My irony was lost in there somewhere... never mind.

[Jim]

just cos you've posted over 2000 posts doesn't mean you've been on the site for years.

I knew you'd react like that :p

Jim

[wisewood]

01 Jun 2001 - that's when i joined...
might no be one of the old school members... but definately long enough ago to remember what we are talking about - so less of your lip young man :D

[Jim]

Young man...LOL

I'm old enough to reply to the over 25year old's post...hang on...that's not actually a good thing - Do'h!

I remember the days...when I was a lad we didn't have computers...carrier pigeons and chalk & slate is what we used. None of this "windows" malarky :P

Jim

[wisewood]

Just because you joined in 1979... before i was even born :D

[Jim]

That's right, I've beena member since I was 2 years old...now thats commitment :p

Jim

P.S. Wisewood, do you think people are getting pi55ed off with us because we change the subject of the post to our own little conversation? LOL :oops:

[wisewood]

I dunno mate - probably... I would be.

We need to be careful anyway, this is how rumours started about me & Tilly... and we REALLY don't want that. :D

Anyway...

N' Reg Nova...

[Nova-Flair]

was there ever a nova montana made????

[Anonymous]

it is posiable that it is an n reg it might have been one of the few left

the reg goes on when it was registered

[wisewood]

yeah but tehre are very few L plate ones because they launched the Corsa in the place of the Nova (which was stupid) - so how could one make it through as an N plate, two years after the corsa was launched?

Vauxhall dealers simply wouldn't be able to get you one and sell it to you by the time it got to 1995/6.

[wisewood]

check out novabug.co.uk and see if rich dale has anything about it from his vast collection of nova literature.

[Tilly]

Woody that barny was better than r's :(

[wisewood]

Well you need to try and push the right buttons and get me all fired up again then we can have a nice big row can't we Tilly. :twisted:

You could call me names, insult my family, my friends, my car(s), but i know my cars are horrible!...
Just think of something and see if it works :wisewood:

I think he means M reg not N reg !!!!

I heard theres a vauxhall storage depooit in spain somewhere with hundreds of 1ltr novas in it - never used - just sitting there!

:o

Ideal project shells!

Damn waste if u ask me!

[Nova-Flair]

sweet! imagine an '02 reg nova! new just 9 yrs after the last one was made :lol: so if there is a stockpile would vaux not b able to sell them even if the demand was there?

[carltoncrazy]

if there in spain there be MINT,
there not all 1.0 from wot ive heard either,i heard boutSR/SRI being there,
think we need sum research done.
kx52 nova??????????yep im up 4 it,
also the car trade is so shit at the moment they would see em
COME ON VAUXHALL HAND EM OVER YA STINGY GUYS IN SUITS

[Chris LR]

SR52 BYE, has quite a nice ring to it.

PO04 YOU
PI55 OFF

I'm not thinking of the New Nova by the way!!

But what would you do with a new Nova? Leave it standard or something special????

[carltoncrazy]

gd point coz there b classics.
by 2
one standard
1 witha 20 16 turbo

[Nova-Flair]

but there would b quite a demand for them if tight vauxhall were to sell them. i say someone sends a threatening e-mail :wink: to get that stockpile sold off at dirt cheap prices. put me down for an SRI :D

[Chris LR]

Just sent the e-mail, but I'm started with a 'nice one' then workign my way up to threatening.

I asked if the story of the un-built Nova's is true and if not whats the cost of building a Nova today from their parts dept.

[Ric 16v]

I'll take a SRi/GSi :D :D :D :D

[Rick Draper]

How the fuck are you going to build a whole nova from the vauxhall parts department? I am sure they carry whole chassis and other metal bits to make a shell! Rick

[carltoncrazy]

hang on listen rick,
the cars r complete from wot ive heard,
so wtf all this bout parts dep#???????????

[cassanova]

theres some1 up near cardiff that sells brand new austin maestros, up until a couple of years ago anyway, they were funny to see on the road, P plated maestro lol. I think he was building them too.

There you go that is where it came from. Its all bollocks there is no field full of novas in spain and even if there was they cud not sell them as they would not pass the strick new crash and emmisions laws. Rick

[carltoncrazy]

oh ok rick my oplogise,
but they r built,
and sorry rick ur rong they would pass EU standards,
because they have been produced and sold with the last 10 years,
all vauxhall would do is sell them and say"we lost them"or sumfing
the usal shitty vauxhall excuse,
come on chris ne replys?

[Chris LR]

Vauxhall left a msg on ansa phone, The guy apparently spoke to his collegues and doesn't know what I'm talking about, he's never heard the story and has never known Novas to be sold in Kit-form. He was pleased that I enjoyed the Vauxhall Nova and invited me to test drive a Corsa. (like they'd trust me after scratching one of their Vectras)

I've been thinking, whats in it for Vauxhall? Why have 10 year old cars competing directly against their new Corsa? It's not exactly the image they want!! Does anyone know where the story came from?

I think they probably donated them to Colleges etc, ours has been given a 90 BMW 5 series with 6000 miles and a 97 leccy 106, 98 Vectra and 99 Pug 206 LHD.

[carltoncrazy]

cough*wankers*cough,
chris i aint being nasty but they aint in kit form there complete,
+vauxhall giving somefing 4 free????/neva heard that b4!!!!giving to a college????

[Chris LR]

They donated a 99 Vectra sxi to our college, it was a showroom model and it's got crap paintwork.

[carltoncrazy]

NOTE TO VAUXHALL
IF YOU HAVE ANY SPARE VAUXHALL OMEGA ELITES YOU WANT TO "DONATE",then my skol of backseat pleasure requier a new test area.
thx u for your time

[MattyWoo]

LMAO Nice!!!! :lol:

[Nova-Flair]

even if this field full of novas did exist i shud think they would be well fooked now 10 yrs without being run or n e thing?????? ummmm seizeage and if vaux are listening they can donate me a bloody corsa SRI sharpish. tight arses!...........ooooo they r gonna see me coming next time i go to the parts dept :lol:
"could you tell me the price of a nova GSI front bumper please without carriage bar please?"

"tight arses eh???? that will be ?500 ex vat sonny!!! and by vauxhalls terms and conditions you have entered a legally binding contract that requires you to buy the aforementioned product within 28 days......have a nice day sir" :evil:

[Chris LR]

Vauxhall only donate cars to make themselves look good, the college had to sign a document which means the car will never go on the road.

[carltoncrazy]

yeh so il only b shaggin in da omega not driving it.
so il sighn

[Nova-Flair]

didnt think they would give n e thing away tight arsed bastards. im down for a vaux shag mobile tho give me a movano lovevan with the rotating heart shaped bed as my optional extra :D

[Chris LR]

Vauxhall once gave me a large SR sticker for the price of a small one!!! only becasue they fcuked up my order

[SharonSR]

Isnt there a thing when rebuiding a car from other main components, the guidelines state that the age of the majority of the components of the car determine the overall age?
So if this Nova has the interior, engine, running gear and suspension, etc, from a N plate Corsa, you could then register it as a N reg Nova?

[carltoncrazy]

i know what ya getting at,its like kit cars,
hence why mines regesterd ku02
but no,its the chssis/VIN number they work on

[Chris LR]

I've had a quick look on the dvla

1. Vehicles using new/used parts get a Q plate.

2. If a car is radiaclly altered you get a Q plate.

3. If all parts are supplied new you can get a current plate.

I haven't had time to read it all to find out if it's any good so it's here

http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/regrebil.htm

I'd still like to know where the story started, anyone?

[carltoncrazy]

hangf on kit car got 2 enignes 1 99 one 2000.
who spots the problem in chris post
"1. Vehicles using new/used parts get a Q plate"
note the word NEW
". If all parts are supplied new you can get a current plate"
ne 1 else spot the problem
soz chris ya rong,
i no gezza with a 1989 seriea gerab box axle engine in his kit car and thats got a new plate
BURN

[Chris LR]

You'd have to use the corsa platform to get an N plate


If all the nova parts were of the same age you'd get a plate with that age in mind, eg F plate

If you used lots of different parts that are different ages you'd get a Q plate, or so i understand.

Anyways, I've found an ad for a 1994 GM Nova 1.6

http://yahoo.carsales.com.au/pls/yacarsales/!ya_content.pv_vehicle_display

I thinks it's the closest well ever get

[CP]

According to the ads section in this months Total Vaux, someone is flogging a 93 L plate "one of only 2 in existence". If its true wouldn't that kinda rule out out true N platers?

[wisewood]

There must be some way we can find out what date the very last nova was registered.

[MattyWoo]

Isn't there some way you can contact vauxhall and ask them.

[wisewood]

sales@vauxhall.co.uk maybe? lol

[Sid]

it was David P looking in his dodgy newspaper ads that started this rumour. lmao
and its kept u all busy for hours... :roll:

[MattyWoo]

I've solved the problem, i got a call today from a very pleasant lady from Vauxhall, after i'd e-mailed askin about this.
She said the last Nova was indeed registered on an N plate there were 7 Novas on an N the last one was in the December.

[wisewood]

I want one.
I need one.
Thats great.
