J plate one? looks a bit rough just now? if so its a guy i know, stays in Kirkcaldy.
Didn't know there were that many around Dunfermline area though!!
Think mine may be one of only a few in glenrothes, only other ones i've seen are a dark blue 3door mk2 driven by an old woman, car sits in Leslie quite a bit. Seen a red one sitting in Woodside a couple of times too, only had a quick glance at it on passing.
Last time i saw the blue one she was driving it with a black bag taped over the front drivers quarter window!

Theres been loads round here over the years, fair few up in scarborough, Andys, staggys, chaz`s LET GSi and at least four others i can think of but dont know names of.
In Hull there is a loon with a GSi lump in it, sloths XE (F668BFK) Haggers SR, my GTE brodies SRi just up the coast a bit, my mates got a 1.2loon, his bros lass has a 1.2 with a GTE to re-shell into it, Joffs Turbo just outside of Hull, there are one or two others or were but not many novas have been seen around here recently, and i cant actually remember the last time i found a nova of any spec at all in a scrappy, not even a more door hatch!
i have no idea lol
2 of mine, and some stock woman shopping nova's.
and a mint early mk1 in china blue from some old guy.
Theres about 8 or 9 round here and i own 4 of them lol
in my village there is mine, and some other kid, thats if he still lives here or not.
