[brainsnova]

[michaelawson]

bought ??

[burgo]

its a 1.4 luxe gsi !!!

no such thing!!!

and what does it matter what other people think, surely your better off modifying it to how you like. fook doing a poll

[michaelawson]

didnt come with the log book, just going on the pdi !

and .. cussed .. not sure what to do i like both !?

[burgo]

so youve bought a car with no log book and no ignition barrel!!!!! well done brain box

[Mike]

how much of a bargain did i pick up ???

Quite possibly a stolen car.....

[Spudly]

If its got no V5 or keys id "bring" it right back to where you BOUGHT it from!

[Pistol Pete]

lol someones bought a pup me thinks....

[novaxe235]

lmao

[jayme taylor]

Theres one born evey minute !

[John]

If its got no V5 or keys id "bring" it right back to where you BOUGHT it from!

If it's got no v5 or keys i'd "take" it back to where you bought it from.

Come on spud! If you're gonna take the pi$$ make sure you're correct.;)

[Sloth]

id speak to stupot89 mate, his has just gone walkies.....

[michael squeak]

does it have a bent door to lmao

[michaelawson]

read the description of the car .. the parts on it are worth more than what i paid, a new logbook ?? yeah thats £25 ??
im sure i have 25 quid spare ? + i have just brought the door barrel for a fiver??

some people just arent readers ...

[burgo]

its not a case of how much it costs to fix its more a case of why its missing in the first place

[Sloth]

the point peeps are making is that it could be nicked as it has no v5 and a bust lock. look at the bigger picture.

[burgo]

ive just re-read it and it had no door lmfao, praps because it was bent to **** whilst being broke into, no ignition barrel because that was ripped out!!! battery dead from the alarm going off!!! no v5 because they didnt stop to ask the owner for it!!!! and the tools!! why would anyone sell a car with there tools in it???

[Novaboi_1991]

mate, email pics to admin@f1pcs.co.uk

an il upload em for you!, or i jus added you on msn, on ^ address, so accept me an send em over :)

[Novaboi_1991]

why would anyone sell a car with there tools in it???

gotta leave the new owner some assurance, and be able to start the car when he re charges the battery, take a flat head with you sir ;) lol

[burgo]

oh and less of the text typing whilst we're at it

[Novaboi_1991]

[burgo]

anybody else wana give me a another essay to write ?when a car is stolen and recovered which i presume you are surgesting then the car is either returned to the owner or is the property of the insurance company

[Sloth]

whats the log number, and crime number, they should be on the screen in yellow.

[Novaboi_1991]

from what i know ( after ringing the bloke) it was stolen ! ..

from that, i assume he means it has been stolen, and recovered/returned back to the owner,

and he purchased it off the owner?

[michaelawson]

im sure everybody thinks this is sooo amusing .. picking on the newbie lmao

.. all i know there is a police auction in there somewhere but i got it off the bloke that had it off the auction .

[burgo]

not picking on you at all just think your insane for even going near it.

[michaelawson]

well keep ur opinions to urself then !? i asked a question at the start

fair enough for explaining everything ya have

what shall i base the mods on ? old or new ? thats all i wanted F****** H***

[Novaboi_1991]

well, if you know whats gone on with the car mate, then screw what we think. lol,

but its like walkin on thin ice when theres all the signs and you didnt at first know the cars history.

us nova owners look out for eachother, wouldnt like to see someone get done for handling a stolen car,

i think this is what everyone is getting at,

[michael squeak]

fail

[Sloth]

ok. so, what do you want? just remember: k.i.s.s keep it simple, stupid!

[MK999]

just remember: k.i.s.s keep it simple, stupid!

Same thing that's always wrong with acting like you have an IQ of 6

[michael squeak]

whats wrong with the text typing ??

the normal every day person does not get it and it takes fooking hours to work out what you mean.

and its plainley in the rules

14. Txt Type. If u txt type u will b asked nicely 2 type properly. If u refuse 2 comply, u will probably b banned innit!

[michaelawson]

LMFAO!!
not one to start throwing insults but can you do it away from a keyboard ?

at MK999

although i shall try to keep it simple for the benefit of other readers .

[MK999]

I never said you had an IQ of 6, I said text typing makes you look like you have an IQ of 6. Touchy much?

[Nobby]

There ya go mate :)

[Novaboi_1991]

btw,

that bonnet needs binning! loool

[Sloth]

bonnet and boot in the nearest skip. rest is good. some 60's and a good clean and detrim and ya laughing.

[michaelawson]

my m8 is crazy abwt the bonnet but i hate it,

what shall i do ? .. flog it .

[Novaboi_1991]

i think the boot can stay so long as he dont go fitting a stupid fibre spoiler, lol,

looks fairly clean tho, check those arches lol

[shed-on-wheels]

bin the bonet mate and i say do a mk1 gte rep

[Sloth]

sell it to ya mate for £2.56 and some pogs and some space raiders. the boot is ok but a bit out out of keeping with "clean and simple" tbh

[Novaboi_1991]

my m8 is crazy abwt the bonnet but i hate it,

what shall i do ? .. flog it .

flog it :eek: bin it mate, its a discrace to nova's lol

[burgo]

my m8 is crazy abwt the bonnet but i hate it,

what shall i do ? .. flog it .if youve been offered money for that bonnet then take it quick

[Sloth]

bin the bonet mate and i say do a mk1 gte rep

why? its a mk2, if he wanted a mk1 he'd have bought one. and it looks better as a mk2. its the wrong colour for a gte, and i'll bet he hasnt got much moolah (no offence meant btw) keep it as a mk2 luxe, and do like i said.
and remember k.i.s.s!:thumb:

[michaelawson]

right there is no need to bring space raiders into this ...

leave it out (laugh out loud)

[Novaboi_1991]

if youve been offered money for that bonnet then take it quick

hahahhhhaah +rep

[brainsnova]

its a pity the boy you bought it of never had the original bonnet and boot then you would be onto a winner.

[brainsnova]

is it a Q reg?

[dj_wudgey]

my m8 is crazy abwt the bonnet but i hate it,

what shall i do ? .. flog it .

id jump on it!! that does not need to plauge another nova again lol

[michaelawson]

its a k reg,

id rather get the cash ;)

[BODGSI]

take the money and run!

was it used to ram raid halfords???

[michaelawson]

haha wouldnt suprise me,

[bowman]

Ah, the mythical 'police auction' lol . If I had quid for every time i heard that and the car/bike turned out to be stolen, i'd been on the ferrari owners forum right now!

stolen vehicles are +ve id'd and returned (to owner or insurance company), if not they are destroyed. Never auctioned......seized vehilces eg. no insurance/abandoned vehicles, are disposed of at the discretion of the recovery/storage agent, either by scrapping, auction or even ebay i've seen, yours could be one of the latter....




I hope it works out for you mate.....If it makes you feel better i bought a nova, no keys, plates or tags, no v5 etc...I applied for the v5 from the chassis number and got a v5 no probs. Bit of a gamble mind....

My advice is dont spend a penny on it until you have a v5 in your name..... good luck with it, looks clean appart from the FG tat!

Is that really bad lacquer peel on the quarter or is it just wet?

[Pistol Pete]

bin the bonet mate and i say do a mk1 gte rep

Its a mk2....

Bonnet, mount it in the bin. Otherwise looks like a clean car.

[michaelawson]

its bad lacquer peel m8, as soon as i have the v5 come through, and done the body work going in for a complete re-spray,

seems like a sensible idea, ( k.i.s.s.)..

amen! spot on dude! people are allways on about different laws, but that just hit the nail on t'head. +rep :thumb:

[robertdevlin69]

im sure it has potential,but remove the bonnet and drive over it!good luck

[michaelawson]

haha will do, picking a new one up in a week ! =)

[draper]

this thread sucks

[mk3-fezza]

what the fcuk is with all the harsh comments if people wanna have a arguement do it somewhere else, bit daring buyin the car without the v5 etc. but i hope it is how you say and not stolen(well previously) and all is well

[Novaboi_1991]

it turned out not to be stolen,

been in touch with micheal alot since he joined.

however, he doesnt actualli own the car anymore, the police lifted it, lol

[pikey1986]

driving with no tax at a guess?

[Sloth]

just driving it with that bonnet.....

[Novaboi_1991]

i doubt he was driving it unless he was rolling, it didnt even run...

police lifted it for no tax thou, but he is appealing as it was in a private carpark in a residential area.
