As we are now into the new year we have got to start thinking about this years shows and cars.

So what cars should we be watching out for? show/track/1/4mile/ect ect
As i suspect we have plenty more turbo owners this year ect ect.

Personally im intrested to see brett warburton run 1/4mile this year.
Think its a amazing car and hopefully problem free runs this year.
And be intrestin to see wot ian comes back with .


As for track and show im not sure. altho i want to see cp's moptor in action.( And hopefully neiks motor if he makes it over this year .

So your thoughts and motors to watch out for this year.

Matt Finary's Flying Machine should raise its head by then... be interesting to see just what that thing is like when it's done.

Well I'm pretty open minded cos I like standard Novas as much as the heavily modded ones but here's the cars that I would pay money to see doing their stuff wherever and whenever in no particular order:
1. Ste's -if he's got a twin engined Nova on NOS then fairplay I'd love to see that! Its about time we had 1 to oggle at
2. Chris T's - seen it at Velos and its a beast. Be really interested to see it up against similar running TB's - a sort of Carbs vs TB's - the truth thing.
3. Ians - well its gonna be fucking fast and pretty radical to look at.
4. MC's foray back into the Nova world with a 1.2 - he says he's got a good idea of how its going to be - I haven't got much idea and I'm doing some of the work lol! but the engine is going to be intriguing.
5. Rick Drapers
6. Dan vs Breeny vs Slim Jim 1.6 Twin 40 "grudge" match up the strip
7. Will B's 1.4 up the strip- well I would include this 1 wouldnt I :roll:
8. Anything new from the Isaachunt stable.
9. Hopefully will get to see Bretts and Luggys etc to see if done anything major for this year.

I'm not expecting to rub up against many Novas out on track but I am looking forward to seeing action on the strip. With a fair few 2.0l turbos around I think the competition for fastest Vaux up the strip will be intense. There's been some banter around the various forums and I think the time to have it out is drawing near :wink:

Quite looking forward to seeing mine finished. AND Rob Fs Astra Turbo! If you don't know it, look out on the PV2003 SantaPod show, it's a killer.

Looking forward to get mine back, been away at RJ sine december now and still another month away till i get it back. Then its away to get the nos fitted :D and then i might actually get to drive it. Its going to be the first car in the uk with marble effect paint on, hope it looks ok.
