depends really dont like it outside anytime of year, but if my dad needs the garage i aint got a choice, been in there probably for a year and we've lived here 2, so its in and out, it rusts in the rain and that, but fades in the summer :( so plenty of polish and stuff in the summer

Vectra will rust inside the garage quicker than a nova will outside.

The red Nova lives outside in all weathers, it's constantly waxed and it's fully Waxoyled and Undersealed so it's not a problem really

The other 2 Nova's live inside though due to them not running (projects) lol

Mine Was Garaged But It Did Have Wet Weather Use And In The Summer Days When It Was Parked Outside It Used To Drip Wax Oil Out Off The Drainage Holes !!!!!

That pic is taken at a SW MIGweb meet in cheddar gorge back in late 2007 iirc.
The mk2 Cav 1.8 Sri (not a 130) was actually sold & has now been bought back by the owner & is undergoing an extensive rebuild with a LET & 6speed.

For anyone that knows of Chip, his Nova was there too.

And another of Grant's XE.

Grants is lovely, is it still going?

My nova lives in/on both. Looks great beading in the rain.

Yeah just something about a freshly wash/waxed car and rain, kinda makes it look even minter.

Glad mines in the garage though as its not able to go anywhere at the moment.
