Guess the weight...

[Mark]

I managed to get the Nova onto a weighbridge today so I have a 'before' figure and I can get on and strip and track prepare the Saloon over the winter and I'll weigh it again when finished and get a TRUE indication of loss.

I have a lovely printed weight slip, so the question is...

How much does it ACTUALLY weigh?
Basic car with spare wheel, jack, brace, carpets, interior etc and 14Inch alloys, no driver (before you cheeky buggers start on that trip...) and approx 15litres fuel (needle was sat dead on the 1/4 line)

Here it is...

lol To be honest, I looked it up on a vehicle stats site a while back and it listed the opel 2-door saloon at 940kgs kerb weight so I figured a few people might have done that too but it just seems we have some clever and knowledgeable people here..

Anyway, crap pic will take another soon but here's the ticket..
