yeh v6 burble hmm :)
yeh it will be used most days with exceptions of when im using my nova

[NovaLad]

Get a diesel so you're not spending sh1t loads on fuel which then frees up more money for the nova.

[Jim Mcrae]

Id have a mini.

[CoolTiger]

GT polo? mk2.?

What size engine?
would prefur 1.6+

12v corsa b
temptinglol

[mowgli]

capris are bigger rotboxes than novas, they could lose the 4rse end when parked up, and you would not afford 15mpg, oh, and they don't like unleaded

manta is way better, but the ascona & mk1 cav are the same underneath, but cheaper

[CoolTiger]

novalad no more money is getting spent on the nova after next week lol,

jim, id just look silly in one im quite big lol

[John]

nope. the ascona & mk1 cavalier were the same shell, different nose.. the manta b was actually derived from the mk1 cavalier coupe & sportshatch.

the chevette & kadett were the same shell

[L14MNP]

lol @ this daft thread. RWD 2.8I Capri?! Didn't you wrap a 1200 FWD Nova? lol
As said, MPG on stuff like that is sh!t. Plus that particular car isn't even powerful for the engine size. Insurance will rape you IMO.

Also what's with you always putting the £ sign after a numerical figure?
Crazy kids!

i have to admit that jack is onto something there.. with a decent v6 fitted, a dolly would be ace, but they rot faster than nearly everything else.
