[mowgli]

remember, if you start understeering, give it 1/2 turn on the steering wheel, cog it down & floor it, this has served me well for 24 years in novas

You take the time to drop it a cog while understeering? I'd be ****ting bricks while I was going towards a hedge/curb/tree etc with no power through the front wheels! lol

Wikid, do it, could do with replacing the drivers door, your insurance payout/writing off the car would be epic :d Do it please :d

Thats why you have so much power that it instantly picks up in every gear. If it dont then your going to have a much better sounding crash.

fpmsl true matey!!! its helped me a few times lol

[Nova_Tek]

Nice one mate, everyone remembers the first time they drove their first Nova. Just remember the brakes go through a middle man first before they work so don't be braking late will you lol

[mowgli]

my first nova drive was 20mins after passing my test..... in 1986.. and within 5 mins i was belting down a big hill to get it to read a ton........ its been a slippery slope ever since....

[nova1992]

Thanks guy! Yeah im going to have to get used to the breaks, And i doubt i will be hitting a ton within 5 minutes. let alone 5 weeks. lollol

[JordyzNova]

the 1st day i drove my nova was on l plates on the local sanisburys :d

[Rysee]

i got the train to Derby and hadn't been in a nova in years, compared to my standard corsa the lowered nova felt like a coffin on a go kart chassis and i loved it!

Drove home steady then gradually got used to chucking it around rather then a corsa that chucks you around

[Mattman]

within 5 mins i was belting down a big hill to get it to read a ton

That sounds about right :thumb:

until the inevitable happens :eek: :cry:

[Curtoise]

lol i in fact my first nova drive was when i was 16, with my nova on a field practicing clutch lol, those were the days lol, then tescos carparks. then on my 17bday on the roaaaaddd!
if i were you i would sell it now lol as the advert says, once driven forever smitten

pretty sure i remember tyre squeal on my first drive too... so I was doing about 20 round a slight bend on 135's lol

[Nova_Tek]

135's? Mine had the sporiter 145's! lol

[napalm_27]

i remember my first nova drive :) was epic fun
i remember my mate scaring me by telling me to take a round about at about 50 and still leaving the round about at 50 lol (this was a very tight round about lol)

[Mattman]

My first Nova drive was at the ripe old age of 30 when I picked up the Derv from Carlisle and drove it home to Scotland (been a passenger in many though). I think I am trying to relive the youth I never had as everyone my age had Novas and I was stuck in my little bog standard Fiesta then my Orion. Dunno why I missed the boat but caught it at last :thumb:
