After blowing up my gearbox on Sat the car is finaly getting fixed and I can't wait. The RAC are recovering it to a garage for free. let_nova is selling me a decient F20 box and the mechanic is a mate so it's getting fitted for £80.
I honestly don't know how some of you guys put your Novas off the road for moths/years at a time lol
I think i'm an addict lol need to go to a Nova's Anonomous group lol
Some mate. lol I work on my friends cars for nowt! I suppose if he has a business though. Hmmm. lol
Good news btw! It sucks having your favourite car out of action dosesn't it!

Was going to say, mates do the work for free and you help them so you know what to do next time.

i take mine off the road for months beacause i love it so much it kills me like but it saves my car from all the sh*t on the road!!!
When I'm not driving mine, I'm driving the Celica. So I don't miss it, its nice to be able to go round corners lol

mine has been off the road for 2 weeks and i cant wait to get it back on the road,let_nova is selling me the bits i need aswell lol
mine only gets like 200 miles a yearlol then ill get a fit of boredom, pull it apart, put more dents in it, 99% put it back together, in which state it stays for about 3 months, then ill tax it drive it for a few days during summer, always break down a couple times-of course:p then come october i do the same thing all over againlol ah the joys of it
I cant wait for the day I can afford a decent fast car.
