View Full Version : Sad lonely Nova
I have driven past this car a fair few times over the last few months and I have never seen it move, just more weeds growing up around it. Is it wrong that I feel sorry for the likkle banana and want to go save it?? lol
pic to follow...
I would say faded banana. :)
Deffo looks Jamaica to me.

Save it! Unless a nova is stood still because its in bits and being fixed up (yeah thats my constant excuse), then it should be loved and driven!
I think I shall go and take a drive past and see if there is a friendly farmer's wife nearby that I can talk to. I might be doing them a favour by taking it off their land. lol
Oh lordy, don't encourage her lol
Oh lordy, don't encourage her lol
pah!, you know you would love me to have one. and like you said, if it was anything other than your own car, you might actually do some decent work on it.

lol Ouch..
Someone check that shed for kevs body!
Go burn it
Or just take it.
Needs investigation...
Agreed, Crack on Hayley :)
Oh lordy, don't encourage her lol
whats the worst she could do???? paint it a pastel colour & stick a big engine in it??
I did consider donating my V6 when I'm done with it.
TBH I think if she did get it, then it would either stick with the standard engine - unless its a 1200 or less - or XE at tops to keep it usable as a daily hack (i.e. relatively fuel efficient).
The only problem we'd have is where to store it - we're having a hard enough time finding places to rent that have enough space for three cars, let alone four. She doesn't have access to the garage in her house as the landlord uses it once in a blue moon, and to keep it out on the road she'd need a parking permit (£60 a year, so no big deal really), insurance, tax, MOT, and then there's the risk of theft or damage if its sat there almost 24/7.
Did consider a rented garage somewhere, but then you get into the issues of insurance as its stored miles away, plus the cost etc. Things start getting expensive.
Mind you, she could sell her Colt for >£6k and plough that into a nice tidy V6 build :d

yeas she could... but she wont.
She will prob look into a local lock up garage so she can stick the car somewhere and do it up slowly.

oh I know your game. Offer to assist me so want to know where the car is... seeing as you live in the same area as me it wont be difficult for you to go down there and steal it before I get a chance to! lol
I shall do some sneeky beeky enqs and see where it gets me. but will also look into the cost of local lock ups I think.

I say blatantly walk up the path and look around it, when someone comes out ask about it and say you'll take it of thier hands for free as your looking for a project
£5 says she won't go get it :p
£5 says she won't go get it :p
£5 says you have to go get it for her lol
£5 says she won't go get it :p
You know I prob wont end up getting it coz I have got nowhere to put it atm. but nice to think for a min that I might of.
I shall prob end up just looking at it everytime I drive past it and wishing I lived on a farm with lots of land to collect cars on. :d

I think so, I've been building my track car for nearly a year now, I should probably advance it past 1 WIP post sometime lol
Go buy that black one instead. Or, for the same money, get me a Lexus :d

Im not intrested in more farm find novas.....I might actually be able to help. Depending where it is, my old man is a farmer.....we know alot of people around here...
Would be nice to meet some more people around here with novas anyway.
PM me If you do need help, cant promise anything but depending on area i might be able to help.

I've only seen a couple Novas round Dorchester - We found an old silver (iirc) ratty A or B reg 3dr parked up down some road, and there used to be a red one that was quite often parked in the skate park, saw it a few times with L plates on I'm sure. I did see a lazer blue 5dr with luxe wheels driving past Hayely's house as well once, but haven't seen it again.
Oh yeah, and there's a shoitey blue 2dr saloon going about lol

Went to see this nova today.... lol Just so happens my mates gf lives nextdoor!! So I asked for you if it was forsale....The answer was NO! He said he gets asked over and over. Its a rank colour a sort of faded gold!! Anyways I had a look round it. Its a 1l striped out which used to have a huge ICE install and thats all it got used for. The car weighed so much it couldnt power its self out of the driveway so it had to be put on a trailer to get it to shows. Its rotted to feck...and just genrually a gash nova! Shame but its not even worth scrap value! Just thought id let you know!
/\ so it was really good & you got it for pennies & have posted this on here to put everybody else off........

HAHAHA nope, Im not like that. I didnt find it so I woulnt have taken it. Was just by chance that I found it. My mate pointed it out when We went to drop some stuff off at his gfs houselol
By all means go try and get it. Even if he sold it to you its so rotten it would snap in half before you got it on the trailor!!lol
HaHa well thanks for letting me know. at least I can stop looking at it and wondering now.

Thats the one im thinking of! :thumb:
Ahhh, Blackjack's old Nova. I did think it might have been his when I saw the colour lol
IIRC he took all the ICE out and stuck it in something else. At the mo he's got an Astra van I believe...
I couldn't think of his user name, I don't think its going to be a road car again anytime soon

The colour dont look too bad in photos, but now its rank! trust me. Its been left to rot and he wont sell so meh.....It was rotten even in the days when he used to show it. Was just the glue/rivits/concrete that was holding the poor thing together.
i remeber that nova,what a shame to do that to it,he should of used a fiesta,could of gave the nova a good home,some people pea me off

It was crap anyway!! Way beyond repairlol

26-07-10, 04:21 PM
there was these classic old trucks near me and the boy would never sell then 10 years later they had rotted away beyond repair lol and got weighed in
The air box might be worth a few quid once it rots away
Angus Closier
26-07-10, 05:00 PM
Why didnt he use a transit or somthing that you could fit loads of ICE in rather than a nova?
Because it hadn't been done in a Nova, perhaps he had it to hand, perhaps it was cheap.... meh. Does it matter? It was designed to be loud, it WAS loud, so it fulfilled its purpose.
some people pea me off

Nay, thats currently sat in the works car park. Used the Nove at the weekend. There is another pre-facelift black ST205 in Dorchester, last time I saw it though iirc it had the standard wheels and no wing blocks. I think its also a jap one, where as mine is UK.
I live in Yeovil, but Hayley is in Doch so either car is usually parked down there most weekends.
