In my Job I can go from driving a brand new Mercedes Sprinter one day (and getting back in the nova at the end of a shift & it feels fooked & slow) or having a nasty IVECO van like I did today (then driving the nova home & the clutch feels nice & light & the car generally refined).
Me & my Nova have a love & hate relationship. It hates me, I love it.......... no wait..

you think you have problems with bodyroll/ gp rider style in a transit? try it in and old discovery then you will run back to the transit lol
I just prefer driving my Corsa's & collection of various vans lol dont really miss my Nova at all TBH.

Oxymoron? Most Ford seats are flat with no surport, just like the lower spec Vauxhall seats.

lol a axe!!
no it was i, paul will fill everyone in on the story, i used a hammer and axe to smash the s*it out of my nova turbo, i had it three days, blew the gearbox up, i was trying to get the box out, and a spanner slipped out of my hand and smashed me in the face, put the spanner on the same nut, slipped, and did it again, so, i got the first thing to hand, being an axe, and smashed the s*it out of the whole car, from windows, to every light and panel, even jumped up and down on the roof, and to finish the job, id drunk a few beers, so i had a large p*ss in it. job done. car cost 4500 to buy, 2500 to fix after, and id do it again, paul came over after i did said deed and was rolling around the floor laughing, pics will have to be found, paul and a few others from here where a witness to the act. :d :d :d

lol epic rage!!
pretty much how im feeling at the moment.Im fukkin sick of it all.Im so close to ebaying all my let stuff and my nova
I don't miss driving mine, hence the zero miles it has done this year. The new MR2 toy tries my patience but everytime I drive it it all gets forgotten.
pretty much how im feeling at the moment.Im fukkin sick of it all.Im so close to ebaying all my let stuff and my novayour only want another like me if you do, my problem in life is i was taught that if it dont work propley, it aint worth having , hence why i smash everything up and burn it out:cool:

lol i havent driven mine in nearly 8 years!!
your only want another like me if you do, my problem in life is i was taught that if it dont work propley, it aint worth having , hence why i smash everything up and burn it out:cool:
ive had this feeling too many times now,ive wasted far too much time and money on it:mad:
it cost me 2.5k to put mine right last time the axe came out, since ive owned ernies nova, ive put a bit into it to make it stay right so i dont get tempted to have a return of the axe game againlol
Its never fully tipped me over the edge,ive raised hammers and crowbars to it many a time but stopped myself.
Suppose im a bit more mellow these days,few years back i would have fired the thing and still had a good nights sleep
