I seem to have got away fairly safely, been without my nova for a couple of months. I do not want another nova, Ive gone gay and would chose a corsa over a nova.

i think your problem simply is you havent replaced the old nova with anything yet.. so just go out and buy a car youve wanted..

I went out and bought a corsa sport, hardly the car of my dreams :S

I'm moving on to pastures new tomorrow, I know I'm going to miss some aspects of driving a Nova. That being the kart like handling.

I won't say I will not be back in one, I dare say I will, but I really dont want to be seen another anytime soon.

So for the last week I've been utterly punishing my lil 1.2 & loving it. They are addictive, end of.

Owning a transit is a project by its own. Whatever its age.

So wrong fella. Merely there to throw you's off the scent. lol

As BrainsNova said, I'm gonna be happy to observe other peeps buld & crash their Novas for a while. maybe when I win the lottery I'll buy Keith's. lol

ive got a shell to be building up (and a spare shell), 2 engines in pieces (3 if you count my replacement vectra lump) and a lock-up full of parts but i still worked out wether i could justify buying a breeze blue SR lol

i could NEVER have one as my only/main transport tho, far to old/sensible for that

lol lol We have one in work, more effort than its worth!

CG - Damm you, If there is no thread posted, you suck.

And on topic, i have the space and the money to build one the same, but id only build a minter of one, which isnt worth the hassle IMO.
