Right most of you know my cars so i dont need to add pics. Im stuck at the moment to which car to spend my money and effort on to fix and take to pvs this year.

1. The Y reg saloon with the engine from B 17OVA
2. The GTE
3. The v6 astra

tbh they all need about the same amount of money on them. On yours id say mk1 astra sr as they are rare as fook. but whats the spec on the nova? got a thread?

yeah but the mk1 is quite wel known now and done all the shows last year including being on the TV stand at most of them :d
Nah I havent started a wip thread yet I keep meaning to its just finding the time to sort out all the pics etc lol
It will prob end up being the Astra but might see if a mate fancys driving the Nova for me.

What car did u take last year?

I am not a fan of these threads at all - just a thinly veiled attempt to show off the amount of cars you have/c0ck wave! :eek:

If you cant decide which to take then you have issues - plus its only Jan - so one/all would have corroded that little bit more over the next few months, so that should help with the decision making! lol

I have more than one Nova too - but dont feel the need to ask for 'advice' as to which car to take - I am able to make such decisions:d

Rant over!;)

Well the gte has the standard gte wheels so you wouldnt want them, the saloon has the old style flat spoke mo's and the astra has vectra supertouring wheels so you wouldnt want them due to being 5 stud.

So is that the saloon for your vote then :p

I hate post like this as you seem to be a person to judge quite easy. if i was doing it to cock wave wouldnt i have said about the other nova's and car's ive got! No i said about the ones i havent a clue on what to fix and see what people would like to see at the show. And if i was cock waving dont you think i would have updated my track project thread to "cock wave" but no you go and have alook at when i last posted onit!

Ok - found that a bit hard to read tbh - but my gripe is that these posts dont/wont inform your actual decision will it? You wont think 'OK so PNG voyed that I bring my GTE - so I will' will you?

Or will you? If it will - then fair enough, but I have no idea what your cars are or the spec etc, except I remember a 300bhp XE being built - is that right? If so - I vote for whatever car thats in!

Also the statement you make about everyone know etc is also massively presumptuios - again I am old and grump, so feel free to ignore this - just another gripe with the thread.

Ok fair enough, i can see why you posted what you did. but i WILL fix the car what gets the most votes if there are more then like 2 votes of the winner.

You must be able to see where im coming from tho. Every year people say the show was this the show was that and they wish they seen this car there or more of this car there. so seeing as ive got a option of some why not find out what to bring.

And year im doing the 2.2 xe but like we have said on the thread before that i want 300bhp yea but what it will come out to at the end we will only know when its finshed. Thats not a option tho as im going to finish that untill when me and the misses have the wedding in august

Hope thats abit better for your eyes Sir

So you're cheating more than I thought, and it's not exactly an "xe" as most people refer to it is it lol In fact isn't the code for that Y22SE? :p

No need for Sir! lol

Of course - I am not knocking you - just these threads in general I suppose!

Just bring whats likely to be the most unusual/rare - ie if it has Gsi kit and speedlines, leave it at home! lol
