Just read in the star, Vauxhall nova is the no.1 car for boy racers lol
That's all
Wonder if the person who wrote the article knows anything about cars.

maybe they mean the nova still typifies the stereotype the most - as in it was the greatest ever boy racer car.. most revered (sp?)
No one would probably admit their car is a boy racer car, so they all just said nova- because they used to have one.
That or its a **** report. lol.
all civic's around ere with B18 turbo's lol

I would say looking back then the Nova has got to be the main boy racer car. Back in the day they had such a bad rep, much worse than the current corsa does now. However if they think the current boyracer car is a Nova then their completely wrong. Most young guys in cars seem to have near new cars now, you don't often see 90s hatchbacks on the scenes :(
"boy". lmfao. Have they tried getting an insurance quote for an <19 year old on a Nova with any slight hint of performance?! lol

They probably used to be, but no chance are they still "boy racer" cars. Look at the Saxo's, Corsa's and 106's!

I used to love those days. Everyone had Novadose kitted mk1's full of filler whilst i trundled around in my standard SR.
Remember a guy telling me i was mental for taking the 3 spokes off and fitting jubilee's with silver GTE trims, and that i should have got some bigger alloys instead.
all 'fleet st' journalists are lazy & usually ill informed. why would a car that went out of production 20 years ago still be the most popular car to crash into railings near a fast food outlet???

when does a boy racer turn in to a man that drives like a tit and speeds on public roads, because 90% of people on here would fall in to the man that drives like a tit category lol

streams of saxos/corsa c's round here, all seem to have been magnetised then driven through hellfrauds.

Boyracer? most of the guys on here are 30-40 going through a mid life crisis, or is that Just me? :)
