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.

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

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

probably why they are so rare as most have been thrashed,stolen or scrapped:(
