I be there as usual ;). Dont expect to find any decent Nova bits, not been any there for the last 2-3 years! :(
Im going for my second year. Found a few things for my cav last year i just didn't have much money at all got a bit this year and have a nova van, mk3 astra and my mk3 cav to find bits for. Hoping to get there for 10 this time i was late last year so didn't have too good a look round
its my first year dont really know what to expect to be honest
lots of stout balding blokes in car club fleeces, eating bacon rolls & drinking bad tea, whilst rootling thru piles of old cavalier stuff looking for something they might actually need

I'll be going in my xe nova again, been for the last 5 years but nova parts seem to be getting rarer and more expensive :(
i won't be going this year. got to be somewhere else instead.. pity, cos i like meeting png people & its local to me too.
Is it just me that finds auto jumbles boring and over rated lol
i think this one is over-rated tbf.. i've seen that stall with the viva sills for a lot of years now. when it was at stoneleigh back in the 90's it was more of a winter show with club stands & tech seminars & was brilliant
i like the auto jumble at billing tbh much better

Is nova stuff thin on the ground there then? Not really after bits for any other models. Just want standard gsi bits!

Wish I was going could be doing with heaps of little parts plus the chance of new panels etc :(
Its not that great Mark i recon you would struggle to find panels there, small parts maybe but you need to rake through hundereds of boxes to find anything.

Ah is it? Iv never been before is it just people bringing all there old parts or is there places selling ond new stock parts aswell?
I wasn't that impressed last year. Much prefer having a look round the auto jumble at Billing as I'm already there. Not worth a separate trip imo.

Sorry to be a retard but where is it? lol
Few good bits there today, I managed to get a set of really clean Gsi clocks, a new gm sr grill and some mk5 astra mats to keep her indoors happy . Met some nice guys from Ireland who had a stall as well ;)
I wanted them clocks^ but he wouldn't budge on the price...

I wanted the gsi rear bumper but he wouldn't split it from the front and I have 3 fronts kicking about and was t paying £150 for a pair of gsi bumpers, Phil got a couple of little bits cheap I bought nothing lol a lot of the nova stuff was way over priced IMO
No benn he wouldn't move much but the lads came over from Ireland and needed to earn the money for the ferry some how lol, nice guys though

The Irish lads with all the rally bits bring the same stuff over year after year, they never seem to sell anything as they ask silly money for everything.
I got a few goodies. Got a new gear lever gaiter for £1, a couple of new rubbing strips, new GM clutch cable, new strut top caps, new steering rack tie rod, pair of new door handles and a few other bits and bobs. Not a great deal there again as usual :(
i got a perfect gsi lh door off some irish lads 2 years ago for £50, just as they were bringing it into the hall... i called it a bargain at the time
Got a good few bits mainly for my cav but i did get a real cheap set of rear springs and front legs with the springs so now i just need to clean them up a bit, mot her and get them fitted
I guess its the same Irish guys I bought my 15 inch OZ rallyes off at Billing.

Not really, if you wanna sell stuff don't over price it.

Did you lot not go in your novas? I arrived just after 10 and was there for about an hour and a half, there was a lot of vauxhalls in the carpark but mine was the only nova i saw all day :(

I'd have a guess and say no as you can't fill a Nova up with loads of **** lol
Nope, i wanted cruise on at 80, quiet with a big boot. So used my dad Insignia estate.

Isn't a gsi rear identical to a standard bumper bar a cut out for the exhaust?
Yeah, he's mad for not splitting lol
I went to the spares day for the first time, it wasn't that great

I saw a white Mk2 at the rear of the carpark when I left at about 1pm. I take it was not yours.
I went down in the 208 Feline. Getting bored of it now as it drinks fuel :( 208 GTi on its way but might avoid that, want a diesel again.

Yeah, saw you too but I am crap with names and faces and I was in parts hunting mode lol Sorry, will sat hello at Nats or Billing if you are there.
No need to be sorry, sure i'll see you in the jumble again..lol
