I tried to let my dad let me store one permanently in the garage long term but no go, im still keeping mine though

a lot of the lads up here are financed up with saxos, corsas etc yeah theyre good cars but theyre all slower than the GTE and cost a lot more, cash for what you get they are hard to beat

Valver conversion costs more than the car will ever be worth, if it's done properly. Mines cost more than it's insured for at the moment and the engines still a bag of bits.

Naturally it will cost a lot more, however in relative terms it's still a bargain for the outcome, provided everything goes to plan... :lol:

lmfao - i have deserted the fair nova in the past but wil soon be back again hopefully.

am undecided as yet whether to get rid of the clio and run a nova full time or get nova as a second car. But it wont be too much longer now till i have one again.

Just trying to scrape a few more quids together from behind the sofa.

i jumped ship a year ago now....nothing against them at all- just not practical anymore...

Possibly to be jumping ship from BMW to CLK320 soon, but thats another story

I sold mine, kinda wish i hadnt now though but it was just getting to be a money drain and id sort one thing then another would go wrong. I was always worried about leaving it places in case somone damaged it.

Ive moved onto bigger and better things (lmao yeah right) a ford ka! :twisted:

Finding mines becoming more and more of a black hole for money.

Been sitting behind the wheels of novas for 4 years now and i wanna change.... :wink:

saxos, corsas etc yeah theyre good cars
The build of Saxos makes Novas look like Volvos.

Not quite jumped ship, but standing on the edge today! Just been out and bought a new car. Little Mitsubishi Colt, goes quite well, and its got all the little gizmos I didn't have or want on the Nova. :) But needs a good clean and some tlc.. :)
Still keeping the Nova, But its going away for a few months until I have time to sort all its little problems and put a valver lump in it :D
