There was a young lad with his nova who has been nominated he calls it pinky and it was a well nice nova!!!!!!!
He had spend 15k on it and had his mam in it with the harness on while he was racing people on public roads lol
Didn't see it, but there's a pic of Quentin Wilson blowing it up

lmfao - thats Daz - my dad sent me an email about it.
One of Kev's mates - last time i went over to see kev he drove me round there to see it.
Sound system is mental - and its rather fast too (although not very quick for a 2.0 16v so i am told)
Daz took me fora spin in the thing and its just fookin nuts - as was the driver - not surprising that he has 11 points on his licence. Not a particularly bad driver though - just drives a very fast car - errr... very fast.

I think its the general view of people that say they like novas. I always get grief when I say I used to own a nova and wouldn't mind another.
I get the piss taken for liking nova's and actually wanting to spend time and money on them. Tell them all to feck off. It's a hobby, I like the cars, and mainly cos my first Nova is the only car I've had that never once let me down. When the timing belt went, it never even bent a valve. Most reliable little car I've had. Gimme a vauxhall any day
lol people look at me funny when i said i was selling my car to buy another nova (i.e. have two of them lol)

i've had three - the missus has one and my mates think i am fookin nuts co i am after a fourth for myself.
they dont understand why after stepping forward to own an N reg car i would wanna go backwards again lol. But hey - my D reg nova had less problems than my N reg clio - and thats only had 1!
I get the same response at home.
Whilst having CP's car at my place, the wife would practically sneer at it every time she walked past it. I swear she tried to tried to pass it off as a wheelie bin when her friends visited. (She's a VW snob).
I'm a driving purist and see a Nova for what it is, simple no frills, nimble fast and lightweight. Best performance/pound you can get.
Unfortuanately alot of people don't see it this way.

thing i like is the way people look at all nova's as just a small car thats been "done up a bit"...
They dont think that you can increase th performance of something was basically designed for grandma n grandpa to go to the shops in to the extent that you can. However i believe that vauxhall planned this sort of thing all along - why else would the engine bay be so damn big that you can squeeze a v6 into it?
Lol! UK's worst driver is a Nova driver? oh dear :lol:
Thats a suprise then :lol: Same old cliche's
Well luv em or hate em at least people dont accuse them of being boring.
