Dan Paynes is THE nicest nova i've ever seen just for the shear quality and quantity of work done on the car... don't know whether he did all the work himself but 110% respect for the committment m8

Mike is a proper minter... but theres so many r8 nice nova's about on here its hard to chose

LOL

K's car looked good on carefully chosen photo's, but in the metal was shite. An it was the slowest turbo i ever saw! He claimed a 5 second 0-60 in Slow Car magazine, but my calibra 16v blitzed him at Avon Park raceway!
STANDARD calibra 16vwith air filter and exhaust!

But i have to say I spoke to K and he was a thoroughly nice chap.

Ive got all the pics of k's car bein done up. V. nice. Never seen it in flesh but a lot of cars in the flesh have dodgy botched bits on them ie pinky. Thats why mines takin ages coz nothin will be botched. Carnt really say which is best until youve seen them all in the metal coz photos can disguise things.

Hard to say which are my favorites as i like bits from many peoples cars, but a few of them are:

Bretts Warburton
Pepe
Issac hunt
Nova Niels
Barts euro nova
djp_y2k, for the amount of work gone into it!

Il ike the euro look mainly. Do like the pictures of the blue euro nova at the MK meet. Would like to see it in the flesh. Fair play for being different!

So many more i like but would be here all day.
