dont think its on general sale yet m8, i got it at work on subscriptrion, one of the many benefits of subscribing :D
Comes out Xmas eve (That's the 24th incase you were wondering!!)
Oooh so Karl's Nova is in there, I always look sforward to seeing what Nova they feature, sometimes I'm disappointed to find it some ill fitting bodykitted piece of tat, but recently there's been some good un's (Martin Weavers, Brett Warburtons etc etc) and I'll add Karls to that 'Good one' list.
Also, has anyone got on info on Jon Walshs Nova? I heard somewhere that he's putting the 40's on a 1.6 16v lump :?:
/me reminds himself to subscribe sometime.......
:oops:
you haven't mentioned mine Jules
Yours was one of the "etc etc" ones!!
OK and yours aswell then Rick!!

Cheers guys, only just seen the feature myself after andy posted it on novalution. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh as i dont have a subscription! Oh well it will be a good christmas present when i do get it.
Keith, i didnt tell anyone about the feature because i wanted it to be a surprise for the guys that help me build it (you know who you are and again a big thanks) :wink: Plus you know me keith im not one for showing off and being in the spot light.
Martins hasnt been featured yet mate, but when we get round to putting his engine in im sure it will.
Recently brett warburtons? Has it been featured again? if not that was nearly two years ago!!!
Will look forward to reading this months as i was a bit annoyed with the VX220 guide book wich was called Decembers edition.

lol mot.... so he's got his wiper linkage back then :lol:
Pictures in TV don't do kaerls car any justice! If you think it looks good in the mag, you should see it in the metal!
i'll get some next time im there, nothings been done to it so dunno why you want pics lol.
yes he has ste ;)
i agree that car looks amazing in total vaux , its so clean for an 87 sr

Elsey, not sure of your real name mate but thanks mate glad you like it. Have to say yours is one of my favorites aswell, nice and simple and love the colour of your wheels. Thinking of maybe doing my wheels a different colour over the winter.
Like the picture aswell mate, didnt get any of it at billing so thanks for putting that up.
While im here i'd like to say thanks to everyone who has helped me with the car especially andy b and kerrie, the features more for you guys than it is for me :wink:
Allways said, to me the car isnt that important, its the people ive met over the years ive had it that count more. Sounds cheesy i know but its the truth.
Karl.

Karl's is the car that inspired me to "tune" my Nova. Words do NOT do it justice, and the owner is just as sound :wink:
Well done mate!
Ad
I've not seen the feature yet, but no doubt Karls car will and does look amazing. I've seen this car many times in the flesh and it is outsanding. Well done Karl.
