Hey everyone

the Admin thing was just about some one on here acting really really foolish. its been sorted.

on a general note :D

saxos drivers dont like most people... well they think there faster than most cars on the planet ;) its just a saxo thing! LOL.

Nah we alright really. i got nothing against novas if done well :D my front bumper was inspired by a nova.

at end of day, Saxo and 106 are just a modern Nova, they all had there time now and more hatches coming out. just how it goes :D

As a former saxo owner i can now say that i hate the things! cos they go wrong alot and every1 has got 1.

But they aint that slow really, i had a 1.4 westcoast and it was just as quick as a Nova sr and a Nova sri.

But a Gsi would kill a Vtr, i hope so anyway. No saxo driver ever seams to wanna race me though! except some guy who had a tuned up vts and totally whipped me.

On SSC there are supercharged saxos and turbos that are quicker than some valvers.

Seen a vid of 1 doin 0- off the clock. Mint!

Nice to see that a saxo driver has got respect for novas though, cos alot of ppl have Novas labelled as slow rustbuckets!

Yea i got alot of respect for anyone that puts effort into a car to be honest.


If its a larda (spelling) with a twin turbo 2i dropped in

Nova with seriously kit and engine work

BMW X5 with pimp kit..

Its just good to see people doing what they like and the unique cars that come from it.

Even if i dont like a car or a kit, if they put hundreds of hours moulding it and doing what they want. ten fair play.

There is 1 NOVA that i know of more than any other....

and the time on it i respect...

this one:

Yeah, its a lovely nova.

i gotta say tho well done to him to having a great nova, and also how the f**k did he have all the energy/enthusiasm to do all that? - i usually give up after a couple hours sitting and thinking 'what the hell do i do next' :lol:
