View Full Version : Is the Nova dead?
?Marty?
31-01-05, 06:20 PM
My Nova is in the bodyshop/garage having a new engine and bodywork.
Anyway, in the meantime i've been driving around in a red, 4-door, 1 litre (16 valve twin-cam lol) Nisan Micra AKA The Microbe™.
I get chavs telling me (in various manner of broken english) that ''ya car is propa well smart mate!...'' and etc, refering to the Nova. It pisses me off.
I just parked up the other day and was getting out of the Microbe, when some (fit i must add) 'normal' female was walking past. She said ''where's your other car gone?''. ''It's being re-painted'' i replied. ''This one is a lot better'' she added.
Also, when (in my previous job) a mate from school came into a restaurant for a meal and found out that i was the manager, he said ''Get yourself a proper car mate. A Nova is not good. A Nova is NOT good.''.
And there you have it. Conclusive proof is in the pudding.
Oh and Fester has moved onto a Golfaroo. So it really MUST be the end. Because he was a hardcore GTE lover (and we all know that the Gsi is poncy).
Just hold on one cotton-picking minute :lol: :!:
Its' not my fault you might not want your Nova anymore lmfao :lol:
The Nova is dead. (well mine is anyway. Eat my GTFour!)
And its all FESTER's fault.
Marty has spoken. It must be true. Let us write his words into a book and live our lives by his word for the next 2,000 years.
i get the same mate with people taking the pish out of the nova
i prefer driving r lasses car more than the nova tbh

It's only starting with me.
I am GTE (Mk1!) obsessed. I plan on being so for quite a while yet.
i've found the complete opposite.
Everyone round my way has started bumming my car now, after several years of piss take, and no they're not chavs.
infact, someone sed to me the other day "y'know nick, nova's are actually quite cool"
i like my nova, i don't give a crap what other people think of it
get a hair cut :p
novas are ghey
oh i see starting on the hair now are we??
and scott thats one hell of a splitter on that

I just parked up the other day and was getting out of the Microbe, when some (fit i must add) 'normal' female was walking past. She said ''where's your other car gone?''. ''It's being re-painted'' i replied. ''This one is a lot better'' she added.
all women are like that, i had a whole day of it at trax a few years ago with my ex, i wasnt even allowed to go look at the novas. An she kept making comments like i should get a brand new car like a fiesta or saxo.
I have a nova because i like it an i enjoy it, not because other people think its a good car which they dont. If you do things because you bothered about what other people think then you are weak
What is with all these Do or Die, "Nu skool" old skool crew etc posts at the minute. Stop bumming each other and get on with your own cars (if you want to) and stop nosing into what other peoples views and opinions are. Will it really make a difference to YOU if someone else has decided to come out of the nova "scene". If it does you are a SHEEP.
ps get a haircut Burgo :P

Why am I (plus the other women) on this site then if we're ALL like that? I dont want a new car, because I love my novas..

its true novas are getting less and less popular, i live in hegde end in southampton this time last year evry time i went to the local cruise there would be a new nova there. but now there is only about 5-6 people that still own there novas there is no new talent becos there all buying sh!treon paxo's and corsa's :cry:
Its been said already in this post but its personnally opinion i mean i get it in the neck about owning a nova but fuck them i dont care what other people say i like me novas, and since all the people are buying saxos, puntos, corsa's and fiestas, it means that once we have sorted our cars out with big engines (well thats my plan) that once we wipe the floor with them they will understand
but again thats my opinion
Round here, the local "chavs" are all growing up and buying decent cars now that they can afford them and the insurance (200SX, Integra, GT-Four, and erm that crappy orange MR2 on ebay right now lol). The new generation of chavs and boy racers are just buying Saxos, Fiestas and Corsas etc - newer cars than Novas, cars with a greater availability, lower mileage, more toys etc. Being they are chavs and the like they don't know that Novas are clearly superior to their Saxo/Corsa/Fiesta counterparts :wink:
nova's are classy round here.
All the kevs own peices of shit. The only people i know with nova's are decent chaps who are really interested in their cars, and you can have a longer than 3 sec conversation with them, that doesn't include weed,"bitche" or fighting.
just recently i've been seeing alot of nice novas around and about grimsby, and they are really nice
or you could get one of these..

do you get a log book as it has a plate??
i am actually a giraffe
keep taking the pills audi lover :lol:
Mel is right not all women are the same i love my nova to even though it gives me so much hassle! I love going to car shows and track days to look at all the cars that are there not just the new ones!
You cant tar every women with the same brush!
Who cares what anyone else says about your car if its what u want and your happy with it why worry!
:lilangel:
Whateva ppl say novas are still good cars!, even if you see old grannys driving round in old rusted 1s, ppl always look at them n neva look at the good 1s, ppl choose novas cus they love em like me, if you dont like them then shut the fuck up n keep ur opinions 2 urselfs!! ;)

My car is pretty well respected over here. Its one of the most talked about car's on my local forum, and since i joined there's been loads of young lads buying Nova's.
I've yet to see them do anything worth while with them yet tho, but i guess money holds them back.
I get offered big money for it sometimes, and always get interest in it.
Seems its different everywhere you go!
But at work, i dont like saying i drive a nova, mostly because my workmates have never seen my blue one, just the shitty white shed i drive daily.

Think i need to get roud to Neil's place(NovaNeil) as he always keep your chin up and makes you look at on a good note.. :roll:

lets get the whols Novas are sh1te into perspective
Novas were designed in the late 70's and built in the 80's and 90's.
That makes it (from design concept stage) over 30 yrs old! The last one rolled off the ferry from Spain over 13 years ago!
Granted they are "sh1te" compared to most modern cars but they still have a "little something".
The fact theyre dirt cheap, p1ss easy to mod, get bits for and insure also count for something.
The problem is the knobs that own them and drive them like idiots.
Saying that though - the Saxo's going the way of the Nova now so who cares.

actually in my eyes the modern cars are the sh*te ones, big fat lumbering beasts that have all the gay electronics that allow you to fall asleep at wheel an still get home on time.
I hit the wall a couple of weeks ago and I hit it the other day too (not literally,lol)
agreed a price with a guy for a tuned to fcuk Corsa GSI with low miles for ?2000, kitted up, CAT1 alarm the works and was going to sell my Nova...it was only when I started getting insurance quotes that I had to keep the Nova because they were too expensive.
needless to say if a decent quote had come up I'd be saying bye bye to the Nova.
its not that I dont like the car's anymore at all (this is my second) its just that the p*ss-arsing about all the time, getting rust sorted, things not getting done, what I'd like to do vs. the money I've got etc etc is just too much. I would rather just buy a car already done, with comforts like power steering etc and then add my own touches to that. This is how I feel at the moment anyway.
Don't get me wrong if I could afford to throw loads of money at my Nova I would (and already have!) its just when funds are getting low and the car isnt how I would like it to look, go etc it pisses me right off. Without throwing ridiculous amounts of money at a car that is almost the same age as me...I cant justify it personally.
the car is staying until my insurance is up in 6months and then I'll see how it goes from there then...
saying this now though...a month down the line I'll prob be thinking differently, lol...I really love the whole underdog thing the Nova has aswell

Even if i see an old rusted one, i still take a good look at it cos i love nova's
If your only in it to take note of "modded ones" then your not into nova's, your into modding.
