So, what did you all think, did you have a good time, etc.
I had a really good day. I'm very tired though, and I've only driven 20miles home, lol. Was good to see a lot of folks. Tried to chat with as many people as possible. Thanks for all the comments on the car, it's very much appreciated.
Cheers

the women at Pv were like vauxhals, ok from a distance but close up they are built with bad parts lol.
Nice day, got the POD burn ;) im sure others have too.
I booked my first official trackday (should be a giggle)

a few v fast novas there today did i see one at 12.8?
yep was a good day, i didnt rotate and mingle like normal for a change and just mulled around enjoying a hassle free day (although being up since 4am prob didnt help lol). Yet again met a few new peeps along with the normal rabble which is always good, although in my laziness didnt get round to speaking to the ones i wanted to lol :lol:
Thanks to all who attended from novaload and roybacer, the quality of the cars on the stand this year was very good again with abit of something for all tastes.
HOW the hell did you get pod burn lololol, you must live in a cave or something and this daylight stuff is all new :lol: :lol:

Good day I thought, finally got to meet a few of you and we had a good few drinks last night. Car of the day for me was the flip-front RWD valver, interesting space-framing at the front and the inside dominated by the tranny tunnel. Looking forward to meeting some more of you at trax.
had a good day all in all apart from the fan belt problem nice to see some quality cars on your stand some interestin cars about and that was just in the car park lol might get to speak to some of you at trax loved the nova racin the cossie only .12 of a second behind (i think)lol
ad :lol:
T'was a top day, was good to meet some people from here, didn't get a chance to speak to everyone as most of you weren't near ya cars :lol: It was also nice to see some of the motors off here in the metal, some proper minters there 8) and the novas seemed to be doing very well up the strip 8)
what time did rexy get in his 1.0l then
he didn't even do a 1/4, his car was parked next to mine all day :lol:
I couldnt bring myself to do it matey after the comments made by peeps when a 1.2 corsa got around 22sec's lol.
I just chilled walked around all day and chatted to a few NL members, Was a pretty sound day, some nice cars okish ladies and more importantly some tidy nova's :D
Oh and sweety stu really like my Girly blue nova... Bless.
was a great day, weather wasn't too bad, glad it didn;t rain although it looked like it was going to all day !
good to catchup with a few of you again, trying to find some pics of my car now! hopefully blackett photographer will post the pic up of me doing the monster 3rd gear gas burnout lol
roll on trax :)
fanny :lol: :lol:
Lick me!!! :?

It was a good day, didn't think it was as good as last year imo (proberly because of weather), i spent most the day on the 1/4 mile. got my 60 foot times down to 2.2's. just need to work on the reaction times lol.
Spoke to a few of you.
Fancy Chris letting the 'nutter' benji out in your car :lol: . What times did benji get?
lol, Ben ran a 17.4 then a 15.2 and a 15.3. The fag blamed it on the car. Bad workman blames his tools :wink: . Top weekend for me, just got back and had some tea, both me a Char have very slight POD burn. Just need a good night sleep now.
Just a quickie to say thanks to everyone who attended and the campers from last night. Was a great laugh. Roll on Donington now :lol:

LOL, I saw your car Scott...very dissapointed to see it on another stand - tsk, tsk, lol ;) but I didn't see you until right at the very end. I think you were chatting to Rexy or possibly benji.

highlights for me was seeing annas car (concours GSi); then seein her run it a couple of times on the 1/4. Also J800ST..(?) sliky turbo'd Gsi made me smile everytime that ran the 1/4.. scott run was good too - starting to get consistant now arent ya bud?

Engine bay had SBD everything, chrome lower arms, mirror finnish underneath I could go on and on and on.
Amazing, the CorsaSport lads are on about giving up modifying because they won't ever beat what that lad has created.
still a corsa tho... :lol:
it was great that silk turbo was mad! sadly did not meet any novaload ppl either :(
did anyone see that pulsar gti-r blow its gear box right at the end of the day?!?! that had to be a highlight!!!!

it was a good day.
the camping was interesting (i think) from what people have told me, it sounded good lmao. (litterally)
had a few runs at the 1/4 myself, was pleased that i got a 14.6 in one run and 2 14.8's.
also ran on that RR thingy. so i now have some figures of what the car is running and doing on the 1/4. i shall get the times down thou.
big thanks to all that attended. the stand was full as, and the quality of the cars were awsome.
i am also just starting to feel a tad bit burnt. guted really, i had factor 15 and 30 in my bag too.
oh by the way chris, we cheated in the tug of war. and still lost grrrrrr!

some very nice cars on the stand this year
still feel tired an slept realy well and i didn't realise there there were two 5 o'clocks!
Hello peeps!
Nice to meet some of u finally! Had a top weekend! Impressed with the quality of the cars on the NL stand! Pity i never made it in one piece as such but never mind! I got there in the end! Big thanks to sean for ringing round and CP for the box, unfortunate that nothing could be done! Any pictures of the BUMper cars guys?? Top laugh! Anybody got a pic of the car that one best in show??
Hope to see u all again sometime in the near future! With a healthy car this time lol
Stu!

06-06-05, 11:01 AM
Just wanted to say a quick thanks to yourselves for letting the few RBers use the corner of the stand.
We'll have our own next time promise!
I think Andys LET Saloon stole the show - if you dont count Austins :lol: ive never seen such a crowd! )
All in all a great day ... especially for my lil Merit - set a 14.281 @ 95.77mph...
not bad for a 100% standard XE... infact i believe it may be the quickest.. any1 shed any light on times of other Novas with standard XEs?
Was good day, met 1 or 2 new people and chatted to loads of the old crowd, had a good chat with CP.
Shame was struggling in the van and couldnt get the times down, but we found out why on the way home! :lol:

06-06-05, 12:29 PM
Was a great weekend. The camping was a top laugh but we wont go into that lol.
The NL stand did look very good, so many well prepared novas. I have so many people to thank and there was so many I never got to speak to.
Seen so many novas setting great times up the strip. Well done all!!

i had a great time... ended up getting home at 11 last night :cry: lol
stu - lucky for you, i did have photos of the bumper cars, but they're not very good and not incriminating :?
camping was brilliant, although i have bruises all over from the fairground...!
i was almost dead at work this morning, but it was definately worth it!
and dammit sean...! don't tell chris we cheated :lol:

I had a top weekend all be it a very drunk one! I was surprised you all went to bed so early, me and Mart Weaver were up until gone 5am drinking lager and talking cod shit :lol: I went home with 7 cans left, i took 24 with me :o Just to make sure though i got back yesturday and went straight back out to the pub, well thats me done for the next month.
Was really good to catch up with the people i spoke to, sorry if i was a little quite i really wasnt up for talking much as you can imagine :wink:
The stand looked great aswell with some very well built cars, Jims was the best finished car on the stand (if finished is the right word) My personal favorite was the white GSI replica at the back of the stand, loved it mate.
Congrats to all the 1/4 times aswell, i was most chuffed for beastie who got a 13 dead! Well done mate, shame you didnt make it into the 12's maybe if you had had you hair shaved instead of cut you may have done it.
See you all at Billing

I was there until the last fews rubs of the day.The winner in the silk violet nova ended up doing a 12.28@116. Mint
Last year I did a 13.3 @110 . The first runs of the year with full interior I managed a 13.04 @ 111mph well chuffed . But now Ive got to strip the interior and get some 12's!!!!
I got all of my 6 runs done within 37 mins. Thats amazing for santa pod normally that long for 1 run. Just shows what you can do when you get up at 5:30!
Mint show and yes I got burned.

Look forward to seeing your progress in the future mate. I can appreciate what you have done to it because of how it strated life (it was a 1.2 wasnt it?) Most people would walk by a standard looking GSI but it isnt at the end of the day. White GSI imo best looking nova vauxhall produced.
:lol: At Keith, it still freaks me out thinking about what could of been that night.

i had a great time although as usual i didnt get a chance to speak to everyone, i did speak to a few new faces, benji and MC that i recall
pity me car looked a bit crap (and rusty) but its coming along sloowly and hopefully by trax i'll have most of the rust sorted and the speedlines i collected fitted
my bro managed a 18.7 in his 1.2i after two shit runs, im sure he could do better too with enough practice, i saw a 1.3sr on 40's running 19's so it cant be that slow
perhaps a diff change is next on the cards and some more 1.2i mods :)
as already said i had a top day and camping was ace as usual
stu the BUMper cars were so funny lol
got to meet some more new faces (kevster,mikey,stu,)and good to catch up with the regular lot we were the last ones up when we turned the genny of at night lol
ps rexy lad I PITTY THE FOOL :wink:
the bumper cars was the best bit of the weekend, i thought i was gonna die laughing

The BUMper cars was hilarious! Had hand prints on my arse for ages!! Courtesy of Sean and Chris!! Funniest had to be when chris fell into the middle on to his ass! Cars dodgin him Left right and centre! Pity no one got any pics or video! Show people wat really goes on when Nova enthusiasts get together and have a little drinky poo!

standard XE, not standard car.
Exhaust and filter are only modified as orginal spec wont fit... If any1s crammed a cav air box in a nova they have one bloody strong and large shoe horn! :lol:
Spec is here (http://www.novaload.net/features/viewfeature.php?ref=1625)
these are the only two pics i have of "that" night :lol: lol
taken with my phone so sorry about the quality...
