well done mate, better than the un finished xe tat that always ends up in there
it hasnt made the cover, and the car that did is a skip imo. infact so much so that burgos brown MK1 would have been a better choice lol.

At least then it wouldnt be false advertising :lol:
Cheers for the comments guys, although I've yet to see the feature, lol.
I don't know how they choose the cars or why they go for the cars that they go for. I don't know about Mikes situation other than last year at PV he was approached by someone and they took a few details about his car - you'd have to ask Mike what the score is.
I kept it quiet because, well, I just didn't want to shout about it. I'm really quite reserved, lol. I guess I wanted to see the feature in the magazine and on the shelf before I said anything.
There are plenty of people responsible for getting the car where it is and without there help I wouldn't have the type of nova that I have, so a big thankyou to all involved (you know who you are :)). It's still got a lot to prove though, but I guess now it's been featured the fun can begin...watch out Mr. Redmond ;)
Cheers guys
Jim
Yeah, congrats Jim, chuffed for you, as Jim said well done to everyone else, I'll buy a copy on friday
Chris
nice one jim, i must admit i did see you talking to a photographer at pv as i was coming over to you.
the car is fantastic, the work that has been put into it is of the highest quality.
no wonder your laid back jim, 18 months for a paint job. if you were any more laid back you'll fall off the chair.
i also shall be buying the mag on friday.
well done again jim and all that helped.
Kind of guessed it was coming on the run up to PV.
Fair play to you Jim nice to see the hard work noticed.
Mikes probably waiting as the Alloy filler cap for the water bottle put them off!
yep as everyoine else had said nice one mate. There's nothing better than having all the hard work and effort appreciated on such a wide scale.
You are correct also that now the fannying around has been done you can get on and use it properly and take the game to a new level :D
well done to jim and all those who helped build his great nova :D

i see, so Jim gets a feature in TV, his car must be too good to put one on lowly Novaload?
Only kidding.
Well done dude.
Thanks for all the comments guys. Cheers for the scans benji. This may sound silly, but I dont want to look at the scans until after ive looked at the mag, but i dont know if i can resist, lol.

Just looked at the scans Benji has posted and car is looking good mate.
Dont think i have seen the car first hand.
Not been buying TV recently cos it seems to have gone to sh*t but will definetly take a look.
Always nice to see your pride and joy make print so enjoy.
Cheers

Well done Jim, The feature looks great!
The car looks fantastic compared to how it was when i first saw it a few years ago also definately a thousand times better than when we left it with 50 bits of masking tape on at the bodyshop!
Future plans sound fun as well :wink:

Congratulations again, Jim. I'm still getting over the ferocity with which your car accelerates. It's the subtle detailing that really sets it apart from other cars. Very much worthy of a feature.
Although, did anyone else spot the typo in the feature?

i'd gop and buy the mag anyway Jim, that way you can look it it when your 80 and think back to the good days.
i'd gop and buy the mag anyway Jim, that way you can look it it when your 80 and think back to the good days. i bet the way he treats the car he will still have it when he is 80 and still in the same good condition :D

Well done Jim!
I havnt seen the feature yet but it sounds as though TV have done it justice. It was a well deserved feature, and i am sure your car will continue to change and get better over the next few years :wink:
Now get out there and do as many track days as you can in it!

You talking about the comments I made about being beaten by Dan? If so then it's Dan's 1.6 on carbs. He replied earlier on in the post, his feature is on here somewhere.
Cheers again guys.
Who knows Karl, may make it's way to the ring one year :wink:
