I MISS MY NOVA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[walshie]

Sadly my Nova Is now parked in the big carpark in the sky!! So I Thouhgt I'd get a different car..............

I've had a escort (mite as well have got the bus!!!) and have got an Astra MK4 sxi at he min, but the Nova's a legend!!!

(http://www.novaload.net/features/viewfeature.php?ref=1692)

These things don't stop running, the engine was older then me!! I'm going to have to resurrect one!

How much should I pay for a mint condition one (if such a thing exists) im not bothered about engine size..............just want a Nova back :roll: :(

[Mike]

its not how much will you get one for.=, its how much your looking to pay for one matey!

Find a minty non rusted one though, as bad weather and nova's = lots of rust + big accidents if your speeding! :?

[ade]

if you have any pics I could make a model of your nova - an wee reminder of your beloved motor!

PM me for info

:wink:

[Ste L]

I can sympathise with ya. I havent driven my GSi for almost 2 years, Ive had a Cav GSI & 2 Astra GTE 16v's in the mean time but they just seem jinxed (XE's) so I bought an ebay Nova for ?260. Its got 12 mnths MOT & so far Ive bought a 60mm lowering kit from ebay (?17) & Ive fitted a GTE 16v leather steering wheel. The std one hurt my hands.

I'm happy as Larry in my new Nova, its a shame that the new shell is better than my GSi. Looks like Ive bought the shell of my next project.

I love not driving novas anymore, warm in winter and cool in summer, no worrying about welding at mot time, joyus.

I drove a 1.2 corsa the other day, and Oh my god it is far a hell of a lot comfier than the nova...

[m.d.]

i miss mine too, just not the XE handling. especially now ive driven other cars, (scoob, s13 200sx that i own now, and my 1.1 fiesta turns in better too lol)

[SRimon]

lol you can have mine for 3k :lol:

Theres something about nova's thats oh so right dunno what it is, aint got a clue :lol:

[Jack]

Don't really miss mine that much tbh. Can't think why :lol:

I have had lots of different Vauxhalls over the past few years, but I keep going back to Novas.

I am meant to be buying a sensible car (S3) in a month, but might just get something else!

as far as i was concered i never wanted one, i started with a seat ibiza 1,4 insurance ripped me of2 months later so i quite them, decided to get a suzuki baleno 98 hatch, great car alot faster than i was used to with the seat and very modern leccy every where and stuff never dreamed of getting a nova, car broke, found a nova FELL IN LOVE WITH ITits jus so, , , erm ,,,, well,,,, its a nova, until you drive one you dont realise how addictive they are, they are so small and basic its just you and quite a bit of speed, and great handling, very cheap for parts my suzuki was gonna cost 550 for a new gearbox this nova would cost me 90,

also i found me mates with fully modded cars like 106s , , all say they want a nova now, its just a little beast

LONG LIVE THE NOVA,

[Jack]

and great handling
Are we still talking about the Nova here? :lol:

Personally I'd take the 106 over a Nova... in standard or lightly modified form anyway.

[Mike]

for the overall DIY modiying and ease of repairs, nova's are just great!

great fun to drive as well and bigger engined (1.4/1.6) have a surprising turn of speed aswell.

There like go karts. strip one out and there sooooooo much fun to drive about! like a mini rally car of my own! i love 'em :+:
