Well picked up my new car today , a nova for a bit of a run around. its it pretty good condition just a little bit of rust at the bottom of the door but nothing major. thinking about spraying the wheels white and changing the indicators but i havent really got money to spend as im saving for a new car lol. never knew what a good little car they are, prefer the handling to my corsa already.

Smart looking E reg you have there - Welcome to Novaload by the way!

Whats up with the Corsa, general engine problems? and is that a sports pac Mini in the background?

the corsas mainly engine problems, the headgasket is just about gone, it leaks so much oil, the alternators gone, the fan has stopped, the wiring to one of the headlights has melted lol, it leaks water in and idles at around 2.5k. to get it all sorted would mean more money than i paid for the nova even if i do the work myself.
Good guess on the mini your right.

The Nova is a much better car than the Corsa, Nova is cheaper and easier to work on, looks better, handles better, the clutch and steering are heavier and nicer.
Give it some rev

those wheels really set it off imo.

p.s i would of thought that a nova and corsa would handle about the same as the corsa has a nova floorpan, inner wings etc...
