My latest smoker

[geoff H]

My cav turbo is sold and the hunt is on for its replacement, although i have a few ideas in mind for the mean time this is my latest smoker, its a 1.2 luxe nova, 2 owner model with 24k miles on the clock, tax and MOT and brimmed with motion potion for the princely sum of ?0, now i am no good at running standard cars so its had a few bits from the parts bin thrown at it to keep me happy, I',m just after a few bits to make it go and sound sweet.

Where did you find that minter from? Lol, somewhere local in Stoke?

What is it? 1.2 carb?

Looks great, nice work.
I think the bump strips look cool too, they suit the car. :)

Sell me those wheels :plol

[geoff H]

Its a 1.2 carb yes, i found it in a little village called creswell near cheadle which is where i am based, i recognise your nova, do you get up fez on a sunday nite as i'm sure ive seen it there, im with my mate in his silk violet mk2 astra GTE

novamadman - cheers mate, it took some work to get a shine back

[Adam]

Ahh, i know where Creswell is.

Sometimes i do go up fez ye, but theres another white nova that looks similar to mine thats up quite often.

Is it going to stay a 1.2 carb? Lol

Nice smoker (tho I doubt it does on 24k)

I always thought a 'smoker' referred to a banger or cheap runabout.

how did u getth colour bak?

[geoff H]

i got the colour back with some seriously aggreasive 3m cutting compound, the nsome 3m finishing compound then a good waxing, i really should have used a buffer as its still no spot on, but i'm thinking of having arches abd wings on it as they are not mint so i will have the sides painted and the rest buffed.

I use the term smoker as cheap runabout

my previous nova
