After 2.5 great years of rallying our Nova rally car, I finally put a nail in the coffin this year at eagles rock hill-climb, when I just clipped a bridge flat in 4th gear at about 95mph.

The only consolation I have is that I still managed to beat my brother (co-owner) by1.3tenths of a second. Ha Ha.

i love it when novas get re-built and live on, novas dont die, they just get re-built and made faster.

[Adam]

Good to see its going to be put to good use :)
Some good work gone on there.

[craig green]

Love the phrase ' shell was laying around'.

Nice car though.
