Well Done Admin

[Geth]

As no one has said it yet I would just like to say a big well done to the Admin for Making Novaload/PNG a club. I know bottlethrody has been really excited about this for some time and a lot of work has been on going on behind the scenes to make this happen.

Lets hope that the PNG members can fly the flag high and proud as we enter the Nova's 25th year.

[Kickingriffin]

Fully agree with the above,GOOD WORK!!!!! Should be exciting!!

[wisewood]

Lets hope that the PNG members can fly the flag high and proud as we enter the Nova's 25th year.

Agreed. :thumb:

[Kinky Monza]

Agreed. :thumb:



What he said!!! :thumb:

[Jack]

As said, its great to get a proper Nova club going again - PVS was littered with Novas which shows they're still going strong, yet seemed to be the only model that didn't have a dedicated club.

Will mean best behaviour for PVS08 though...

[Dave.]

agreed :thumb:

[Geth]

Will mean best behaviour for PVS08 though...

Best ban Draper from coming then lol

[draper]

Best ban Draper from coming then lol


:eek:

[novabex]

Best behaviour? Us lot? We are nova hooligans... lol

[kevw]

Cheers chaps.

There is plenty more to come, we are 100% behind this and I know all our members will be too.

Kev.

[Lee]

LMAO @ 'Oh my god, Kev actually does exist' messages Im getting. lol

A special thanks to Kev, as he worked his nads off last night to sort everything out. Im glad that everyone feels it a good progression!

[nova---chris]

Hes a figment of our imagination! Dont be stupid he exsists. its a bod! lol

Nice work mate. very well done to all!

[Adam]

Good move.

So in theory, NL doesn't exist, well the site links to here, but thats all, its now png, which is not a bad thing. PNG sounds a lot more "professional" imo Lol

[wisewood]

i love that kev invented the site and has less posts than everyone. makes him mysterious lol

[Lee]

No, NL still exists. Technically we're Novaload Forum and PNG club. Its more of a merger than a replacement.

[Kinky Monza]

2 clubs in one lol

[SRlew]

No, NL still exists. Technically we're Novaload Forum and PNG club. Its more of a merger than a replacement.

that'll clear alot of peoples queries lol

lmao at the draper comment lol

and yeh its a good move!

[coochiSR]

Good move ;)

[kevw]

Hes a figment of our imagination! Dont be stupid he exsists. its a bod! lol

Nice work mate. very well done to all!

It was good when the site was hosted on a server under my bed when I lived at my mum's lol, now that's mysterious! Who needs a heater in the winter lol

[Mike]

Will mean best behaviour for PVS08 though...

On a seroius note yes, and Draper no more telling people we were from the VVOC lol lol lol

But yes, well done Admin. Roll on 2008 :D

[andybishop]

This is excellent news!!! Really would be good to get back the atmosphere of the PNG days of old. Any plans for a National Day?!?! This year is going a good year for Nova's with so many being finished and back on the road!

[Lee]

Yep, an annual Nat day was one of the first things we discussed. Once we have the club structure sorted, we can start on sorting something out.

[draper]

no-one was that bad behaved tho imo, although i did think coopers missus was gonna kill ste porter

[novabex]

Haha. She asked him if he liked his balls.... lol

I was a complete angel.

[Mike]

no-one was that bad behaved tho imo, although i did think coopers missus was gonna kill ste porter

tbh yes, it wasnt that bad at all, it was just larking about lol

But yes, Coopers missus was gunning for Ste hahahaha lol

[barnyvaux]

nice 1 so do we get a goody bag as were now a group lol....

[Lee]

As mentioned in the News bit, there will be a membership pack, however we're not 100% on the contents yet. You will be kept posted on this, just keep an eye open.

[wisewood]

source some nova shaped soap-on-a-rope to be included with the membership kit. :thumb:

[Ian]

It was good when the site was hosted on a server under my bed when I lived at my mum's lol, now that's mysterious! Who needs a heater in the winter lol
or when the server went down cos your mum unplugged it to hoover lol

[Lee]

Afpmsl!

[wisewood]

oh the number of times i would email/text kev and say "novaload is down, ring your mum" lol

[kevw]

lollollol

[Adam]

or when the server went down cos your mum unplugged it to hoover lol
LMAO lol

[wisewood]

and i also once got told that NL had used 20gig of bandwidth when we switched to the new servers, and i had used well over half of that on my own :thumb:

[J4MES]

this sounds good!!! was a little sceptical to start with, but now i fully understand the crack it sounds brilliant!!!

well done admin!!!

[bump]

Nice one for the hard work. The merger makes sense, and does make things look much more professional.


One bugbear, The Nova section lists the Spin as being a 92J plate Limited Edition, but I've got a 91H plate one. lol

Sorry to be a PITA ;)

Cheers for all the hard work guys.

[wisewood]

I dont understand what's to be sceptical about? Novaload becomes a club - but one with an established brand that had been closed down.

[Mike]

I dont understand what's to be sceptical about? Novaload becomes a club - but one with an established brand that had been closed down.

Some insurance companys ask me if i use NL, and it got me a 5% discount too :thumb:

Hopefully, now its a proper recognised club (like MiG for example) we may be able to blag more discounts lol lol lol

[Lee]

Theres a few things in the pipeline, you'll just have to wait and see!

[Mike]

Theres a few things in the pipeline, you'll just have to wait and see!

yeah i look forward to seeing the progression BT :D

[draper]

i like th eway it was all done while 'most' of us were out, admin hand is quicker than the users hand lol

[wisewood]

making it "a surprise" for when everyone comes back is good because 1. its a nice shock for everyone and 2. everyone being away at PV means the site can be down with minimal impact.

Its a bit like your employer upgrading something at a weekend while nobody is in the office :D

[tom_beverley]

Well done, its great to have a dedicated Nova club at last, the original PNG was a bit before my time :thumb:

Was a little surprised to say the least, thought I'd logged onto the wrong forum this morning!

[kevw]

It was actually done last night and when we wanted to put the site into "maintenance mode" there were over 100 visitors, about 45 were members.

Site was down until about 1:30am, got to bed about 2am, needless tosay I was very tired getting up for work this morning.

Lee skived off work, can't hack it lol

[nova ian]

Got to say you guys have done good!

I like the whole idea.

Big WELL DONE guys

Ian

[Lee]

Lee skived off work, can't hack it lol

lol, technically i wasnt 'work' working today, i was supposed to be putting new doors on my lockup.

Woke up with a stinking headache, so couldnt be bothered lol

[wisewood]

Site was down until about 1:30am, got to bed about 2am, needless tosay I was very tired getting up for work this morning.

You really should have enlisted my help. You're still scared I'll spill stuff again aren't you :roll:

[Lee]

Well, dan ended up with PC issues, and we suspect it was the remains of a crusty pie clogging up the keyboard!

[kevw]

You're still scared I'll spill stuff again aren't you :roll:

Watching you (albeit unknowingly) pour a bottle of beer over one of my beloved turntables is a scary experience!. tbh I was more worried about the record that was on there lol

[wisewood]

Vinyl surely, by its very nature, is a wipe clean product? Hence vinyl floors etc lol

Was a good night that! up until the afore-mentioned unwitting beer pouring incident obviously. Seemed to happen dead quick for me, suppose it was all slow motion for you - wondering why i wasnt moving faster to stop it lol

Still - you lot broke a brand new sofa at my wedding reception :thumb:

[Nick J]

Well done to admin and all involved its great to see the site getting better and better and becoming a proper club too! excellent news! :thumb:

[kevw]

Yea the vinyl would be OK but the label would have gone all rippley and come off lol

I wasn't involved in the couch breaking! I think I was at the bar with Alex drinking copious amounts of Sambuca!

[Lee]

Well done to admin and all involved its great to see the site getting better and better and becoming a proper club too! excellent news! :thumb:

We're all very pleased with the reaction, at the end of the day were doing this for everyone, and it makes it feel very worthwhile when the idea gets greeted with open arms. :thumb:

[wisewood]

I wasn't involved in the couch breaking! I think I was at the bar with Alex drinking copious amounts of Sambuca!

lol I didn't think you lot drank all that much that night. Though i don't remember very much of it myself, i was properly wasted. Had people telling me i spoke to people I swear i never met and stuff.

[Aamir]

Well Done admin !

I've always felt novaload was a chavvy name & irrelavant these days as most novas are owned by enthusiasts not chavs.

Stereotypes are changing people ;)

[wisewood]

chavs weren't invented yet when kev created novaload lol

[NovaLad]

Aye but for the chavs that are out there does this mean can't be in the club lol

[Mike]

Novalad, whats with the signature? Why are all you young ones obessed with PNG and the storys/shows/meets etc that surround it?

Were you even about when PNG was going, let alone came to an end so to speak?

[NovaLad]

Because i wasn't around when it was going so everything about it is a mystery to me and i'm very interested in finding out about it lol

[Jack]

I did wonder why there are three links to the same site in your sig....

methinks we may have another pvgevents sriboi here lol

[NovaLad]

methinks we may have another pvgevents sriboi here lol

Please explain lol

[Mike]

Because i wasn't around when it was going so everything about it is a mystery to me and i'm very interested in finding out about it lol

get over it lol i wasnt around when elvis was alive, doesnt mean i give a monkeys about him

theres not much to know tbh lol

[Mike]

Please explain lol

doesnt matter lol lol lol :thumb:

[NovaLad]

oh kay

[Kinky Monza]

Aye but for the chavs that are out there does this mean can't be in the club lol


That has GOT to include you then!!!

[NovaLad]

What makes you think i'm a chav ...

Please give a good reason to why i'm a chav ?

Maby your a chav... I don't know...

And what is a chav? Someone that wears tracksuite bottoms?

Or is it someone that wheres there hat vertical to the back of there head whilst wearing burberry.

Does this mean just because of something that someone wears that they are a chav?

My dad wears jeans all the time and on holiday he mite wear tracksuite bottoms does this make him ma chav.

Don't lable someone as a chav when you don't know what a chav is.

[draper]

CHAV is attitude, you posts/threads about 1.2s being bester than polos etc :thumb:

[Mike]

OMG :roll:

[NovaLad]

CHAV is attitude, you posts/threads about 1.2s being bester than polos etc :thumb:
I was simply asking if a 1 litre would be quicker than my 1.2 nova as that is what my mate had said and i don't allways rely on what my mates say so i asked for a better opinion to if they was quicker...

I then got then answer his may be quicker because it's a newer engine so that gave me the answer that i would belive as it came from people on here that know alot about cars.

So because i asked a question about how quick a car is i'm now a chav?

Ok then so anybody that from now on asks how quick a car is they are a chav.

[draper]

chavs dont use punctuation either, evidence b m'lord

[Lee]

Calm down. If you remember correctly you were run off the site last time by a group of girls. All your doing is irritating people.

Learn to laugh at yourself, or your going to continue to have a tough time on here.



(damn my new responsibilities lol )

You REALLY don't want to pick a fight with me!

As BT says, if you can laugh at yourself, you can laugh at anything, don't cry and pick up your dummy! :roll:

[wisewood]

blah blah blah. Lee... kill lol

[Kinky Monza]

[Lee]

Shot myself in the foot here, cant take the p1ss half as much now LMAO

[wisewood]

my days of being newest admin b*tch are well and truely over :D

[Ernie]

Looking good admin Yay the png is back....

[Martin]

Does this mean that PVG/PVG/Novaload are all one club/forum or is pvg stil seperate?

great news tho.. got a text from an old skool pnger i know asking me if its true, hes not to botherd about the idea as he now has a club of his own..

at the end of the day, NL was just like a Kroooze forum litterd with rubbish from young/chavy type peeple askin the same things over and over again, and it got the to point were i stoped using the site as much as i was gettin into trouble for stuff i was saying when reading the many "how do i do this" threads in every other section every day..

hence the reason i joined jov and was on there stand at pv BUT i stil came other at spoke/met the "main" posters on nl etc and i'm stil part of the club, just not as into it as i want to be, and i cant realy see my self gettin 100% back into with all these 8yr olds on the site..give me **** all you want but thats just the way it is..


all these young/chavs need to gettin a funkin life..


oh and pv was a disspointment there was a hell of a lotmore chavs then last year.. and that **** in the corsa C with his boot open bhind my tent with ****ty tunes on at 3.30am, i have he liked the chicken steak i wiped all over his car while he was sleeping, just wish i had a spud i could a stuck it up his tailpipe lol


also(yes it continues) Novalad/vaughan/flashbang wallop etc theres alot of friendly banter/piss takes that goes on, on the site.. just learn to live with it..or u know there the Close button is...


and with BTs point of laughin at your self its right.. i'm fat at the end of the day, and i get told it by peeps that dont kno, me.. i just laff at them i say i kno.. and then they duno what to say..


no stop funkin moanin get over it.. etc

[vaughanmc]

I don't mind the piss takes lol they don't bother me one bit

Some fair points there Martin! :)

[Lee]

Does this mean that PNG/PVG/Novaload are all one club/forum or is pvg stil seperate?


We are totally seperate to PVG. Only the name was adopted.

[Spudly]

Well said martin lol im glad you didnt realise that there was actually a spud rather close to you and directly behind the gimp in the corsa (grrrrrrrrr) and decide to insert me into the exhaust lol, likin the idea of png now even though i wasnt into the vauxhall scene back in the pvg/png days i used to be gay and liked fords lol (i saw the light in the end tho)

[Martin]

Thought mate, just needed it clearing up..

Excellent news guys well done :) I did the original www.png.co.uk (http://www.png.co.uk) waaay back in 1998, and it's great to see some of it live on in 'The Nova' page :) Will have to see what else I've got stashed away on an old hard drive somewhere. Can't believe that was almost 10 years ago! I remember the domain name was well over ?100 :lol:

[martweaver]

I'm a little late with this bit nice one!!! Really pleased to hear the PNG will be revived. I joined in 1998 when I bought my car and the atmosphere & shows have never been the same since it staeted to fizzle out into the PCC & PVG.

Great stuff guys :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

PS - I would hereby like to put 1st dibs on Proby's old special membership number which was (old school members test time!) 007!!

Let me know where to send the cheque :)

This is the problem with a once great migweb, hence increased popularity of vauxsport

[wisewood]

Note the inclusion of the "Articles" link up at the top - so that guides can be put together for the most commonly asked questions :D

We used to have this 'back in the day' but it was lost for one reason or another quite a while ago.

yea i remember the articles..
like the rear abr debate..
heated seats
lowering

and so on...

[wisewood]

exactly. There are probably quite a few threads scattered about that could almost be copy/pasted to provide a how-to-guide on some key aspects.

[Jack]

I've got a thread I wrote a while back (but never posted) when I was bored at work with data about the nova models and etc, similar to the guide I had on here years ago but in more depth... worth having as an article?

[wisewood]

sounds good. PM it to me if you've got it handy.

[Jack]

I'll dig it out and tidy it up a bit - might be across a couple of PMs, its a tad long lol

[wisewood]

lol no problem. email instead if you want. I'll pm you my email address.
