Visited my nova after six months!!!

When I started uni in Oct I left my nova in the care of my good friend Colin. He's been storing it and looking after it for the past 6 months and i finally made time to go round and say hello today. I'm sooo glad I didn't sell it!!! Took it for a spin, on a private road, and it was amazing! So direct and raw, reminded me why I love it so much (argh!!) Anyway here's a couple of pics, nothing's changed but I have a new camera so thought I'd whore a little bit. :D

Glorious. It won me over watching you in it at Llandow back in August. Looked plenty quick esp as its a 1.6 compared with all the XE's in track Novas now.

Still looking great oli. Any track days planned?

The speed also put a smile on my face today, I've got used to Astra 1.7td and Calibra Ecowreck pace :eek:

Nice one Oli, didn't know you were going to be local - else we could have met up, as I was out for a blast in the Nova today too lol

As above really - got any days planned? Are you going to be at Combe? jeeez - two weeks today!

Looking as lightweight as ever :cool: lol

picture 2 looks like a golf! the wings are very bulgey and i do like the motorsport look you have created. it is a very pretty track day nova.

i don't really have any plans for this year, the only thing I have booked is PV :( Not sure what i'll be able to afford, maybe some trackdays over summer as I'll be earning then! I may show my face at combe but the nova won't be there I don't think. I have a garage sorted at uni for next year so I'll be able to crack on with development of the car, there are hundreds of little (and some big) jobs that I've been putting off for ages!

Bloody right it's staying smallblock! Big jobs like getting the wings, bonnet and boot painted properly, dry sumping it and a diffuser, splitter and flat-floor.
Glad team smallblock will have at least one representative! :)
