So how many admit to driving a nova?

I always tell people what I drive. Although when the nova Gsi was my daily the reactions weren't as bad as now , when they ask what I have and I say, a gte nova a Gsi nova a 1.2 shell (none of which work lol) and a Gsi astra..... Why don't you take finance an get something decent? Emm.... Because anything built after 2000/01 (with a few exceptions) is a horrible eurobox that everyone else drives, and will cost an absolute fortune to fix WHEN it shats itself.

In work last night a fella shook his head in pity when the astra key wouldn't turn ( slightly bent key) . He then proceeded to tell me that vauxhalls were ****, and I should buy a bm. 1 year ago he bought an e39 530i touring for 7000. He asked me recently if I knew anyone that would give him 3500 for it. I paid 1000 for the astra gsi, in one year there is something seriously wrong if it isn't worth the same

I always tell people i have/drive one.

I always have to think for a minute when someone asks what car I drive, so bloody many that I forget what I'm in sometimes! I'm more than happy to admit that I've got two Novas :thumb:

If I wanted to get financed up to the eyeballs for a (yawn) new motor, I would... But where would the fun be in that?

The lads at work like to have a mickey on me for lil' China but when I look down the line of motors outside I feel proud :)

Kinda hard to miss what I drive, seeing as it looks like sh!t and goes even worse lol

The old 'why don't you get something decent' phrase. I know a few people from work that have the BMW Mini, Peugeot Convertible and Cooper S convertible and they've had far more problems than the Nova.

I tell them to get something more reliable... like a Nova lol

i love telling peeps i have one. when i was sat on my training day the ask what car i have i said i own a nova GTE am restoring and drive a new shape astra sri. after i had mentioned the nova i had about 5 peeps ask all sorts about it and it was like the astra had just flew strait over there head 's. i always get asked after were can they look to get one as they wood love one again i just send them here of ebay.

Jack came to pick me up from work (Police HQ) once in the baby blue bandit and I had people looking out the windows asking what the hell it was that was sat outside slowely rattling itself to pieces. poot poot. lol

Id love to get one if I had enough money/spare room. Id get a nice salooooon. Ive had 6 cars in 6 years and my favourite was always my very 1st car which was a likkle 1.1 beige fiesta. Something about older cars that give them more character than new ones.

I do remember having a conversation with Jack once about him picking which car to turn up in on our 1st date.
(he picked the Celica) :p

would that be the conversation that went along the lines of


Me: would you have gone for another date if i turned up in the nova?
You: no
Me: thought not
