Some of those pics bring back memories!!
VPCC day at Trentham Gardens, John HIltons Nova, Siemon Bellis nova was there too i believe?? (this show was on the day Princess Diana died i think, remeber hearing it on the radio drivig to the show....??)
Damian Pitmans, the rusty rocket, Bretts, Martin Kelsons, Martin Weavers, Karls........
Ramis... i remember that day to!! 17" BBS style rims nice!! That was at York i think, i went in mine on the Sat and my mums on the Sunday... On the saturday me and Damian got done for speeding 100+ but got let off and the copper did us for 90mph 3 points and a fine!! pheww!!
DIY?? where the pics of the wide arch Nova, the Sprint kit arches etc?? Rob Smith (Spiderman) has this kit for his spider i believe??
As for my mums Red 1992 K GSi its still mint all original apart from GForce Sport 200 disk and pads (cheaper to but than Vaux O.E stuff!!) and a JP exhaust....
Rick Draper, it had a bump up front which was sorted and while it was being repaired it had 2 new inner wings and wings, bonnet, front panel, grill, and it had a new rear panel fitted while it was there as it was getting rusty!! (no rear end shunt!!) the following year Adrian Culley gave it a full respray due to traditional red paint fade!! The car at the mo hasn't turned a wheel for ages, its been in the garage a home and its plugged into the mains with one of those draper charger jobbies, and it fires up perfectly when ever ive tried it!!
If someone offers the right money it will be sold!! if not i might use it
Howell!! you going to show your face soon?!?!!
Cheers
Nick
I would love some BBS wheels like Ramis, cost a mint though. Sorry Nick was just going of what people had told me! Rick

Think Rami was from Leeds way? His yellow one did indeed die, someone said he put an Xe in it and it fell to bits? lol

This has got to be the best thread ive seen on novaload to date. Its good to look back at the good old days, when i was a lad etc :lol:
Dave, the nova G296 SGS, is that the one taht was featured many years ago in fast car? It was a joint feature with a red valver? The car had nitrous on it, 13 engine and was quiker than the valver! Got me started that car did.
Allso the black one is pete neals car isnt it, or was it matt neal? i allways got his name wrong. Would be intresting to find where most of these novas are now.
Karl
Well done karl ! - It's not true that you lose your memory, the older you get LOLQuote:

those pics bring back memories breeny. That was a great day out at powerzone. I was a little disappointed with the power of my GSi, but it was a good turnout and Ebony made us all forget about the cold weather!! :lol:

Ahh the Fast Car featured one - Gotcha.
Another one to watch out for this year (If it's done in time) is this one - It's being TOTALLY stripped down and rebuilt much like Brett W's was - down to the last bolt!!
I'm not going to say who's it is or the plans for it as I've been asked not to - So if people do know then please don't say!! :-

Yep thats the kiddie, lost its Alessios many moons ago (before I got it).
Cheers.

how annoying does all that sound? lol.
Raceline RL7's - dont think they're available at the moment. Could try Courtenay for a set as they were supplying them at one point...
Not sure on price..
