Both Keith robinsons super builds, but John of here had a smashing pouder blue running a small block Eco tec, sooo long ago. It was featured in max power or total vauxhall, can't remember which. It was a really nice car and always comes to mind.

There are two close favourites from over the years. Martin Hills which has been mentioned many times already and the other that got me hooked on Nova's was "Project Proby" from back in the Max Power days.

Too many to chose from but here's my top 5 ish..
Bretts peppermint.
Dave Marshalls blue mk1.
Karl Rowntrees red mk1
Martin Kelsons mk1 face lift Bentley violet.
Nick carrows black GSi.

Pretty sure Martin Kelson's is a genuine Gsi.

Nick Caro's was a mk1 SR IIRC.

I am sure this is the one local to me. It was for sale on ebay for 10k and does knockhill in just under a minute :eek:. I saw the car in the flesh last year and bodywise it looked a wee bit rough but bet its still a beast :d.
