I dunno, maybe I'm being a tool but imagine going to the school to pick up 2 of your kids in a Nova.
Our nova done school trip (2 kids) many 100's times. Secondary school was lot further away so annual nova mileage shot up.

I'm 35 and a Corsa B is my project / weekend car and I drive it to work all the time in the summer, couldn't really care less what people think, my wife doesn't car and thats pretty much the only opinion I would listen too.

Too old, hmmm.
Mine is a full blown stage rally car, my other toys are a 911 and GT6.
And my age, well the Queen was still a teenager when I was born.
( Your only as old as the person your feeling )
Nice car ownership you have, get some pictures up please ;)Quote:

i never owned a gte or gsi and to this day I’d still love one regardless of my age.... I made plenty of basic Novas quick and that was the enjoyment for me.
GSi ownership isn't all it's cracked up to be. Although I owned mine for the longest out of all my Nova's, it was the lardy one of the 4, heavy doors, loads of sound deadening. But it still had that iconic badge on the side.
The current car on the other hand. Weights as much as a crisp packet and now has all the GSi roll bars on so hands has well and feels as quick (as I remember) as the GSi, just runs out of steam at about 40mph. Lol
I own an A4, and i can safely say the aforementioned is totally inaccurate lol been Novaless maybe 10 years now.Quote:

The post is about being too old to own a Nova, not suitability of one based on your circumstances?Quote:

hello nova-rally, I will try to send you pictures of my cars!!
I don’t get the whole “too old” “I should have this and that instead”Quote:

I honestly couldn’t care any less if I tried to about what people think of what I drive or how I drive them.
I hammer the bollocks off all of mine,always have done and always will.
Should I stop because I’m at an age where people buy something more sensible? What is sensible? I have an Astra diesel and I still hammer the balls off that when I want.
I play hard house anthems and bonkers/dizstruxshon in them too.So what? Lol
Perhaps I should buy a Passat diesel estate and listen to Dad rocks bullshit cd’s?
I don’t fucking think so
Well looking deeper into this I think I've just grown out of them, the reason I know this is I swapped it for an SRi Cavalier so it could be the mystery solved. Lol
I was being questioned as to why I'd want an old Nova over 15 years ago. Didn't care then, certainly don't now.
Agree with everything.Quote:

There is a PB work around
There is a plug in for Firefox (PC browser) that circumvents the PB issue a treat. [emoji108]Quote:
