Aye, i used to get rid and say never again, it like waking up after a heavy night and hungover to hell, you always swear youre never gonna drink that much again but you always do lol


Ive given up on the idea that ill ever be free of a nova and just accepted it, hence why mines now in storage and a project :thumb:

true, 8624 at the minute, but the speedo drive broke 1/2 mile from billing, and i did about 60 miles with no speedo attached.. the engine is on about 150k and has been in 4 different novas

do you think it would be flippant to book it in for its 9000 mile service at the dealers...

you've had one for what, a year????

i drove my first one in 1986, was without one for about a year in 1992/3, got cravings & bought a 1.2 in parchment, kept that till 2003, scrapped it, i bought my current one in april 2000 with 7800 on the clock & then three kids turned up to wreck my chances of getting it on the road till last year. I don't do big miles in her, but I love every single one... my eldest daughter, molly, aged 11, has announced that she is intending to have a nova as her first car...

Awww thats ace, but also means more heartache for you trying to source a decent solid one for her when the time comes lol
