I would miss hooning around in it on warm, sunny days. Definently would.

But as you said, its just money sitting in my parents drive. Last year i paid £500 insurance and £230 tax, and drove it about 5 times, total of about 600mile.
That cost i do not miss.


Anyways, im off work this week, planning on a trip to the scrappy as im after some astra bits, also might rip the shifter out of a cav/astra too. So I can sort the shifter out sometime.

Going charge the batt up, stick some fuel in, get some air in the tyres, and see if it'll start too.
Shame i cant drive it, because it really needs it!

Nah, the big block is what makes it a giggle. lol lol

I dunno, i reckon the x18xe1 in the Astra would be amazing on tbs in a nova!

I hate money, its the route of all evil... actually I hate Nova's, they create the evil that needs the money lol

Sad times though Adam hopefully you come into some spare funds, I've been in a similar situation money wise but the Nova's my only car so no choice but to run it into the ground, my arches are looking sorry for themselves after the winter :(

I am hoping things pick up and i can put some money back into it.
