I always say i drive one... Funk them.
My car is my own, theirs are normally on credit.
I pay for everything i do up front with my money, they put it on plastic..
My car owes me nothing. Theirs are costing them every day on interest.
Who's the fool?

I prefer to admit I owned a nova then say I own a couple of corsa's an a couple of vans :s
I love driving mine! Gets alot of attention for all the right reasons
If anyone asks, i just say its a valver, but im running it in so cant rag it, instant street cred lol
I went to an Evo meet with my mate the other week. I was praying nobody asked what i drove. God knows why. I guess its the age old stigma thats attached to them.
On the flip side i went to get a quote for getting my wheels refurbed, when he asked what they were for i told him, oh a Nova....not your usual chavved up car park racer mind. He laughed. Not sure if it was with me or at me lol.
at you not with you lol
Don't give a monkeys t*ss about what people think. Whoever asks me what I drive I tell 'em, don't care.
At the end of the day, whatever they drive the LET will take 'em lol
lol cnut.Quote:

I always tell people what I drive. Although when the nova Gsi was my daily the reactions weren't as bad as now , when they ask what I have and I say, a gte nova a Gsi nova a 1.2 shell (none of which work lol) and a Gsi astra..... Why don't you take finance an get something decent? Emm.... Because anything built after 2000/01 (with a few exceptions) is a horrible eurobox that everyone else drives, and will cost an absolute fortune to fix WHEN it shats itself.
In work last night a fella shook his head in pity when the astra key wouldn't turn ( slightly bent key) . He then proceeded to tell me that vauxhalls were ****, and I should buy a bm. 1 year ago he bought an e39 530i touring for 7000. He asked me recently if I knew anyone that would give him 3500 for it. I paid 1000 for the astra gsi, in one year there is something seriously wrong if it isn't worth the same
I always tell people i have/drive one.
I always have to think for a minute when someone asks what car I drive, so bloody many that I forget what I'm in sometimes! I'm more than happy to admit that I've got two Novas :thumb:
If I wanted to get financed up to the eyeballs for a (yawn) new motor, I would... But where would the fun be in that?
The lads at work like to have a mickey on me for lil' China but when I look down the line of motors outside I feel proud :)
Kinda hard to miss what I drive, seeing as it looks like sh!t and goes even worse lol
The old 'why don't you get something decent' phrase. I know a few people from work that have the BMW Mini, Peugeot Convertible and Cooper S convertible and they've had far more problems than the Nova.
I tell them to get something more reliable... like a Nova lol
prezactly! i just tell them show me your car when its 25 years old...and tell me it will be in as good conditionQuote:

i love telling peeps i have one. when i was sat on my training day the ask what car i have i said i own a nova GTE am restoring and drive a new shape astra sri. after i had mentioned the nova i had about 5 peeps ask all sorts about it and it was like the astra had just flew strait over there head 's. i always get asked after were can they look to get one as they wood love one again i just send them here of ebay.
Jack came to pick me up from work (Police HQ) once in the baby blue bandit and I had people looking out the windows asking what the hell it was that was sat outside slowely rattling itself to pieces. poot poot. lol
Id love to get one if I had enough money/spare room. Id get a nice salooooon. Ive had 6 cars in 6 years and my favourite was always my very 1st car which was a likkle 1.1 beige fiesta. Something about older cars that give them more character than new ones.
I do remember having a conversation with Jack once about him picking which car to turn up in on our 1st date.
(he picked the Celica) :p
would that be the conversation that went along the lines of
Me: would you have gone for another date if i turned up in the nova?
You: no
Me: thought not
That would be the fact that youre actually driving a car as opposed to pressing buttons and going along for the ride as you do with a new car lolQuote:

when i was in my saloon i always got
"if you have to have a nova why don't you get a normal one, not one a granny would have"
Yep. I thought "I'll have something small and not pigmyfaceout, something light OH MIXED GRILLNOMNOMNOMNOM". Whoops lolQuote:

i admit i drive a nova, doesnt bother me if folk laugh. plenty novas around my area anyway
funk them all lol
i always admit to owning my novas and show the pics off as often as i can and i honestly cant remember the last time i got a negative comment.
i dont really get negative comments either dude most people love them i found!! my mates take the piss but they like her really lol
i think it's brill owning a nova & you always get a thumbs up when you see other nova's on the road.
(i promise its not the middle finger) lol
I often tell people I drive a Nova, most people say "A Nova!?! I aint seen one of them in ages" and ask more details about it then tell me their mother/dad/brother/gran had one years ago.
A while ago I picked up some mates from a pub and a guy came up to me and was saying "Wow I used to have a few of these, GSi's GTE's SR's" and asked if he could take a pic of mine, no idea why he wanted a pic as it had more holes than a tea bag lol.
Edit: I also always say new cars have no character (which most don't) but I love driving a mates Insignia estate and the 56 reg (I think) Vectra estate he had before was nice to drive too, both cars have had a small block 16v in the back and still pulled like a train, Insignia is much nicer to drive though, I love it.
