actually no, vikki bought the nova and spent a grand or something on it and the other person (was it clarkson?) had something like a rover with a massive engine in it but the nova just out did it on the corners.

not my taste though
Has he still got that!? LOL
ye hes still got it, well did earlier this year, doubt he'l ever sell it. its locked up most of the time tho but now and then during spring and summer ul see it driving about.
obviously now the styling of it is a bit crappy, but at the time it was such an awesome car and achievement. and he has driven MILES and MILES in that thing and it still looks as good as it did all those years ago.
lol i used to always see lances car in oldham , and then again on rochdale town hall "cruises" lol
never did like it though , the rear arches just wasnt right lol
that was up the road from me lol - was a vauxhall garage too!!!!Quote:

Just been reading through this thread. Its amazing especially with me being a slightly more mature nova owner. The vicki butler henderson nova was pretty cool. Ive still got the vhs tape (burning rubber) of her racing clarkson in the 5.2 litre rover v8. He got away from her in the straights but in the corners the nova was outstanding. Will need to post the pics of my old novas.
Probably so rotten it blew away in the wind! lolQuote:

Reg Vardy Shiremoor? A friend used to work there when it happend, he did explain how the fool did it but can't remember howQuote:

makes me sad seeing all these old pictures, had my 1st gte for 7 years then sold it to a young guy and it died 6 months later!!!!
wish i'd kept it, had blydenstein b+ head on, really flew for a 1600
yep, know the feeling, i owned my first nova for 3 years and spent thousands on it. I then traded it in for a piece of jap crap and saw it 2 weeks later running a set of tsw venoms. I felt obliged to stop the new owner and tell him what a good car it was!!!!!!
lol TSW venoms, the utimate old skool rim!!

Its 'At full throttle' I think you will find. :thumb:Quote:

Video you are refering to
those w/a tb's still sound schweet.
Quite suprised I haven't seen any pics of Kingdom's P1NKY on this thread - doesn't tickle my pickle much but was a 'cool' car back in t'day!
I have loads of pics from Donny/PVS and of my old Nova (Mk1 SR) dating back to 2000 on floppy discs somewhere - will see if I can find a working floppy reader and get them up! :D
I see C888HEV on here. Where's that old fart Gravestock? (that'll get him out!)
Nice to see me on here too.....
I can feel another "Rob's Rantings" coming on.....

PNG Lifer / Goldie No.50 in a previous life!
Just had a good look through this thread, blast from the past! Seen the photos of mine and cant believe its been 6 years since i rebuilt it!
As for my car, you wont of seen it for awhile as its been living in Germany at the Nurburgring. Did the best part of 150 laps round there, having one engine rebuild in the process plus countless other parts. Now have a golf gti out there so home came the nova. Did silverstone in it this year and realised it needs a few bits doing so its off the road until next year then it will be back purely as a track day car, gone are the days of me doing show and shine with it.
Had a few pretty decent cars over the past few years but still have the nova as its easily the most fun...
Just got myself a 1960 splitscreen camper which i am currently restoring, will be mint one day just like the nova was, just takes a bit more time and money than the nova;)
See you all at a track day near you.
Karl
^^ was great seein it at trax mate, hopefully see it again
Cool!! towbar with Nova on trailor??Quote:

Both will be at the shows this year, should be a good year i hope...
Splitscreen Camper sounds awesome. I take it you'll be making us all cup's of tea and scone's in the back then? Fnck yeah!
Keith
No cups of tea, just Bitburgers and large smokes if you know what i mean being served out the back of this one;) You should take a look at the air cooled vdub scene, very chilled and people really push to be different, just when you think you have seen it all something new comes along.
Talking of old skool, wish i had got myself a camper when i bought my nova... The damn thing would be worth a fortune now!
Glad i kept mine though, if you look on the forums all the old owners who sold theirs, tried other cars etc are now buying nova's again and building mint one's, should be a good year!
Wish i had known Rick had put his nova up forsale (Gary Hopes old one) I would of bought that car especially for what he was asking! One car i would of really liked in my garage...
Karl
Your Nova is one of my favourite ones Karl, will it make it on the show scene in 2008 ?
