I'm house sitting in Winchester with my other half at the mo. So i have to come home in the morning to pick up my work van, so i'm using the Nova all week. Been a while since it's been a full daily driver.
But you know what? i'm frigging loving it!!
Is only about 20miles each way, but at 7am the back roads i use are nice and quite so i can just rip dow them. Lots of boost a few hand brake corners too.
Best bit is im getting great mpg too.. hahaha
But the other morning i had to drive home, wash the car before putting it in the garage and going to work... As the whole front was covered in bird sh*t. There must of been a whole flock in a tree.. Wasn't happy!
Winning 4 light force spot lights on the bay for a whopping 120
You what? You used it? AND let birds **** on it?!?!?! You bad man!!!!Quote:

Starting up the Nova today, first time since Billing.
Went out for a drive up to Matlock Bath in the Spider. Weather was great so had the roof down. Parked up on the front where all the bikes park, god knows how but I managed to get a space straight away.
It attracted a bit of attention from passers by :)
Carried on over to Ashbourne on some great roads and stopped at a nice pub with the wife for lunch. Got back to the car and it would not start lol I think the starter is duff. Luckily I had parked at the top of the carpark so stuck it in reverse, rolled it back down the hill and bump started it :)
Go it home OK to find a guy parked on the front in a VXR8 with £400 in his pocket for my spare front splitter left over from when I had the 888 :)
going on holiday to the spain tonight cant wait iam going to keep eye out for novas as well if I see any I take pics :)
Picked up a new engine for the nova...recently rebuilt 20seh with head work, piper cam and pulley, loom and ecu.
Just need a few bits (see wanted section) before it goes in the nova.
car passed its mot
Walked out my job as a valeter last week. Expected to be jobless for ages but start at my new job building engines on Monday!
I left for vacation from today. Tomorrow will be my wedding, then next week we travel to Turkey.
Started the bodywork today. Last of the jobs before it goes for MOT/tax and alarm

Getting a new tyre fitted to my sr! It puts it back on the road so well chuffed :d
i sorted our trusty old dumper truck today, it had been royally abused by various staff members who think the magic trade-in fairy is getting us a new one...it had its steering column pulled out of the steering box, shagging the column & the steering box seal in the process, its been thrashed from cold, with no attempt at cleaning any muck off it, and its aircooled, so one of the heads blew a gasket.
so i rebuilt the steering, fitted a new replacement column i found for £70+vat, when the genuine ones are more like £300
pulled the blowing head off, cleaned it up, fitted a new head gasket & shims!!!!, if you want to see a crazy engine, look at a lister
took all the outer panels off, straightened them by hitting them with a digger, put them back on..
used the gas on the drawbar to straighten it cos the digger couldn't reach.
sawed the tailpipe off the exhaust cos someone flattened it..
so our pile of [s]crap is now worth several grand & ready to go out on hire again.
like TJ once said, i really need to get a copy of the 'A team' music for when we get spannering.. i love workshop saturdays
32 miles with the retro boys round the don river in doncaster, start point was the prison so we entitled the ride 'Escape from Doncatraz' lol
The sea view from my hotel in Cyprus
Butterscotch angel delight
Consecutively catching 3 wasps under up-turned pint glasses in the pub garden, then before leaving turning every other glass upside down and watching the barmaid gingerly play the game.
I'm easily amused though. :roll:
Ripped out one of those **** ripspeed DVD flip out screens and fitted the standard stereo
the kids all went out at the same time.
so for the 1st time in a very long time, me & the mrs were alone in our house.............
Is this code for summat...? lolQuote:
