    Mike, no offence but your anti nova comments are getting borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring.

    If I had the money I buy what ever the Fuc.k I want not what someone on the internet tells me to, or how much I should be paying.

    One more things, Fords are ****e.

    Jap >>> Fords

    We all have our different poisons I guess! Im a huge fan of the series one also. After owning series two and fiesta turbos its the only one that has eluded me as I could find one good enough for what I wanted to spend at the time. But getting back to this......... My point is the cars were from a similar era and originally priced not too far apart for similar model specs. The only thing that seperates them now is person choice and desirability but I see no reason why a person owning a rare immaculate example of a nova shouldnt ask strong money as someone will pay it even if the seller has to wait a while! But I will agree to disagree with you on this one Mike!

    Im not anti Nova, just a realist. If I was anti Nova, I wouldnt have fúcking owned several would I you plank, nor would I still be here or attend shows surround by loads of them.

    If Fords are as ****e as you say, please tell my why Escort Cosworth's STILL fetch £18k, an RS Turbos upto £8k hell even R5 GTT's go for £3k upwards along with 205 GTi's.

    And please, where have I TOLD anyone what to buy, just merely opening options as to what the best part of eigth thousand pounds of your hard earned cash can buy you, as oppose to a GM.

    But hey, I forgot a lot of people on here must be deluded as they've only owned GM;s thus only know how Vauxhalls work, so everthing else is crap. Sorry, my bad.

    i think a lot of it is to do with how big the following is...i think the ford following is a lot bigger than the vauxhall one

    Nick.
    Exactly Nick, my point being, I never grew up wanting a Nova, it wasnt my dream car. I wanted 205 GTi's, R5 GTT's, RS Turbos. They were the cars to have when I was young, hence me never really wanting a Nova so to speak.

    But apparently that makes me anti Nova F Yeah ok, Novas seem to be going up in price slightly now, but other marques have rocketed due to there childhood dream appeal, an probably rarer then Nova's now.

    I was disappointed as I always thought it was a genuine sport I'd put 7k towards a 911 turbo

    youre still not making sense, and escorts still fetch over 10k because people on the ford scene have money, vauxhall scene is budget based hence why when a thread like this pops up everyone is like OMFG

    and if vauxhalls are so **** why are you wasting your time, surely be better to invest in a ford?

    How am I not making sense?? LMAO of course thers money in the GM how else would you sell a Nova for £7k if there wasnt, hell do you think all these Cossie owners actually drive there cars? Do they **** on the whole, Ive read numerous threads on RSOC & even MLR about people having to SORN the pride & joy because they cant afford to run it anymore.

    Where did I say Vauxhalls in general are shÃ*t? The newer ones are pretty good cars, just built cheap unfortunatly.
