    Happy Birthday, some say......life starts at 40.

    I'm not far off 40 either. The good thing about getting older is you care less so when all the 20 year olds laugh at my old Nova I don't care.

    (apart from when I take off and beat thier fiesta/eurobox-aparently you never quite grow up)

    Seriously though, you get loads of looks and often asked if it's for sale etc, had some boys sitting in traffic the other day in a new corsa with all the spoilers etc. The only thing I heard was "that is so cool, a cool nova bud" as they were chatting to each other.

    The suprising thing is that even school kids know what a nova is even though they haven't been built in 20 years. How many rememeber the fiat Uno?

    Happy birthday Martin - you've still a year to go to catch me !!

    At least you've got a nova to drive - I don't think mine will be ready by the time I reach 50 !!!

    Belated happy birthday dude, get out and enjoy your nova, i reckon that life does indeed begin at forty, as youve probably built or paid off your toys by now, and get cheap enough insurance to be able to actually afford proper toys to drive
