Black nova saloon 4 door on white wheels in Lincoln reg F807MFG
Was spotted driving down tritton road on Saturday night.
Long time viewing, but possibly my first post here. I see Nova's on the road, as we all do, but only tend to get excited about them if they are half decent.
Saw this on the road a few months back, kept it to myself for a while as I had pulled it over and had quite a lengthy chat with the owner. We exchanged details and agreed that it would be mine for a fair price when his doctor told him to surrender his license. Its been 3 or 4 months now though so hope is fading.
He bought it new, and has it serviced every 4 months at the main dealer. Its an absolute cracker, on 100k, but not showing it.
Hey ho, might be mine one day.
Saw this today in Tesco car park, had a poke around and decided I wanted it.
Left a note on it, worded as they always are. "if this car either is.... or could be for sale please call Craig on 07....", but then after my shopping I spotted from a mile away that the boot was open so got myself over there quick.
Chatted to the elderly couple, who agreed that no power steering was taking its toll, and persuaded them to paperclip my note to the log book, as I always do.
Saw it again on the road a few hours later, looks great.
Got a mint Astra Mk2 SXi 3dr on my books too, but sadly not had a call from that one either.
Followed the old bird home on the sly right to her garage, got talking to her and again left my number. Even carried her shopping in for her.

I did that once with a mini that my partner wanted and I felt like a car thiefOriginally Posted by Benn
And I never got a phone call either
Sounds like the dude from 'counting cars' on the history channel
There's been times iv seen elderly people driving old Vauxhalls id like to of snatched off them but never followed them home for a chat, something I may do next time.
Also that white GTE looks a beauty on the pic. Good spot
I always do, as I see them so often in scrap yards when the owner has obviously deemed them worthless.
The woman in the mk2 Astra was amazed that I could want such a car, the only reason she was still driving it was because she "knew it wasn't worth selling".
I have had loads of cars this way.

Spotted this today, well actually went to see it...
Not sure whether to buy it or not!?!
Sadly it's crazy how many people think their car is worthless cause it's old...
