    Can't believe you've bought this. One of my
    all time favourite novas and one that got me into the damn things.

    Stunning car, glad it's in safe hands. Shame the reg has changed, is there a reason why the old one was taken off?

    The Reg is Mark Watts personal plate, MAP18W (spelling MARKW). It's on his Astra VXR and was on his VX220 before that.

    I got the car on it's original E reg, and bought the A20 TBN for it (A 2.0 Turbo Nova)

    Ah never realised it said his name, that's fair enough then although it's a shame because everyone knows the car with that reg but it's still an amazing car to own. Very jealous of it!

    Car made 238BHP at Dyno tune today. Thanks to Steven Gault for the power run.

    The car was always touted as having 240bhp in all the 90's mags. So glad to see the engine is in great health.

    Some photos from yesterday:

    Good healthy power. Perfect for enjoyment and use.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce
