Aye, its just the novas I've seen around here are all chavved up, I'm not criticizing other opinions, we've all got out own. I just thought it seemed a bit of a waist

All ill say is I will not chav up my Hyundai it will stay a more or less standard car after hearing about that nova, I'll do a bit of work to it but not to extremes

Same here...

Not only that, but lets face it, very few cars built after the 70's will ever be a "Real" classic... They are built too cheaply, and in to high a quantity.

Personally, I can't see Vauxhall ever having a car last long enough to become a proper classic, regardless of how long one manages to stay relativity standard for, they have no long term style, you only have to look at all the crap the boy racers put on them, only to make them even worse.

Buy them and scrap them, less to clutter up the McDonalds, Burger King, and KFC car parks, and leave their litter laying around.. At least a Rally car goes out in some style.

Don't beat yourself up Mate, it's only a Nova, not a Mercedes Gullwing or classic Aston etc.

This is the only Nova that will ever be considered a classic:
