vauxhall nova getting wreaked

[Lazy-Ferret]

Im with fez the guy has paid his money he can do what he wants with it he maybe didnt want a used rally car

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..:lol 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.

Never will be Mate.

Cracking little cars though, sold a few SR's and GTE's many years ago, always got more than book. (Mind you usually paid over book to take in part exchange too)

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

[Dorn1964]

Thank you, she is rather special, had her 10 years, just had a full service, new brakes, tyres and springs all round.... really great to drive, shes a 2L ST202 full racing chipped, goes like s*** off a shovel!

Lovely car...:bow

It's 27 years old, and already out lasted most Vauxhall's, not only that, but they were a classic when they rolled off the production line, along with the Supra... No need to bolt crap onto one of them...

 

[Dorn1964]

I agree, apart from the lowering springs she's totally original

My Brother is a MR2 fan, but I think they are a poor sports car. They seem to have a following, but there just never seems anything special about them, and IMHO, they are poorly made, compared to most other Toyotas.

My brother lost the back end of his on a Roundabout, and nudged the curb. It ripped the back axle off, and the wheels went up into the wheel arch, and smashed that, luckily, it was new enough that they did not write it off, but once his insurance came up for renewal, he could not afford to re-insure it either.

Yep much prefer the Celica still has a bit of class and I much prefer a car you have to drive something without all the mod cons that do it for you. i suppose thats why i like the Nissan 4x4s they need proper driving!

 

[96terrano]

Yeah, the Celicas have mire style and shape about them
