It might not be your cuppa tea but hey, it's called personal choice!

It's not some rusty old wreck is it?

Each to their own IMO.

Gotta admire the time and effort spent.

I like it, aside from the front which is a bit ott.

Wheels and arches look well

D

And if it really has 240 bhp it will pi55 on most scoobs in a straight line.

Each to their own, fair play to the guy.

I love this:

This custom Type K styling Road Kill scoop is blended in perfectly and gives the car a meaty agressive look from the front.

They don't even try to pretend that the scoop is a proper air intake or anything, just happily admit it's purely cosmetic.

Jason, seriously, the only thing a 6R4 has in common with a common or garden metro, is its overall shape, and the front and rear lights, thats it...

Dai, hahaha, i normally get spoilered-up escorts up my ****, mind you, i do live in essex.....
i used to "play" with them, but cant be bothered now, with the cameras, and number of accidents on my route home, etc, so just leave them to kill themselves...

BB, I know what you mean, but if it is his money (like earned in a decent way) he can do what he wants with it, no ?

Do you want to count how much money the total Scoobynet community has wasted on dumpvalves ? I don't

Why are we so eager to clamp down on Novas ?

I bet Nova owners don't spend hours arguing about ECU resets, either.

i bet right after that photo he said...."hang on ladiessss, i cant get jiggy right now as i have to go on my computer in a dark corner of my house, log onto scoobynet and find a pic of someone who spent £20k+ on their car and then modded it to bits.....then posted it for sale at a loss of thousands.....then went to non-scoob and asked about debt consolidation and the atkins diet.....i will then copy this infomation to www.bluenovas.com and i can laugh about it with my fellow nova pals, now puts those clothes back on"

Is this the same Martin "Scanky", "Mr Rallycross" (aka "70s **** star") who used to stand in the middle of a track to red flag a race if he wasn't happy on the start he made...?

I also seem to remember a certain Englishman in an 'ickle black metro doing rather well

Anyway, each to their own...the Nova looks pretty ...I guess the impossible question is, would you have liked that when you were 21 ? (certainly knocks the spots off my Crapi when I was that age !).

Quite like that to be honest, those that shun dont understand what its all about.

As for 6R4's, they will eat any car on this BBS for breakfast up to 100mph.

Someone on this very BBS has a 400bhp 6R4. 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, I thank you.
