My Nova's
Hi all, i'm 34 and love fast focused cars. new to scoobs but i've always been involved with silly nova's!!! I know they're not everyone's taste but.....
Sold the green one and bought my first scoob. It's close to 200bhp and in Total Vauxhall next month. Was in Max Power and Revs moons ago
My purple one again close to 200bhp and totally stripped cage etc. In REVS 2000 and total vauxhall 2002

Lovely cars mate, I had a white GTE about 13 years ago which looked totaly standard but had been group N prepared. It was my baby then I sold it to go abroad and within one week the dude had put it in a ditch. Oh how I cried!
Scoobs are great but the cost of modifying is rediculous, never mind the running costs. It is a slippery slope once you get started.

Ah a fellow Yonner
Problem with Novas is kids get there hands on them and spoil 'em.
Yours is very tasteful indeed.

I've taken a picture myself in the exact spot - its the road to Huddersfield about 2-3 miles out of Denshaw.

Brings back memories!
I had a Nova GTi with 34k on it and every drop of petrol itemised in a little book lol....then I wrote it off
Fun cars in their day, remember wanting a 2.0 16v convertion and those trick flat fronted five spoke alloys

I used have one, not a GTE though 
Always wanted a GTE, part of me still does. Great little cars, although the one I had was a little underpowered.

Some great tasteful cars there mate.
I used to have a burgandy TD one, handled well and went okay for an oil burner - I'd have another one tomorrow if a clean enough GSi came along.

Here's mine.
Photo was taken 13 years ago (Plains rally I think).
And i've still got the car. Bought it back almost 10 years to the day after I sold it, almost untouched. It's now laid up, next to a neat little pile of Group A, ready to be finished off. Should be ready for Spring. May even do an event in it, for old time's sake.
Also owned an ex Nova Challenge Group A car, a real little screamer, but a handful to drive. Could worry many a quick Escort, even a few Cossies.
Got hundereds of photos, maybe I should scan a few in.
