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

 

 

 

Nice one matey, I went 1.3 SR/1.4SR then 1.6GSI many moons ago
Still tempted to get one as a project car/track toy
Later
AC

 

Looking good, love the green one.

I'm a 205 man myself, but always liked the Nova's, just a shame the max flower lot got to them.

 

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.

Welcome to Scoobynet btw.

 

Love the green one, great looking car. The wheels on the purple one look a bit silly though i'm afraid

 

Here's mine from 12 years ago

 

my first car was a 1.3SR - i went on a mission to buy it back recently to turn it in to a rally car and found out its now in car heaven

 

Ha ha there is probaly quite a few of us in here that started out in Novas or simlair

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 too started life with a nova, just a little blue 1.2 but oh how I loved it!! Wow, that was many moons ago!!
Great little cars...made of tin but had so much character!

 

The Nova is fast going classic, you never see a Ned in one nowadays, done right like the green on they are such a nice looking little car.

 

love the green one

 

i had a nova 1.2 with a gte interior and suspension loved it. had it for 4 years sold it to get a 205gti the fool i sold it to killed it within a week. the garage that services my scoob also builds rally cars and he thinks they are going to go the same way as escorts,good shells sell for big bucks maybe i should keep an eye out for a good one.

 

me too

 

he purple one was so long ago, the 3 sets of weels it had were fashionable at the time!!

 

same place



and again!

So you an Oldham chap then, yonner???

 

The green one reminds me of the Peugeot 309 GTI Goodwood. Lovely

 

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.

 

Greetings Marland, Fester here. Beam me up:








Now Classic'd.

 

my scoob:

 

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.

 

Nice cars.

My mate bought that lime green one under yours in the mag from that guy.

 

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.

 

Finished for Spring I wondered if the old dear was going to put in an appearance in these parts

I wouldn't be scanning too many proofs in though mate

 

Photographed in October for Total Vaux, finally made an appearance in this months issue!!!

 

I loved my old nova great lil cars when they have a valver in them
My old 1

It met a sorry end when i wrote it off on my 18th birthday
