Nova Boy's.....if you want humiliation then carry on!

Tut, tut!!!

It's only Day 2!!! What are you like!!!

Be careful, won't you, please?!

Ahhh Had a similar experience with a 306XSI just now who cut straight across me at the lights, as he was in the wrong lane! So had to overtake him anyway went through a Camera at 45 in a 40 zone , lucky for me it didn't flash, so like a sensible person I slowed down!

Easy now fella's

Blimey, you boy's don't half get worked up. Learn to relax, smile and walk away.......

PS. I like Nova's.........

I have the same thing with Saxo's, they seem so eager to race. I just have to show them how its done properly!!

Ha ha, long live MINI.

Chill !!!!

I must agree with Basil on this one. You boys have to learn to CHILL! Get your testosterone in control.

Race is part of racetrack, not street driving.

Chill? groovy??? No way....

More like TOAM (Tigger On Acid Mode) permanently!

How's the Birthday Boy today, btw?

DK

mi es muy bueno!

.....erm.....ok I know...I will calm it in a day or so

anyway.....nova's and saxo's....you never actually know what is under the bonnet....will it embarass you at the lighs!?! LOL

Was on the way out tonight and a mini classic was behind me on a big wet greasy roundabout.
I was going some as usual and I think the min was trying too hard then I saw it heading sideways huge oversteer and coming to a halt accross the middle of the road .
Probably would of done the same myself in the old car.
The traction control didnt even flicker!

Basil the Nova is the generation before the Corsa. Known in some countries as the Corsa A. If i'm feeling stupid one day I may post pictures of my old Nova!

Yep, I remember what they looked like...a sort of smaller version of the Chevette......which I rather liked as well. Strong Roof !!!.

OK OK I may be way off, but IMHO if the idea of cars is to "not race them" then why are so many people comparing them.. I mean why does any car have a top speed of over 100? in a utopian world we all drive electric non poluting cars that accelerate well and only do 100 Kmph tops

As long as the real world exists whith words like Supercharge, turbo, and "can take corners at twice thier rated speed" I think it's a little nieve to tell people to settle down over the main reason they bought this car over say... a nice Daewoo.


Oh BTW I just read "motor" magazine, the new Bugatti Veyron has 736kw of power standard.. OUCH

I think I'm confusing myself now......the Nova is no longer made correct ?. I think it's the Corsa I like (Marketed as Barina here), especially the SRi, which i could buy two off and still have change from my Cooper S

Vauxhall are producing a 160HP Turbo Corsa next year to rival the Firesta ST150. Both will be pooh.

Excellent Bodywork.

I bet you were 'polishing' alot on that day.

If only, those pictures where from the PNG of this years Donny show.

I couldn't make this years Donny because of the JCW visit. But by eck I was "polishing" a lot last year when I got back from seeing all the nice "bodywork"

I think it's a little nieve and dangerous of you to suggest it is OK to race on the road where innocent 3rd Parties get hurt or killed by idiots proving they are more stupid than the next idiot
