did anyone see this programme tonight on bbc1? oh dear. they took 4 novas and literally cut them to bits with angle grinders, sledge hammers and such like. what a horrible thing to do to such a nice little motor:shame: was almost in tears. couldn they have used something rly crap like 4 puntos:lmao: it was all just so wrong!!

 

[bigdrifter]

Didn't watch it- had Corrie on round here!

 

[Turbodave]

Nah, Leanne Wilson playing with a big tool.... and wrecking a Nova in the process, what could be better. Plus, look on the bright side... thats four less Novas threatening to take my engine... and four less Burberry caps sold.

 

[bigdrifter]

The fella does have a point!

 

[stuart002]

four less Burberry caps sold.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

you do have a point on both counts, but still sad i thought.

Went to look at a genuine Nova Sport tonight as it happens, probably picking it up in the next few days.

1300cc though, so no LET engines required here

 

[Mark]

Made me laugh...40 minutes, with help!

I can use just the large angle grinder they had and have the whole car cut up and in the back of a renault espace in that time.....and have done, many a time.

 

[Galahad]

Angle Grinders? Bit over the top for rust isn't it?

 

[bigdrifter]

A genuine Sport?
Looking forward to pics if you get it. A minter or a basket case?
A couple of years back my uncle bought a bent XE'd Nova with the intention of reshelling it (which he never got round to) but once the shell was stripped he asked about for whats the best way to get rid of it. Gas axe then in the back of a van to the scrap yard came the reply. Off he goes and buys

an axe! He then spends a whole day chopping it up before fly tipping the remains!

For yourself as a project or is it mint already?

[k1ngy]

Nah, it's been chavved unfortunately, so I'd be buying it as an earner.

Sell all the crap to young Nova monkeys, then sell the rolling shell/logbook/identity for more than I paid for the whole lot

 

[TheMorphiuz]

Aye, all them reasonable little poverty Novas destroyed...
Shame really, that's 4 less for me to choose from when I want to put an XE or LET in one...

@ turbodave how's it threatening your engine unless someone steals your car?

@ Paul.... wot a state... take it back to standard, quick!!

 

[bigdrifter]

Shame, still looks reasonable enough

 

[stuart002]

No blue on the stickers Stuart ..............

 

[blotto_otto]

Reckon on a few quid for the bits then paul? Certainly looks ok (from a financial pov) from here

 

[scharatz]

I had a nova once. It you just looked it in a threatening way it would fall apart :lmao: It was a nice shade of rust

 

[Turbodave]

@ turbodave how's it threatening your engine unless someone steals your car?

Sorry, should have added one of these.... " :lmao: "

I'll go stab myself in the eye with slithers of bamboo....
