Deffo do a Nova.

Me and my mate went down to Essex a few months back(1000 mile round trip) for a scrapper of a Nova that was XE'd and it had been vandalised so was written off.When we got down he was pretty gutted at the state(but the price of it made up for the time) and its now under-going a full resto.Hes still not sure whether to track it or keep it good.lol.

I was out in his last 1 that was stripped and cage and OMG what a difference between that and my old XE Corsa.It was a tool.Id deffo have a Nova over a corsa if i went down that road again.
