Best bit of the GTE that you could change a clutch in 30mins without removing the gear box if only Vauxhall still made it that easy.

OMG, I remember watching that as a kid! Still have the video tape in the loft somewhere

Back then I had no clue about XE's and stuff, I remember Clarkson had the Rover in BRG

Shame she yanked the handbrake on every corner, doesn't show what the car could really do.

Because it was better than the rover sdi but because it was Jeremy's video he didn't want to lose so it was rigged.

It was an awesome nova. I remember back in 2000 going to a show in Belgium in convoy with it, the whine from the box was nice. Still got loads of photos of it somewhere.

Comment from YT...

.the Nova is a front wheel drive SHOPPING TROLLY ! making it " handle " is just not possible.

O RLY?

Funny how they make good track cars then huh?

And another one...

All Vicky needs to do is learn how to drift that little car, then she'd win.

Yeah, coz FWD cars drift so well

Love this, the Capri from the DVD was from near me. Not long after the filming it was parked up and left to rot.
