I've said that before, Ariel Atom is 500kg so 781kg with proper metal bodyshell is impressive.

I'm sure the Nova did'nt weigh that much when it was released

But I suppose with XE and ICE it will add a few KG's

The red astra is severley stripped.
All it has is the clocks, steering wheel and 2 seats.
The rest has been ditched.
It was a 1.4 auto, but now has a 2.0XEV.

corsas are about 950kg standard aren't they? so 980 for a nova with a big lump in the front isn't bad.

at least it isn't made out of a selection of paper/aluminium foil and paper clips like certain F**nch cars lol

My brother drives my car sometimes, like myself he can drive a manual, but he's got problems with his left knee so he doesn't have a choice but to use auto cars. If he drives a manual he gets agonising pain from his knee after a short period of driving, hence he can't even play any sports like football etc.

If I hardly ever saw my family and lived away from home I'd get a manual, but for the above reasons I need an auto really.
