Can't believe that someone let an HS and an E-Type get in that state. Criminal.

Liking the Weber Alfa kitted Nova too.

Super Oscars on the matt red Nova should be on the Chevette.

Sorry Broster, I thought you meant the convertible.

That said, tin or rag top, i've driven both, and all though the 6 is the purists/fanatacists wet dream from an historic, emmotional and aesthetic stand point, I didn't enjoy it as much and felt it was an inferior car from a motoring perspective.

They are very pretty, but if I was gifted one, i'd rather sell it, buy a 12, stick the cash that's left in the bank and tank around in the monster instead.

your a sick sick person, how dare you say such things, the 12 is a gay gay car with a gay gay amercan image! they got rid of all the cool stuff with the 12, only 2 wipers, rocker switches not flick switches, wide wheels, they even put semi decent brakes on the 12, and let me guess a 5 speed box!



wow! need i say more, look at the arches for a start, it flows so muc hbetter
