not really that fussed about speed, been driving a 1.2 for 2/3 years now, since i had my old xe nova, so even a standard rallye would be quick enough for me at the mo


it's just the drving it, with close pedal's that im not so sure about at the min

How tall are you, what size feet?

I'm about 5ft7 and have size 8 feet, I have no problems. Eck is rather tall and has much bigger feet and he was fine, atleast he said it was.

lol, got the engine out quick enough, then the other bit's off, then sort of rearranged my garage so it's a bit tidier, compared to what it was

never really crossed my mind to take pic's, as it was doing the opposite to usually, stipping and not building

Fair plays matey, I always used to look for updates on your car on other sites and realised it wasn't really moving along which isn't like you, I assumed you had lost interest in it a while back? I am in the same boat, I just can't be arsed with mine, it has lost it's direction so I will see you in a for sale thread shortly!

You had a kid? I just thought that was a beer gut, I didn't realise you were pregnant?

I thought the Nova was less than that TBH. I just remember you being at Priceys and sorting all sorts of random stuff on Andy's Nova in a flash. As well as us all doing the infamous headgasket... (Go on, your turn *Fits of laughter!* Where is the Sikoflex?)

If I am being honest, I lost interest in mine 3/4 years ago, it was just my stuborn side that kept it. It became a chore instead of a hobby/passion.

I will do another some day but with more direction rather than a spec sheet but my head is currently in house land.
