For it not to win because its too well known & won things before is a little silly & out of order I think
Lovely car

Yup that's the one - and a lil carbon fibre VIN plate too.
Was my first chance to see it properly up close, superb motor and well deserved to win IMO

@ anyone who doesnt like this car. You've got to appreciate it. I'm not a bodykit and big wheels fan so this car to me is PERFECT!! All my opinion but i suspect that the people who dont like it are little kiddies who think the bigger the wheels the better.

It looked like a bog standard nova, and seeing as i see dicks driving these all day i was curious as to what the hell was so special about it, which i tihnk is a perfectly valid question. Just cause it dont have big shiny wheels and a bodykit dont mean shit.

the bloke even moved the transmission tunnel over to the left so that he sits paralel to the steering wheel as in novas you normally sit offset!!
You have to love it!!

This nova was also my favourite car of the show although sooooo many cars looked amazing and it was great to finally see them in the flesh after seeing so many pictures....a few that stick in my mind are Claire Richardsons, Donnas, Jrs and Snowys really pictures just dont do these cars any justice they are all amazing and a total credit to their owners especially as a lot of the work has been done themselves

gotta agree there lukey. thats the beauty of PVS or any other show for that matter. you cant really appreciate these creations til you see them up close and in the flesh.
im not into bodykits and bug wheels but even i like kitted up stuff more in the flehs than i did in pictures.

Bog standard FPMSL
Just because it does'nt have billy boy bumpers you reckon its standard
Did you look at how much work has been involved in making it.

I thought the steering rack was bent until I realised my old Nova was like it as well
All the old Vauxhalls are like it though.

ojc: Considering i didnt go and i did not know what was special about the nova, gave me the right to ask what was special about it. Why you both are getting all up on urselfs for me asking, i dont know. Im not saying because it hasnt got big shiney wheels and a bodykit, makes it look naff....i was just asking why it was there favourite as i had no idea about the work they person had put into it.
Im not a fan of novas due to the huge amount of idiots driving them....but im sure i can make some exceptions in this case
