It is really pretty cool, other than the engine tho, would have to ge ta V8 lump for the back of it I think...

can you imagine what that would be like witha V8, possibly running massive carbs? A total animal...
I would love one as I like the styling

I love the arches on Nova's, the luuurvly slightly flared arches... Even though GM ripped it off from Audi or Lancia???

Hmm, this medication the doctor has given me seems to have some unwanted side effects! :eek: ;)

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid, looks hideous and is based on a Beetle. Sorry:wave:

Now, the e-bay Nova is alright, a bit 70's perhaps, but plenty of power....

Not a touch on Vauxhall's finest, however. Long live the 1.3 SR! :p

My old boy had one that needed a bit of restoring, that one on ebay was a crap colour - they look awesome in black. The cockpit part elevates on automatic hydraulic rams :cool:

I could be miles out with this one but....
wasn't there a yellow car very similar to that in Cannonball Run 2, but with a V8? the two girls conned it out of some young kid and then blew it up! :wack:

FullMetalGasket was it not a lambo that the girls had?:)

In the 2nd film they got through about 4 or 5 cars, i think they broke the lambo before the race even started! :cry: I'd have to dig out the film to see for sure though.
