Yeah i went through a bit of a vauxhall phase really, happy days though!!hahaha.....the nova's were fun because they didnt handle at all, its a full time job trying to keep them on the tarmac!! Show 'em rain and you may aswell put 'em back on the driveway......

Wheels are 100+ 17" black Jets with a polished rim........I payed £550 with tyres but i have seen them on offer at a few places now for about £450inc. I like them...

my first car was a rover 214sli.

then the local famous Rover 200 Vi. light mods included 57i, janspeed cat back, full de cat, 52mm throttle body and race weight flywheel.

0-60 in 6.7 and before mods were complete, 1/4mile in 15.3. reckon good for a 15 dead.

also had through company, 2.0td astra, 1.7td astra van, transit twin cab flat bed, ford monlamo 1.9dci and a VW 130pd tdi.

now on the ibiza.

mmmmmmmmm??????:think:

I did used to drive the gsi like a bit of a loon most of the time and the suspension was so solid it used to slide all over the place, had Jamex all round. Once it spun and my mates cap flew off his head and out the window......nice huh. Anyway, those days are gone now........I'd like a 2.0l 16v as a toy though.;)
