    novaboy on britains worst driver

    anyone watch it today? they blew up his 15 grand nova - think its repeated on sunday. quite funny but i thought it's a little unfair that they give all the other drivers a 10-15 grand car and they brought his off him for 10 grand (cost him 5 grand more) and then didnt give him a car. still worth a watch thou.

    It was featured in Max Power a few months ago. Or Redline, I forget. It was pink, right? Horrid colour, but it was better than the usual patched together pos.

    Modification depreciation's a bitch!

    i thought they'd have been better off giving him a car it was harder to mod - maybe even the jag. i'd have thought that would have calmed him down a bit

    What's peoples obsessions with Novas? Ok i know they're cheap but they're such horrid little cars to drive... and they look awful aswell... If someone is spending thousands of pounds on a bloody Nova, why dont they get a decent car in the first place ffs!!!!

    he has a point - underneath it all , its still a Nova no matter how much money you spend on it.

    better to start of with a good car with less of a stigma like a 200sx

    Thing is the reason they go for Nova's and now Corsa's is beacuse they are cheap to insure, even when they have modded them.

    Although I would rather have a 200SX than a Nova any day
