I tax the 740 monthly so if I decide to take it off the road for winter (not that I do any more) I can drive it for 4 months or 8 months weather dependant

It would take a fair bit of time for someone to do that lol
I did the conversion back in 2007/8. Car has since went through a slight transformation lol

So with it now being 1st April, six months tax were put on the Nova.
On saturday, I pulled it out of the garage, replaced the inner trackrods, spaced the engine over a few more MM (was causing issues) and then gave it a good clean inside and out.
Still haven't gotten around to polishing or waxing it - all in good time!
Still need to get a tyre for my spare.
Today we took the car a run to Coleraine, Terri-ann's dad got the new Type-R in black and we had to get a look. Terri-ann drove home.
Stopped to try and get at least one photo taken away from home - not a bad shot for a Phone.
Enjoyable day all round!

Love the gloss of this.
My bird loves all things classic, she doesn't mind me bringing home projects and owning several cars, despite driving a daily that half the time isn't fit for purpose and I have to drive her car.
However she hates nova's, I think its time I bring one home and push her over the edge.
