As much as I hate Nova's , having been in one with 220hp you have got to say they are awsome fun, and the 2L xe is bomb proof as well . Never been in a turbo one, wonder what they go like
What box is in it Greg?

What a gayboy! I can't believe you got rid of the 200 for a Nova mate.

How much did you get for the 200 in the end? I think you'll miss the RWD, I know I would.
