Coming down a local dual carriageway i had this saxo vts stuck to me back bumper, so i put it in 3rd gear and held it there in the fast lane and waited for him to try and undertake me. As he did i sent it away and pulled away from him untill i had to break for a round about, i then took the roundabout and powered out the otherside in 2nd with loads of wheelspin and a tad of understeer. I then looked in my rear view mirror to see where saxo boy was and i couldnt believe it he was sideways across the road, he then plowed up the kurb down a grass enbankment and into a fence.

I then turned round at the next roundabout but by the time i got back the police were alreadt there.

Fucking saxo drivers eh

 

good to hear another french piece of crap is off the road...

 

how much he manage that? FPMSL

 

that will be another 17yr old saxo driver

 

Eh

 

bloody saxo drivers

 

What made it worse was he was showing of to his tart

I could just read his lips "check those to cocks out in that shity nova, watch this shazza my saxo will out handle that piece of shit"

 

Good work mate. A Nova you were in?? What engine is in that?

 

2.0 16v xe with a few bits on it, what makes it worse though is that it has wide arches and tsw venoms


Me and me mate cant help but go looking for prey in it, cause it is honestly the best fun i have had in a car

 

Bet it flies

 

Compared to me cossie its boringly slow but as far as most cars on the road go ye it is a little nippy, i have taken down a civic type-r, clio 172, another xe nova, a stage1 small turbo esc cos, a chipped up seat ibiza cupra, a civic vti and last but not least a saxo vts

 

LOL Just a bit nippy then

 

im not a fan of nova's i mean when i see one on the streets i tend to shout abuse at it but when there done properly and not just having silly plastic bodykits on and stupid sound systems there an alright car

 

Sounds like a good wee toy you've got there

Poor sod has only done what I bet most of us has done already and overcooked it big time, hopefully learnt his lesson though

 

When i first jumped in it i thought it was very slow and didnt know what all the fuss was about, but cause i havent driven the cossie for a while and have had a few races to compare the car against some quick standard and modded motors i now think its quite fast and very fast for what it is

 

nice one - you should have gone back and taken pics

 

I was proud of the fact a got an ax gt as a first motor when all me mates had nova sr's and vowed never to own a vauxhall, now after various cars including a stage3 2wd cossie i am blasting about in this lol





O AND BEFORE PEOPLE COMMENT ON THE WHEELS I HAVE SOME COMPO MO'S TO GO ON

 

Looks good mate at least you can appreciate it for what it is

 

Can't fucking stand novas, but that one looks hard as nails

 

Courtenay sport carried out all the work including the custom courtenay leather retrim, the previouse owner spent an absolute fortune on it and then sold it to me for Ł950, i have had me moneys worth already in 2 weeks

 

Bargain and a half you've got there then mate

 

It will look even harder on a set of 16" black or anthrecite mo's i aint decided on the colour yet

 

That is really neat. No horrible patches of rust or dents. Get those other wheels on though!

 

O and if anyone is going to donington on the 29th it will be getting a good beasting round the track

 

the offsets only about 3inches out on the rear for them arches

shit cars that go fast are fun

 

well telling you the absolute gospel truth that is the best looking nova i have seen for a long while....but the wheels bring on the compo mo's

 

Black mate

 

yes im definatly going.... i wont be on track seen as im 16 but still being round it in my dads cars enough times

 

Speedline Alesios - a classic on a Nova but I still think they look great!

I have a lot of respect for the Griffin badged cars with decent engines, much quicker than equivalent bhp Fords much to my annoyance!

 

I hate Novas and hate those wheels, but it has a good engine and deserves the big arches etc. The wheels are from the same era so it all works just fine for me! Hope the Saxo driver and his gf were ok - muppet though

 

im also a nova hater but.... thats foooking smart and tidy looking, with the balls to go with it (engine)

 

su-fuckin-perb

 

sweet car mate

reminds me of when I had my XR2 turbo, bloke in a 3i overtook me and got stuck level with me so I let him go as we were coming up to a roundabout, started braking but the 3i didn't, next thing I see is him spinning towards one of the exits

He stopped, looked at me and gave me the nod (as if to say "yes I know I'm a complete twat) started the car up and drove off again

 

Please please please put a wide trac kit on this mate... It will eat up the bends then, only Ł500 iirc

Have you done anything to the engine? The XE sounds lovely with a set of carbs or TB's

 

Definately agree, had a set on my Nova GSI and I sent them of to get polished and they looked awesome, only problem being every time I cleaned the car I had to dry the wheels off then autosol the fookers

 

It will look the nuts on a set of white TH2/3's or MO's

 

Aside from the danger factor, well done!
I remember my brother did something similar in his uno turbo racing a renault 5 turbo, where the guy ended up going over the roundabout, that was the end of that.

 

I should not laff, but class

I love when you dust a under powered shed

I am suprised it did not bounce back out, they are made of plastic !

Al........
