Procta, on the way to work this morning I saw a burgundy metro with black plastic bumpers, looked very clean and totally standard other than it being absolutely slammed to the ground!
Then, on the way back I passed an old lady in a 1.3L maestro.

I still regularly see these. There's a turquoise colour one in my mums village with a "Mad bitch" sticker on the back, and a pink fluffy steering wheel cover...

[Poodle]

speaking of novas, I nova saloon past me today on the way to ashington, the way that was moving, I am sure it was a red top! plus it was dropped too! give the lad a nod and he did the same! Was on a H plate I think, so it might have been a last batch of saloon,. it was very tidy too! the lad even had the chav cap too!

[toseland]

God damn i used tyo drive a Fvorit GLXi top spec,.. had nothing on it lol, but did have a 1.3 VAG engine that they put in the polo and weighed nothing.

[Jimmy306uk]

Ooo love a good nova loon, saw a nice one at Wakefield on Sunday

[Grant]

[procta]

those are as common as dog shit in a park!

[Paisleycheesewarrior]

Anything British Leyland!!!! They weren't built to last!

[1616six]

The "Limited Edition" ones are a long runnig joke with me and the gf.

We usually just keep the laughs between ourselves but there has been a few occasions outside the local Asda at night, when "those sort" gather together and 3 or 4 of the LE corsas feature, she has got her camera out and shouted "Oh My God! 3 Limited Edition Corsas in the same place at once! Scotty quick, get my picture!".

We find it immensly hilarious, them, not so much.

This is my friend's Triumph Acclaim 1.3 HLS Auto

Been in his grandparents garage since 2005, he approached me to see if I could get it running. Long story short, it was siezed. Anyways got it running and he took it for MOT last week, failed on couple of minor things, but has passed now and will be on the road on the 1st.

It's hellish comfy, keep thinking it needs to be slammed on some decent wheels just for a laugh.

and one more thing....its.so.beige (inside & out)

[Mole man]

I'm on holiday in Cornwall at the moment and saw a beautiful example of a celica gt four in black! Unfortunately no pics then about 30 mins later saw a silver one! I haven't seen one in a long time!

My grandad had a beige Acclaim too, years ago mind but I always liked it as a kid when we went anywhere with him.

clocked a mk2 RS 2000 escort on the coast road, while I was out on a test drive.

there are not many of those at all left on the road! according to classic car monthly, there were something like 500 only registered now!
well done for getting a very rare car back again!

Spotted a red Nova GSI on the way home looked pretty mint to be fair didn't get close enough for a proper look though! Typical period mods let it down though (Clear rear lights/flush tailgate)

funny enough, when I came in from walking the dog, a old 90s phase1 almera passed me, and a mk6 escort which was following it. both similar age plates too!
