Giant-killing nova

penski · 10 Mar 2006 at 13:54

Not yer usual chaved up bag o'**** nova.This is a true giant killer.Last event was at the northwest stages rally at blackpool.Came 1st in class by 9 minutes! Finished 13th overall out of over 100 entries making plenty of Imprezas look pathetic in the process! Engine is only the baby 1300 lump for class A up to 1400's. Just had 2 grands worth of dog box fitted before the event which completely changed the car.1400 motor going in soon for even more grunt.Right bit of kit!

Zefan · 10 Mar 2006 at 13:57

:Edit: Why do some people just not get sarcasm

Doesnt look that good tbh, but I bet its very quick.

I wonder what came first out of the 100 entries ?

Oakesy2001uk · 10 Mar 2006 at 14:00

That one was white and had 4 engines and 8 wheels or something..........

Bennah · 10 Mar 2006 at 14:08

Lol, sounds like a fun car to drive... still will go 0-60 in 15 secs though...

With a gearbox that cost 10 times as much as the car is worth in standard form it's hardly unexpected?

penski · 10 Mar 2006 at 15:30

And it's up against £80k Imprezas. What is your point, exactly or are you just trolling again?

My point is that you appear to think it was an amazing acheivement for a humble Nova to do so well. My point is that it is not a humble nova at all, it's a proper rally car, with a £2k gearbox.

penski · 10 Mar 2006 at 15:37

Gives Underbosses a bad name, tbh...

Don't have any figures for it, I'm afraid. It was posted elsewhere as a 'look what came into the garage today' thread that had a load of mkII Scrotes in it.

Ah yes, I forgot, thou shalt not hold a differing opinion or disagree with penski.

I never called it humble. I referred to it as 'giant-killing'.

It is a proper rally car, it does have a £2k gearbox.

But it was against other proper rally cars....Ones with £12k gearboxes.

Actually, I retract my earlier statement. In it's company, it is indeed a humble Nova.

You're learning....

Seriously though, beligerance and belittling of others are not qualities I'd expect to see of an Underboss. Least of all on such a regular occurance. It is my opinion that you act in a manner which is undeserving of your title.

However, that is not a discussion for the motors forum so I shall say no more on the matter.

it maybe only 1300cc, but its engine isnt stock, it has webers for a start so it aint going to be "that" slow.
