Holdcroft Renault in Crewe have 2 Silver Cups for sale, both with climate control and delivery mileage only (1 is in the showroom) if anyone is looking for one in a hurry - no doubt good deals to be had...

Glad Im not the only 30-something using the forum!

Thought it was just mine that did this - how wrong can you be?!

Wondered why I hadnt seen you on the way to work lately - Silver 172, normally going the opposite way to you in Abbey Hulton. Also part of the Vauxhall crew going to Santa Pod a couple of Sundays ago on the A50. Did you eventually manage to out-run the white Nova shaped missile in the end, or...

Think the piccy may be of the French market Ragnotti version.

As an active member of both the PNG and Clio Sport, and with a fair bit of Nova experience, perhaps the following may be of use. Even when new, Novas werent known for their handling balance, and had a fairly hard ride - Vauxhalls idea of a sporting hatch. But they are honest, cheap tuneable...

_KDF - Total Vauxhall. Not lairy enough for Max Poo or Fast Turd - No 20" rims, flip paint, or 8" tailpipe on mine.

Saying that bits might fall off and hit my car isnt exactly cricket. Build quality issues appear to be one of the more common threads on here. Ive had a couple, shared with a number of other forum users and my 172 has only done 480 miles. I would be mad to say that the Nova is perfict, but Ive...

Easy now! I seem to have read somewhere that Renault build quality isnt the best either! Might be opening a can of worms here, but why the prejudice all the time? (I drive both).

Is that your Nova Mr. Caro? IanH

Very Nice. Had my 172 for 3 weeks, and its been polished every week-end. Once spent 2 weeks of evenings and week-ends polishing the ornament in the garage (Nova) ready for its feature in Total Vauxhall, but that did include the underside, behind the wheels, all suspension, and entire...

Fitted mudflaps on the front of mine this weekend - just modified standard Clio II items.

Brilliant! Will have to get one - even have one in my colour! Would love a matching Cup to go with it - any ideas?

Would like to see. How much, where from and what colour?

Certainly - Holdcroft Renault. The whole buying/owning experience has been A1 from start to finish (kiss of death now). Myself and a friend tried to buy a couple of VWs before seing the light, but we couldnt give our money away to them - dealers simply werent interested and we visited 2...
