    The Comedy Value Nova is DEAD!!!

    Driving along, 40 limit road, stop at a t junction.. BANG .. old stylee merc up my arse.. fecking hurt to be honest i feel giddy still. But hey i thought it still drives in a straightish line.........

    15 minutes from home i start to hear loud clattering noises, then it starts running on 3 cylinders, then 2 ... oil light comes on, sounds terrible.....

    ***k it, i know its dead... *takes to very high rpm as im only round the corner and it'll roll the rest of the way*

    BANG!

    funny thing is it rolled to a halt about a metre from the turning for the car park i park in lmao

    pushed her in and thats that, bye bye comedy value nova...

    RIP little beast

    It's time to find someone to give me a lift to pick up my cavalier gsi so i can start pulling it apart and also find someone to give me a lift to pick up the manta!!

    Comedy value car number 2 is down the line... somewhere.

    The Nova is dead, i knew i'd blow the engine up eventually but talk about timing lmao - hate being carless. Crash pics will be posted shortly.

    Don't feel too bad this morning actually so things are ok. Poor little shed

    Ouch! Mind you I remember that motor having no headrests so like Trevor says be wary about any aches.

    Glad you are basically ok.... awaiting the crash pics lol

    Get the merc driver to bung you some $$$ to replace the car and call it a day mate (unless you're considering claiming big $$$ off his insurance company for whiplash etc)
