    Thumbs up Gaz's Vauxhall Nova - Linked from Telegraph Corsa VXR Article

    Today, the motoring section of the Telegraph features the new Corsa VXR on the front cover of their motoring section. As well as commenting on this new hot hatch, the article touches on the Nova becoming a "counter-culture idol" a few years back. They selected the following linked article here on MIGWeb as a "brilliant send-up of this hot Nova culture". Over the years this post has gained lots of interest and has almost half a million views to its name.

    Unfortunately, the link was printed incorrectly, but here it is in all its glory, enjoy:

    Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

    if the pics after page 1 worked it would be! but to be honest, we are talking telegraph, how many of them are actually going to visit? if it was the sun/star/sport then fair enough, id expect huge numbers visting,but the telegraph? its all jag's, bmw's, top end audi's and vw's (all company cars too!) those people drive.

    If that Nova is being used as a p1ss take I think its harmfull to our club. We have lots of Nova owners & projects & tbh they shouldnt be frowned upon seeing as how much revenue the car is responsible for, be it Nova owning members fees or show entries etc.

    Sure we've all smashed up Novas or ridiculed them somehow but I think this ranks up there with swearing in the forums. My 2p
    it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS

    GENIUS! that car was a legend, think we fitted 11+ people in it in reading cruise ages ago lololol

    agreed with Craig Green tho, it wasnt nice that the Telegraph thought "in fact, the whole website is a perfect scream" didnt think we were here for the laugh a minute value of a poncy newspaper writer and its not good that we seem to all be labeled as boy racers ....ahh well that guy is most likely called Tarquin, drives a z3 cabrio and has his hair done at toni and guy

    How many views has this had so far. I've noticed when searching for Mig it has it TWICE as one of it's google topics.
    And I wonder how much it has cost?!
    One dog goes one way and the other goes the other.
    And this guy's saying, "Whaddya want from me?"
