Night car cruising in the Black Country - WTF??

[baggiebloke]

What’s any of this got to do with Hugg’s 1.3SRi Nova?

Did they make a 1.3SRi Nova?

They defo made a 1.4SRi though. 

I bought a 6 month old one from the Vauxhall dealer in Dudley and then piled on the miles following Albion everywhere in it with 2 or 3 mates. It went to Pompey for Peggy's header, etc... 

Good times.

Sir, you know your Novas (and were most probably overtaken in one on the M27 by my elder brother in an Austin Metro 1.4i )

Before the Nova, I'd agreed to buy a Metro GTi from Charles Clark in West Bromwich.

However, the best insurance quote I could get was £6000 

Paid same screen price for the Nova, insurance was £800 

Insane insurance for under 25s on certain vehicles back then.
