I kept seeing one in Possil (seedier part of Glasgow) when working there in
a web design house some years ago. Big, black, evil looking - you just know
it would rip the arse out of anything else on the road, sans some
over-priced Italian stuff :>

Ahhh, the Vauxhall Nova ... I had one as my second car - B plate, light
blue, rusting to bits. It finally gave up the ghost as a crack in the head
gasket kept letting water into the engine, leading to a lovely mayonnaise
quality to the oil :) Almost managed to get a £500 sight-unseen trade-in on
it for the next car I bought (an F plate Austin Maestro for a grand), but it
finally conked out on the way to the garage, blowing massive exhaust smoke
everywhere as the engine decide to completely stop working. Ah, bless :)
