Top stuff, I bet in some other far of place it means driven by spotty geeks in baseball caps with no girlfriends.

You can thank Chevrolet for that fine name. (Chevrolet is part owner of Vauxhall) Chevy had a nova in the that started out in the 1960's as a sh1tebox as well. :) I can remember being behind one a mate had in school and wondering why i was directly behind him yet could see all 4 tyres under the car. wonderful design on that chassis. Tracked like a drunken dog. lol
