Hey Guys, I\'m James, might know me from some other forums about.
I\'ve got a nova which I\'m preping for tarmac rallies, hillclimbs and sprints and track use too. I also work on a couple of corsa\'s aswell.
Haven\'t got any up to date pics as it\'s in storage at the mo, till I finish my degree, erm next week. :)

Got a massive list of stuff for the rebuild when it returns again in a few weeks, hope it\'s ok on a corsa_b site :?

James :D

i had that discussion with my mate at the time, and we decided to put it there cos thats the side a flag would hit if it were in a race.... we\'d had quite a few beers. i cant apologise enough :doh:
