Do you approve of this we beastly hussy my dear chap?

[Ixion]

Where are the strappy loopy things on the B pillars , for the chick to put her ankles in ?

The Rover 2000 really needed that V8,they were a real slug.The V8 was much better - they could do 100mph on the Waipuna Rd bridge - going down anyway.

I think the 'S' could do 120mph.

Yeah,so could the BSA Lightning - but you needed a long downhill road with a tail wind.

My first car was one of these


The MG Midget Mk IV, the model with the rubber bumper and the triumph spitfire 1493cc engine. It was incredibly fun to drive and could easily do the ton. I remember letting my little sister borrow it, she claimed she didn't realise that the speedo was in MPH and was wondering why everone else on the motorway was going so slowly.

Its a 3500, none of this 2000 or 2200 rubbish.

I went to pick it up on Sunday, waited around in Pahiatua, owner txt me and said he couldn't make it, but would be there on Monday. So I got ridiculously drunk and fantasised about burbling along in a P6, a dream of sorts I have always had, woke up hung over as fuck and, well, he couldn't make it. So I doubt that's happening =( I'm going for the boring kind of beige now. Theoretically I'm picking up a 93 LS400 tomorrow night. I'm bloody gutted bout the Rover though, such a sexy old girl. But the Lexus is devine in a sense, quite like getting a blowie from a reincarnated Marylin Monroe in a spa pool, floating in a warm cloud with Pink Floyd playing for me. Quite nice.

Great looking car

One car I'd love is a Triumph Spitfire

I learnt to drive in a Rover 3500 P6 - not really the ideal car for a learner. The other learner car was the old man's P76 leyland V8...
my old man had a P5, and Mum had the P6. had it for years until so toerags in Tuakau stole it and wrote it off. We got it fixed but it was never the same and was sold to a Rover collector. I ran into him waiting at the Autobahn a few years back and he got the car going properly and it was on the road again.
First car I had was a Citroen GS then a BX16. Cool cars, but the boring toyotas that replaced it were much cheaper to run.

I did manage to get the P6 today!!!!!!!! Lovely old girl, the four barrel holley has a wee problem in the idle circuit. I suspect it's the idle air mix being blocked. Runs very smooth and quiet [just won't idle due to it over fueling] and rides beautifully, better than the BMW I swapped for her. No oil leaks noticed yet. Needs a few new seals around here and there and a general service and it will be a stunner....
After I do the rust in the doors =D
