Come on Indy, play the game!

The rules state that once you have bought a car, you STOP looking

Pretty much lol, I knew this would happen!

You're a very strange man Indy.

Strange - a definition:

A beautiful lady with a perfect body drove up to Indy in Rover 620 Diesel Wagon.

She took all of her clothes off, lay on the grass with her legs open and said "Take What I know you Want".................


Hmmmm.................... We all know what he would take

[Indiana_Jones]

Can't I take it in the back of the wagon and then drive off?

And where the fuck would one get a 620 wag?!

Yip, and that's my point! More interested in the Rover spec than the free bike ride

Mrs. Jones had a good laugh from that, cheers lol

Why did they not stick with the Sabrina samwich engine of that era?

Because it never made production only a handful where ever made by hand in the competition department.

Not Triumphs finest hour, what were they thinking?

They weren't by this stage British Leyland limited where a government owned and controlled company, the Honda link was to keep the Japanese happy.

So whilst in the UK, I tried to buy this:

Sadly the guy didn't understand my exchange rate

A griff/chimaera 500 wouldn't go amiss either. I dont care for the sound of the other TVR engine configurations - even the flat plane V8's dont do it for me. Cant beat that old school RV8 burble, go kart chassis and smooth fibreglass body.

I do love the rawness of the TVRs that I have driven. Unfortunately, real cars that need driving skills are becoming a thing of the past. The levels of refinement on new super cars just serves to make the oldies more attractive.

That tosser on the news who wrapped his $300k Aston around a concrete power pole is a sad example of things to come

That's not entirely true. My flatmate's Alfa 147 GTA is a very busy car. It takes a decent amount of skill to get the best out of any modern performance car, barely anybody can pedal something like a 911 Turbo at its limit, or even an MX-5. Older cars just have more fun factor at any speed though which is why I like 'em.

That Indy fellow is certainly a bad influence.

I'd never otherwise waste my time checking out any Rover vehicle.

But last weekend I went to Henderson and checked this one out, with view to making an offer:

Fixed that for you.

Daughter had one of these, quite nice until the ABS crapped. Think she got a few hundred as a trade-in.
