Oh FFS, for a moment there I thought you needed one too. I've got a massive headache now, been worrying about the Rover and ZX all day. There was me thinking I'd fixed the Honda engined maladies.

SierraMikeHotel Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 This is the most epic collection thread of EVAH. To be fair, the last Rover I owned spent more time on the back of recovery trucks than it did being driven... Hope RobT isn't feeling too guilty, I can guarantee that the Rover made it up Detling Hill under its own power, without boiling over, which is again more than my old Rover ever managed.

Ghosty Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Having a break from driving to eat. Fiesta isn't that bad tbh. Fairly comfy, user friendly, decent stereo etc. Has a speed limiter in place of cruise. Think it's a CVT but not sure. No idea what spec or engine it is, shall find out later.

Ghosty Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Oh, double clutch! I did wonder if it was one of those, it had paddles on the steering wheel but I know some CVTs have fake gears. Was alright anyway. I am now home, after a thankfully uneventful trip up the A1 in a decidedly acceptable Fiesta. I last saw the GTi in the car park of Peterborough services, the AA man having left it there for another to pick up. Mum is taking the Fiesta back to Enterprise in the morning, then when the GTi finally gets here, my street will become the location for the world's first real-life game of Rush Hour: oldcars, RobT, Junkman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Whilst at the pub, my uncle has offered me a mystery carrier bag containing records that I'm welcome to for free. I'm intrigued to see what's in it, as he has pretty good taste...knowing uncles, they'll probably all the Shiite scratched records that he hates. Probably includes best of Wham, and something by S Cunt 7 It wont include any singles by The Lurkers. djimbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
