Torsten2001 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I hope you are all doing well, I've not been far away just a bit overwhelmed with my 1000th post! News is I was a bit down following a break in at my Ghetto storage place where they hot wired my Lada Niva and rammed as much as they could including my XJ6, the Niva is still lodged in the wall and I think I can proudly say that the wall has come off worse! Anyway, missed you all, glad to be back and here's my new haul over the last couple of weeks, missing a few as I've not photographed them yet! Enjoy!Swapped the Domino for this, a 2300, really nice car!A splendid 380SE V8 which I'm trying to flog before it cripples meNow in Le collection de Wuvvum, hopefully I'm getting his 245 in exchangeA Suzuki GS500 zzzzzzzA marvellous low mileage 244DL, proper niceA Natsun Primera, actually not bad, quite an enjoyable car really!Gorgeous 240GL Auto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Sorry to hear about your break-in Torsten, sounds like the people who did this need to drive about in a Pug 307 as punishment. That's a very nice Rover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I like a nice povo-spec SD1, I have this grand plan to get a nice, super-basic 2000 with non-metallic paint and steelies, chuck away the 2.0 O-series and fit a TDi from a Rover 200/400.

mk2_craig Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hey Mister Bo**ox, it's about time you found a more distasteful signature pic. I've been trying to decipher it for yonks but the best I've come up with is "OFFICIAL WOMEN'S INSTITUTE TINT MY SAXO" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lobster Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Bloody hell! Sorry to hear about the break in. Bastards Anyway, liking the R12 Estate and Rover. Big time tasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Oi Oi Mr Welfare! I shall never tire of the Rover but I shall be disposing of it soon!Good news about the Polski Mr B, what have you done with it? I reckon that is the last one in the country! The Niva is a bloody strong, great to drive too! Here's mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Some kekkers broke into my garage the other day. They tried to nick my old (and completely knackered with various parts missing) mig welder and nick off in fatha_Bo11ox's Lancia. But, despite havign lights, electric and a full set of tools at their disposal, the hi-tech steering lock on it defeated em and they must have got disturbed because absolutely nothing was taken - even though all my garage gear, socket sets etc was spread about everywhere. That will teach me for having a cheapy chinese padlock, got a big punk a$$ one now like.Now we need a new steering column for the Beta though.

r.welfare Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I just really like the setting as well - "CIVILISED CAR" indeed! Those late steel wheel trims are THE SHIZZ. If I did have it I promise not to send it to the breakers after getting exasperated with it, like I did with Ian's 820 (bloody M16 gearboxes, grr).

Sometimes you have to laugh at the incompetents though. Years back someone tried to nick my sister's shagged out Daihatsu Charade from the disreputable neighbourhood in Gunchester when she was then living. They managed to get in, but couldn't get the Krooklok-type device off. I can only guess that they were disturbed as they fled leaving their entire breaking and entering kit, namely a rusty screwdriver... and a candle :lol:Nice to have you back, Torsten!

That said, I trust you missed a set of inverted commas around 'hi-tech' - pretty sure there's nothing special about a system which (gasp! shock!) immobilises the column minus a key in the ignition?
