They seem to be missing you over on your award winning RR shite fixing blog.... Maybe you should link them here so they know their Messiah still lives.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

thats gonna die a total death soon thanks to Photobucket!!!! The bastards.

[Isaac Hunt]

Pure fecklessness on my part I'm afraid

I've had a headlamp bulb fail during the test, checked all lights the night before, side lamp, dipped, main, all good, took in for test and a dipped popped. It isn't worth trying to explain cos they think you can't be arsed to check em.

 

Well done on the fixing. Those Rhonda Autoboxes have a reputation on being a bit sharp on the changes.

[dollywobbler]

Good going I reckon. The Honda comes in at 35p per mile over 13,000 miles by my reckoning, so I'm averaging better mpg, but have had to get more stuff sorted out.

Looks like you're doing the repairs in your newly built freehold motor trade premises

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Yeah working under the manky car port!!!

[Stanky]

What does it need tyre-wise? Danthecapriman gave me a pair of 185/70R14s a while back which I discovered on Tuesday don't fit the Yaris at all.

 

PM me if any use. They are yours for free if needed.

How are you getting on with the Sherpa?

[pompei]

How are you getting on with the Maserati?

[500tops]

How are you getting on with the 929 coupé?

[lincolndanny]

How are you getting on with the Seat....

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Can some mods close this thread please!!! I'm coming under heavy sustained fire!!!

[beko1987]

Sorry, as the namesake of a moderator that won't happen...

 

I was gonna ask how the garage is getting on. Come on bollox man, anyone would think you had a life, job, missus etc...

[lincolndanny]

The masser wouldn't be so bad if you were halfway through welding a sill in, that's where most resto threads stop...but you'd painted the bay and we're putting the engine in man!!!! We all deserve THAT update as a AS Christmas special (much better than watching Only Fartz and Horzez for the 56th time...)

I will provide covering fire while you escape out the back

Yo! This is nowt to do with my fleet, but is (I thought) an interesting Rover nugget.

 

Some lad popped up on an FB group this week with a 45 V6 hatchback! Officially, Rover only ever offered the V6 in the saloon body.

 

I don't know if it's a conversion but the DVLA records seem to be correct with the model down as a V6 24v club. I wonder how it came about? V6 hatchback is my ideal Rover 45!!

are you buying ???????

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Don't think it's for sale! (good job)

[mk2_craig]

Seems legit! I get this impression there was a load of weird stuff escaping the production line in the last few years, so tune in next week for a late model 25 accidentally fitted with the powerplant from an Xpower SV.

[phil_lihp]

That, plus the experimental 75 Tourer fitted with a 1.1 K-series.

[Ghosty]

That sounds like it’d kettle before it even got out of Longbridge.

[RobT]

Collected this from Reg Varney-Bo11ox this evening.

 

 

I expressed an interest a few weeks back via PM (when dealing with roffle payments for the Xantia) and here we are. Currently sitting at Toddington services because my bladder finally couldn't wait any longer, and thankfully no snow chaos so far apart from the odd flurry.

 

Cheers Bo11, despite the slightly leggy miles it's a cracker! Working cruise is a welcome bonus whilst wafting down the motorway.

[dollywobbler]

Still very high on my list of Rover attractiveness. Best of the Rondas. 

[320touring]

I am safe from this cos I only buy red Vauxhalls from Rob:)

[purplebargeken]

Please do not say it is an auto.

[HMC]

Great! You always did want to try one of these, what a way to pop your cherry. Leather or plush cloth?

[mitsisigma01]

BU03OVX comes back from .Gov as a white Rover 25 .....

[Rod/b]

Leather auto with lovely caramac interior, mmm.  I'll start a new thread at some point once I've seen it in daylight!
