Great news,after spending all afternoon in the Pub, I have spoken to FathaAngry and arranged epic collection for tomorrow.

The only time I've ever been to Southend before all I saw were RS Turb0s and Escort cab.s hopefully tomorrow I might see some cool Austins.

[Partridge]

Fantastic! Well done

Excellent call.

This place IS what it used to be.

[purplebargeken]

Yayyyyyyyy!

[M'coli]

This place IS what it used to be.

Yes indeed it is - as well as the ultra-rare, ultra-70s, ultra-desirable shite such as the SD1 3500 manual, and including the ultra-normal ultra-rare ultra-70s Reno 5 thread, there is this - a thread about a forgotten gem of the 1990s AR story that punches far, far above its weight.

Mr NorfolkNWeigh has just departed in this chariot of excellence. Nice to meet you sir, and good luck with the Rover!

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Just arrived home in the super stylish 600, it didn't miss a beat and cruised round the M25 and up the M1 at 70* in perfect comfort. Seems pretty good on fuel too,put £20 worth in it at Southend and 90 miles later it's still showing half a tank.

Was good to meet the apparently ironically named AngryDicky and the equally nice AngryParents, all that remains is for me to post the statutory picture.

I saw one of these blat past us on the way to Skeghell yesterday and it looked like a very nice place to be.  Same colour as this one too, funnily enough, but nowhere near as clean.

[dollywobbler]

I think the vast majority of 600s were Nightfire Red. It really suits them, but they look very fetching that sort of light gold colour too. It's a supremely successful reskin of the exceedingly bland Accord on which it is based. I'm giving very serious thought to entertaining one as my next motor.

[Angrydicky]

Good to know you got home ok Rich!

 

Considering it's done 170k, it's in amazing condition really. The only real sign of the mileage is the worn steering wheel.

[EssDeeWon]

Trying to work out which pez station that is......
