Six-cylinder Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I saw it at BL day Milton Keynes. I liked it but couldn't think of a narrative to tell Mrs6C why I needed it. juular, calebaaront and Skcat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebaaront Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Me and the Mrs took the barge Petersfield Lake today to feed the ducks and go for a nice walk with the nipper. Drives very well and is very comfortable too Six-cylinder, Shep Shepherd and High Jetter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebaaront Posted October 17, 2023 Author Share Posted October 17, 2023 Did the weeks shopping in the Rover today. I am really enjoying this car. Turns out in the boot you can indeed fit, a few spare parts, a Karcher Pressure Washer and a weeks shopping. Shep Shepherd, High Jetter, Skcat and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebaaront Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Here's a Rover update, I've near enough done 1000 miles since owning it and it's basically been faultless. We took it to Asda tonight and managed to not only squeeze the weekly food shop in but also some Christmas shopping. The Mrs was impressed. On the way home I stopped off at McDonald's and they mistook it for being orange. Dyslexic Viking and Skcat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebaaront Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 Picked up the new family steed today, a 2010 Renault Clio Estate 1.4 diesel. Quite the change from the Rover. This does mean the Rover is now for sale. crad and Skcat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebaaront Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 The Trabant went to a @Zelandethtoday and I acquired a 1963 Rover P4 I'm absolutely loving it so far. I've always fancied one of these and to be able to own one is quite a nice feeling Shep Shepherd, LightBulbFun, Shite Ron and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiC Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 It is. A bloody good motorcar that one. A little bit scruffy on the paint but a solid and reliable thing. One that you could underseal the hell out of the underneath and not feel guilty while using in this weather. Very adequately usable in modern traffic. While a heavy lump (1.5+ tonnes) the 120bhp odd helps pull her along in traffic without feeling slow. Perfectly possible to do reasonable revs at 70mph with the overdrive too. Coprolalia, juular and calebaaront 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebaaront Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Took the P4 for a run to Tesco tonight to pick up some shopping. I haven't done a lot of miles in this beast yet but im already loving it LightBulbFun, Dyslexic Viking, stuboy and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 She is an easy one to warm to and really glad you're also enjoying her too. If I hadn't got the Spitfire (which I still absolutely love), I'd likely still have this old girl. Difference is that I can't bring the Spitfire out in this weather (I'm not a masochist like @N Dentressangledriving it in all weathers 😂). Where as you can bring this out relatively guilt free and I feel a bit jealous of that! It has made me ponder about getting a more guilt free classic for the winter. I mean I could do the BGT but that's still shiny and winters make it stuff less shiny. Not great when I intend to sell it next year. Which means I'm on a hunt for a car again... except I have literally no room left 🫣 I always say I never revisit a car that I've owned before. However I could be awfully tempted by another P4... calebaaront and N Dentressangle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebaaront Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 Little Rover update, the wipers are now dead. I'm not sure what this could be? The spindles look loose so I'll be looking at that when I get a chance. It drives beautifully though and I'm loving it so far. When I get the chance I'll spray the red oxide back to the original colour. It looks absolutely stunning at night though SiC, mercedade, Dyslexic Viking and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
