AnnoyingPentium Posted Saturday at 18:42 Posted Saturday at 18:42 I won't tell, if it's what I think it is. Well done, rather you than me. RoverFolkUs 1

Dick Cheeseburger Posted Saturday at 19:17 Posted Saturday at 19:17 Good man. Great to see it have a chance, rather than be turned into kitchen appliances. AnnoyingPentium and RoverFolkUs 1 1

Not very common in its day, and certainly a rare sight now Probably tries to be an executive saloon more than a hot hatch It's allegedly* knocking on the doors of 200bhp Coprolalia, fatharris, Tickman and 2 others 4 1
RoverFolkUs Posted 19 hours ago Author Posted 19 hours ago The seller has just kindly updated with a picture of it's departure so the collection delivery is LIVE! Poo count - zero Breakfast shot - forgot twosmoke300, Popsicle, Coprolalia and 3 others 5 1
Rust Collector Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Hopefully it’s my cursed XM and I just don’t know about it. IronStar, Keymaster, RoverFolkUs and 10 others 13

So depending on traffic and whether storm Bert decides to do me a favour and blow it away en-route then I'd expect sometime between 6-8pm Coprolalia, privatewire and AnnoyingPentium 3
RoverFolkUs Posted 17 hours ago Author Posted 17 hours ago Phone call received from driver, ETA 7pm Poo count remains at zero. IronStar, AnnoyingPentium, twosmoke300 and 1 other 3 1
Dyslexic Viking Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago It's quiet here, has he ended up in fetal position, crying over what he's bought?

RoverFolkUs Posted 12 hours ago Author Posted 12 hours ago I don't think it would have taken a superintendent detective to work out what I've rescued! It is of course the one and only @fatharris Rover 620ti! Some 6.5 hours later it's made its journey from Cornwall to sunny* Sussex in one piece Incidentally the recovery driver had been delivering a competition won Rover 45 with a 1.8 turbo swap down towards Cornwall with this being the perfect piece of the viking longship puzzle for the return journey! Initial impressions I couldn't be any happier, many thanks to @fatharris for his part co-ordinating the collection arrangements, @twosmoke300 for reducing his garage street cred and the recovery driver who probably ought to be on here! Perfect timing for me to sit down and peruse the extensive paperwork file and work out a plan to get it back on the road. High Jetter, stuboy, Wibble and 36 others 25 1 1 12
twosmoke300 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago If @fatharrishas worked on it then there will be labels and pen marks everywhere 😂 mk2_craig and fatharris 2

fatharris Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Who's owning up to that blowover on the N/S/R arch then Must be a weird effect of the light as there's no over spray there, honest!
