Popular Post RoverFolkUs Posted November 24, 2024 Author Popular Post Posted November 24, 2024 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. Garythesnail, Bren, AnnoyingPentium and 57 others 41 1 1 17
