  1. Same as you Fly, i used to like me Rovers, first one was a Sd 1 Vanden Plas V8 then the Sd1Vitesse V8 and even though they had a bad reputation, both of mine were great. I then had the 2.7 Vitesse now that was a lovely engine, smooth as butter, made by honda. Then a 420 turbo, went like stink, 220 turbo coupe (tomcat) then a 218diesel (proper rattlerly engine) a 620 turbo diesel, a 620turbo petrol next generation 216 and finally a MGzr turbo diesel (that was like a little go kart). So yes, you could say that I liked them a bit. Maybe I was just lucky but i can't think of any of them giving me any trouble and I think, for the money they were good value and more luxurious than Ford's in my opinion.

  2. After my first association with powered transport, two wheels, i started on four wheels in my fathers mk2zodiac (vvo 767) but soon moved on to minis. Just about had every variant, apart from the 1071 Cooper 's. Apart from my lotus elan, have stuck to rover for the majority of my time until they stopped producing. Now it's anything that takes my fancy, no particular brand is a favorite.

    Been trying to download a picture of my water dragon (cross stitch not live) from postimage but can’t remember how to do it, ended up losing the pictures completely. Clicked on everything but nothing seemed to work, going to lie down in a darkened shed with a damp cloth on my forehead and think about fence posts.

    Don't worry SG, there's lots of folks on here that will 'shed'  some light on it.

  4. We've had numerous 'Dysons'a compete waste of money, now use a 'Mielie' cat and dog model, shmbo rates it above anything else. She uses the vax on the artificial turf and I use a Henry in the garage. I think also, that to comply with the 'EU' all vacuums have been downrated in power!!!. Obviously they don't want you to be too clean!!
