ilkolad 9 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Ah Ah ! - this is Erik The Viking.. the excellent Rover Metro Diesel 14 CD was produced by this guy, capable of 60 mpg, and 100 mph! (it saved me big wedges of dosh did this little baby) the 820i 16 valve was also a product of the same, but alas was a failure.. a shame as it was a lot of car for yer money.. Its the same with all Rovers.. buy em and the part ex is zilch.. but nontheless excellent vehicles! Nowadays its 'shake yer ass' and the Citroen that rule the roost.. (Picasso?) personally I still drive a Rover as there's plenty of spares down at Loomies! Longbridge rulez .. ok! ilko.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayagorawiya? 4 Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Now Yer Talkin' B) Decent motors in their time, and still are. Always wanted one of these. There is one down the road from me, still going strong :D The Rover 90 Mr R.E.Scogings' award winning Rover 90. The Rover 90 was produced from 1954 to 1959, during this period 35,891 cars were built. The engine was increased in capacity from the earlier "75" and at 2638cc was the largest fitted to any P4. It developed 93 bhp giving an improved performance; the car could achieve 85 mph with the standard 4.3 to 1 axle ration and 90 mph with the optional 3.9 ratio. In 1955 the P4 range was given a facelift; the boot line was also raised giving increased capacity. The following year the front wings were increased in height and incorporated flashing indicators. The sidelamps, which had been on the wing tops, were now built into the wings lower down. Coupled with this, a peculiar feature of the P4 was the small chrome beads which reflected the light from the sidelamps to the driver (They were not for attaching wedding ribbons - this was a mischevious rumour). These can be seen in the picture above the headlights. In 1956 the frewheel was deleted and a Laycock-de-Normanville overdrive was introduced as an option. The Rover 90 was the archetypal P4 and even now people tend to refer to the P4 as a Rover 90 whatever the actual model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My Rover 80 (2088cc) in its day was a kewl machine.. it had a reserve fuel switch on the dashboard, which permanently displayed a red light, indicating low fuel (1970s - 10 bob a gal.)..

I will give you the answer to the first clue. The Avitar which i have used is the Scotish flag flying, so that's the country *Scotland* Daaaaa Now that we have established the country that you can find him in the second question is where abouts in that country ??????? OK Just in case you didn't read the other right answer his name is ERIC the VIKING.. Another Clue OK then we have established that he is called ERIC the VIKING and the country that he resides in SCOTLAND, OK so far, now where abouts in Scotland can we find him, CLUE > if i was you i would start in the Highlands and work my way up, but be careful not to get your feet wet B) The picture below is not a visual clue B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
