Rovertech 2.0

As subject, in Northampton. Has had a head gasket failure, still drives but uses water. Recent brakes, exhaust. Rear wheels in very good shape, as is the interior except the drivers bolster. Already taken, lights front and rear. Car is in very good order, if not for the hgf failure and having a ZS V...

Well bit of a bump - just had 1 guy here looking for a taxi - he spent 30 minutes going over every inch of the bodywork - pointing out every blemish (tiny tiny - not through the paint scratches) then saying it would need a respray. I pointed out it is 8 years old but he said he expected it to be per...

still for sale - still asking £1000ono

I forgot to say the car does come with 2 fobs and keys - and they both work.

umm - unlikely - there are a few round here just like it though - but not diesels.

An update - I have had a new tyre fitted and put the alloy back on - tracking needed doing so I paid for that too.

New car is here so I have 4 now - this has to go!!!

Price drop to £1000ono

Hiya all, I have landed a new job with a car - which has arrived. Not enough space for any more cars so mine has to go:( The pic shows the spare wheel fitted - the original alloy is back on now with a new tyre. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/scottclarke/ebaypics/DSCF3206a.JPG http://homepage.ntlworld....

Hiya all, well I'm back in the Rover fold since I'm now in possesion of a nice 45 TD. However, this is ever so slightly OT since it doesn't involve that car - though I hope those of you with experience can offer some advice anyway:) One simple Q to kick off........ With a no-fault claim will my no c...

Uh, if your running Windows XP is does it anyway. You may need to activate the feature, just open the clock, goto internet time then click 'enable synchro'

Before I got the 800 I was running a diesel on waste oil from the local chip shop:) You just filter it then heat it till all the water has evaporated. Only downside is when its cold you have to heat the oil in the 'tank' even when you are not using it since it solidifies a bit! I used a 12V cup warm...

I'm pretty sure at least one of local Police T5's is modded. I saw one accelerate from a standstill right outside our home, chasing a stolen car. OK, so it was external observation and I have no numbers, but it was running an external wastegate (non-recirc) and it was VERY fast, waaay faster than my...

Long story alert!!! *** used for legal reasons A fatal happened right in front of me once, thing was, I could see it coming and had already reached for my phone before it happened. Old geezer in a **old car** overtaking an unloaded 40ft flatbed up a hill, speed limit was 60, single carriageway, so 5...

They are unless I get to em first, be a week or two though:(


Oh, is this the place?

Yeah, and OT, but since you mention em;)

Back when I had my RS2000 I went crazy with the lights, as you did then:) Had 4 driving lamps, big Hella ones, when they were on it seemed a good simulation of daylight!

Aren't all fog lights aimed at the ground though? Should be, but even if they are not, the combination of mains and fogs shining directly at me as you pass over the top of a hill toward me does blind........ on winding country lanes this can be very dangerous. Thats the reason why there is a 55W li...

A m8 of mine has the first 1.8K series Elise tuned by himself and Dave Andrews. My m8 makes the airbox, also made the 4 throttle body setup until manufacturers caught on to the market for the K series..... for those that are familiar with the history........ The car was running 205BHP on standard Pi...

PC - Counterstrike, can hook you for years - yes, the same game!

Other - Amiga - Elite - a good 5 months over a christmas period

Myself and wife are insured via Budget on our 800 Vitesse. It is a group 15 car, I am 31, wife is 35, we pay £360 TPFT, fully comp was £420ish. Our area is not great and we have only 2 years NCB........ (I really have 10, but lack of car for years meant it lapsed:() 3 years ago we paid £480TPFT o...

OK, missed it, what was the fastest car?

Scott

Went in a P plate 600 today, can say for certain there is a lot more room in my 800, especially the back..... knees were almost touching the back of the drivers seat as i sat in the back, whereas in my 800 even with the drivers seat full back I have over 4 inches of knee clearance..... IMO the front...

Yep, me wants too:)

Can host too........ help out like!

Last I heard you did......... I do 'have' a license its just I lost it about 10 years ago.............. many change of addresses later and I'm a little concerned getting a replacement will be tough:(

Just been out to do some timed runs, by way of a cam watching the speedo:) Had the best launch ever, in any car:) Of 3 runs the best showed a 0-30 of 1.8sec with 60 coming up in 7.2sec. Screwed the change to third big style otherwise you could knock at least a second of that........... The other run...

I'm gonna ramble a bit now, winge time......... The current situation is rather depressing. A little history........ 5 years ago we were earning a combined sum of 50K. We could comfortably afford 3/4 bed detached (good sized rooms) with a garage. Obviously, 3 bed terraced were much cheaper and thats...

Why, whats happened?

My car died yesterday and today Mark met me with the part I needed. Weather turned rather nasty to put it mildly and he did travel considerable distance to meet me.

Thanks Mark:)

Scott - about to brave the weather to fit the water pump!

Gareth, yes it was;)

Hiya all, Having done 3000 odd miles since aquiring my car I was a little surprised no boy racers had appeared next to me at the lights, or anywhere really. Yesterday, in the town made of roundabouts I found myself overtaken on entry to a roundabout (impreza), I wasn't canning it by any means but wa...

sharky, I use one cam for all pics, purchasing decision was based on weight but the cam had to be 2mp at least....... turned out to be a Mustek GSmart mini 3. Less than 50g, very basic, CMOS. I was very surprised by the quality of the pics from the air, ground shots are not so good, not least becaus...

It was the Piccolo:)

Wee edit after 5 mins;)

HEHE, your right of course, pic was taken from a 36inch span high winger, with binoculars!

Aye, I did hang a camera on it:) Same cam that took the following pic, believe it or not:)

Wind, any heli's worst enemy! Aye, they don't like wind, basically, if its blowing more than 5mph best not bother!

Oh, the pic, aye, i used binoculars!

Scott

Hehe, my heli for sale is a piccolo...... Full control, as in motor speed (instead of collective), left/right - forward/back cyclic and left/right yaw. Top speed is probably on the order of 60mph but you can't see it beyond 30M so a bit of a non-issue! A link to a vid of mine, bit of a naff cam so d...

Hehe, well since someone has posted a picture of a Piccolo model heli I geuss its ok for me to say anyone wanna buy one? I have one with 35 hours airtime, very stable for a micro, very fast and unlike cars it can go up/down and hover too! Seriously, it is for sale, complete ready to fly with battery...
