Well done. I do like the Ti. Despite now having a Vitty ...

So
Anybody for a 300+ bhp Ti???
NOT
I don't want to play those games anymore
Why oh why oh why?
Had a very nasty experience with threats to my wife by somebody who shall remain nameless over the coupe
Left a bad taste in my mouth as it were
So coupe has gone to somebody who can enjoy it and make it even more powerful
And My wife can forget the *sniff* I love u! who caused her sleepless nights of worry
But I won't forget
They're coming to get you............................

Sounds like we have a plan. The Dave Wrecking Kru go in, bust the place up, smash the furniture, and generally maim the b*stards (and turn on all the taps and block the toilet), then Paul comes in and gets all nasty
Seriiously, hope it all gets sorted

Thanks guys
But anyway
Love my Ti - it's big, and comfortable, and easy to get along with (just like me really
)
Seriously though, TiRich and Gary have both looked after it well and it shows.
She's a beaut - thanks Gary

really sorry to hear that Paul - at least you've stayed with the Rover game, I think 'that' problem which has been threatening your good wife needs sorting once and for all!!
Threats towards a woman, how low!!
Unless the thing responsible I've naturally thinking about isn't the same.
Was: 1994 Rover 220 Coupe Turbo
Now: 2010 SEAT Leon Cupra

Twas one threat only Bjorn, and be assured - retribution is coming.
Would rather forget the bad side of things though
Dead chuffed with my Ti and wish Gary all the best as he takes the coupe to even more power

Paul told me this a while ago about his proposal, as a massive fan of his car i didn't want it to go, but as a mate, i think you've made a good decision Paul, and i hope we can still have our car tatting evenings.
Hope you enjoy it mate.

Paul,
How would you say the Ti compares, handling-wise?
Roverlessness - what a strange feeling!

Haven't tested the handling of the Ti yet mate
I want to get used to it first.
After driving the coupe it's like being in a ship
I'll get used to it though

Sound tactics to allow more time to get used to it - will seem quite small and nippy in time ...
With any 'new' car, take your time to get to really know it will pay off well in the longer run....

It's a shame to see the coupe go after getting all that work done. We all know someone that sells uprated intercoolers and cold air boxes for the ti though

The more immoral and immature the recipient the more worthwhile it'll be. Presumably the winner has their costs paid for and that could financially sink the toad in question for years to come. You've got my suport anyhow.

Madness!!!
Totally understand and respect your decision mate, and hope you get the other stuff sorted, but, you sure its not because your getting old as well though, since when has big and comfy mattered? Or am i just a young whipper snapper who doesnt know any better!!
Oh my god im 23 next week
Better start looking for a Ti myself....
