Rovertech 2.0

As title,

Sold it to "trogti" a few years back, he tested the head decided it needed work, did the work, it blew up, then he had no faith in the car anymore and sold it on. Doesn't come back on insurance database etc etc anymore.

Just curious as to whether anyone knows where it ended up?

reg L580KVU , Jap import coupe, tahiti blue, forged pistons, standard rods, T28 from pulsar, koni's, etc etc etc , ran 1.5 bar when I had it on a GBE manual controller. 331 BHP, 296 lb/ft at last test, plus gas (gas removed before sale though, but fittings in fuel lines, etc were still there just blanked off)

Pure curiosity, bought it totally standard and 58,000 miles on it, mint condition, proceeded to make it much less than mint, but a lot less standard and a lot faster, lots of time and £££ in it, so thought I'd ask where it ended up, 99% certain it got pulled to bits somewhere along the line but such is life...

Just a car, collection of bits etc, and such is life, expected as much but tbh gutted at that if it's true

Especially as after Gary "trogti" blew it up I made him the offer of buying it back as was with a blown engine and he said his girlfriend had lent him some of the money, or co-signed on it or something and wouldn't let him, if he then fixed it and sold it to a scrappy (makes no sense, more likely he just scrapped it) seems a poor show. Though that all said the most likely is that he sold it in, someone stripped it and scrapped the shell, I hope.

cars are wierd, lumps of metal etc, but I was actually a bit gutted to read this lol, had it many many years, loads of fun, loads of £££, loads of stress etc lol. Still the most fun car I've ever had.

*sniff* I love u!.

Almost as bad as VVC mini who made out that he had bought my hose kit on here and that I had been done over.

Then oh wait, no he hadnt he had one for the wrong car but didnt think to open it and check first.

Mine turned up completely fine a few days later.



Its not nice to joke around when it comes to money and people being screwed over.

I no

I do apologise

I just got tempted because I've herd alot of people latly asking were their old cars are, so I couldnt resist

I often wonder how many people knew my car before I got it...surely a few as it had 13 owners on the book when I bought it over 4 years back lol
Lots of receipts darn sarf from kent performance and such.
There's also a receipt from motobodge for a predator bodykit clean and wolfrace alloys powder coating so at some point it must have looked like sh1t, pretty much like it does now but with more plastic stuck to it

i lold

lol me too.

James - thanks man lol.

Berger - easy dude, twas just a joke, and it wasn't like i got screwed over over money etc, I got fair price when I sold the car, well I thought it was worth more tbh but you always do. No need to go on a rant though mate.

Guess we'll never know where it ended up then, I asked Gary once and he said he'd tried e-mailing the guy he sold it to but he never replied.

cheers guys

Ross

I was lucky, mine turned up on Flea-bay and I bought it back for a fraction of what I sold it for!!

All be it in a terrible state... but I understand where you are coming from.

Most of these cars hold sentimental value, as daft as that sounds.

hi Ross the car was sold on as i said, to a chap off pistonheads. I put too much money and work into the car to just scrap it, as did you Ross.still the quickest car i have ever owned and was still very quick after i rebuilt it.
i have never managed to get back in contact with him since, weather he scrapped it or not i dont know but i guess that is a possibility with it not been on the database anymore which is real sad to hear .
