Bye-Bye, Katie...

[philgold]

Had to send 'katie off to 'The great Rover Dealership in the Sky' today

As the guy drove her off....the engine expired in a great cloud of smoke...!

Maybe it was meant to be....

Bye-Bye, Katie...I'll miss you.

Phil.

[carl747]

You getting a other one ?

[Cableguy]

This the one your restoring ?

[philgold]

This the one your restoring ?

I was thinking about it..but the more i poked around, the worse the dreaded 'tin worm' was.

Both sills, both rear quarter panels, under the hood, one of the chassis rails.

Maybe I'll get a coupe.

Phil.

Sad news, but maybe it just saved you having to make a tough decision.

.

Youve saying that engine was never a good runner since the last uffington meet Phil, i remember you saying how well the my old 416 ran

Wonder what happend, something actually let go or did the hg fail

Either way, get another, and stay in touch

[Vard66]

Hot damn, Phil, really?

That's a shame, dude.

[munky]

Katie? seriously?...

[Nom]

[Vard66]

IIRC, Joe, it was because the reg plate had KT on it.

[munky]

my numberplate has RAZ in it, should I call the car 'razmatazz' and do jazz hands every time I say it?

giving cars human names is retarded.

[stefaclese]

giving cars human names is retarded.

Just like giving humans animal names.

[munky]

I didnt choose my name

[Stevo135+]

But not as retarted as liking BMW's!

[munky]

But not as retarted as liking BMW's!

or not being able to spell retarded...

[Vard66]

He has a point Steve, that was a fail.

[MarkCoupe]

Dammit im ratarded as well

[Stevo135+]

Hell im just a simple brummie rover owner who makes mistakes!
But i didn't make an Epic fail by buying the wrong brand of car!
Now that is a a massive Fail as well as being ratarded!

[philgold]

My cars have always had names...usually the number plate gives me the name...or something in the car's character, or colour.

Phil.

Cue the Stranglers Rattus era which features what is possibly the best bass guitar riff ever ?

Not to worry Phil
I didn't want to be negative in your other thread but lashing loads of cash at her didn't strike me as being a good idea, you can shop around now and find a minty car that you like. Rover or otherwise as someone above said do stay in touch

[BlueRover]

Before Ruby, I only gave one other car a name and that was Stella (sadly now gone)

what have you got against honda's?

I thought you rover chaps loved them cos you can claim your cars are part honda, and thus better...


Phil - fair enough, never seen the point of it myself but each to their own. Only car I ever named was the sh*tbox... for obvious reasons lol.

[Stevo135+]

Honda's are cool and just sit hand in hand with all the best Rover car's! They made our cars better, and we made thier cars popular and actually make people want to buy them cos of the Rover style cool we gave them!

I like any brand of car except BMW's oh wait a sec i said car so thats ok that is exciting and decent to drive, Hell even the French have produced some of the best small fast cars that ever will be made! No Civic type R will ever have the feel or precision of a Clio Renaultsport etc! All the French did wrong was use paper and card for bodywork, but you can't have everything i suppose!

[munky]

you have issues.

[marty_boy]

all my cars have had names my favourite once was when me and jen were even more skint then we are now i got offered a job and needed a car fast i found a british racing green H reg 414 for 120 with tax and mot the car lasted over a year we caled it ronnie. since then all my cars have had names not thought of one for the silver ti Jen decides the names.
