Yeah....my car is ready!!

I will pick it up before 5:30 and be home early tonight as well so that's a bonus!

Derek.

Thanks Derek

Tried adding a pic but no joy as no 'browse' to select a pic from my option that I can find. Tho that will just be me of course. Not a photobucket user (yet).

Hope your car is back, sorted and not too pricey! I get mine back tomorrow. Nothing much was found amiss, just a service, 6 new plugs, cleaned those plenum holes (yes there was water in it...), rear pads... so nothing nasty concealed by the seller, thankfully.

Yes I was really very pleased to find a 75 with those finishing touch features... took time in hunting one down and found it in Harrogate, eventually! A sunroof was a must on my list. Partner has a convertible so it's the least I could have

. No, I've not got the wooden steering wheel so my airbag should stay untampered... BUT I'll be keeping a close eye on my torpedo badges!!

Looking forward to seeing 'Primrose' as the reason I have a 75 today is that when I was a boy a well-heeled neighbour took delivery of a primrose yellow 3500 Coupe (that would be about '68 I guess) and since then I was smitten by big Rover saloons... and the yellow is a rare sight!

Cheers
Gary

Hi Gary,

Try Photobucket, it is really easy and free!

You don't have to worry too much about your torpedoes as I have some already (still to fit them mind - see valeting section!) and so does pab. Keep an eye on the others though

.

I will be interested to see Yellow Peril as well as I can't remember seeing a yellow 75 in years now.

Oooh.. I am happy!! Just worked out how to post the youtube video direct in to a post;

For those that have not as yet looked at the video of last year's event please have a look and see if it whets your appetite for this years?

For those that followed the earlier link, this is the same, just embedded this time since I now know it can be done. Yay!

Wow, it looked like a great event, I bet Actros couldn't get them lined up as neat and tidy as that. Some fantastic cars there in a great setting, Cant wait.

This is not just any Doughnut this is an MG 260 Doughnut...

Couldn't do it the tyre cost alone.....

All joking aside now it just is not me to do that sort of thing.
