Red. Y Reg. Really comfortable. Just did not inspire me in any way and found it dull after a few months. Sold it to a friend and he loved it.

I'm sure I'll miss some, probably not all in the right order and often owned 2 or 3 at a time.

82 Fiesta 1.1
88 Peugeot 309 89 Fiat Tipo 1.4DGT 89 Escort 1.4L 90 Nova 1.2 Sting 90 Orion 1.6GL 91 Sierra 1.8LX 92 Astra 1.6L 92 Maestro 1.3LX 93 Polo 1.3CL 97 Accord 2.2i VTEC 04 Rover 75 CDTI Connoiseur 12 Audi A3 1.6 TDI S-Tronic 15 Golf Match TSI DSG So nothing much there to get very excited about. My Rover was a great car in its day, but things for me have moved on and the Audi and Golf, whilst a bit less characterful, have been more reliable, better equipped, cheaper to run and more spacious inside than the Rover whilst being more compact designs. So 21st century cars as opposed to the 20th century Rover. Still enjoy the forum though, keep up the good work.

I'm not about to admit to Manta GTE, or Alfa 33 sportwagon gold cloverleaf, ZT260, Audi 80 Sport, or indeed an UR Quattro....which ranks among one of the best cars I've driven in my life. I've owned several mini, moggie 1000, a mk1 Granada, a 1953 Ford Prefect, datsun 120y, datsun 240Z and even an MGBGT, various metro maestro and montego, even a Chrysler 180 In terms of yanks, I've had a 1972 plymouth barracuda 426 hemi And a Marlin Roadster built using parts scavenged from a terminally ill Marina TC coupe.

Oops! I forgot a nightmare Austin Princess 1.7 which definitely was not a princess! She gave me problems right from day one. The worst was misfiring so badly that she stalled going up Porlock Hill. We blocked the road until finally reversing back down the hill and having to be pushed back and forth (Thanks hikers!) to turn round and go back down again, backfiring and belching black smoke to the lay-by. Much fettling with distributor and plugs and returned to dealer several times before a trade in deal was done!
Porlock Hill Vid (Not mine!)
