Inappropriate apostrophes. People saying 'end of.' Will Smith and rampant nepotism. And oh, so many many more...

In terms of 75s, I dislike the obsession with buying cars that are Connoisseurs, and the rubbishing of all other models, from many owners. It'll be interesting to see which models ages best, and survive in the greatest numbers.
In terms of P6s, I object to the obsession with V8s. They're nice cars, but, the 2000 is the original, and the car that Rover intended it to be. The V8s are a compromise, and, with the country's hobby of BL bashing, it's interesting to note that all V8s were produced with Rover under BL's ownership. I've had numerous people come up to me, looking round the car, and their first question is whether it's a V8. As soon as I tell them it's not, they either rubbish it, or lose all interest.
In short, the obsession with having the fanciest/largest engine variant of any model gets tiresome after a while.

Mine is a Classic, and am proud of the fact that I have one

It's got bits of Club and Connie anyway, it's a tourer

Feel the pain when members put 'oil' in their automatic boxes instead of 'fluid'.
Reference to wheel nuts. Our cars have bolts.

When you buy a packet of crisps, open and hardly any within

Hi

Listing on ebay says Buy it now or Make an offer

So you make an offer, the seller says he won't drop the price as it's already discounted

So why put Make an offer then!

Regards
