Don't let your age embarrass you. Just enjoy it cos the years whizz by.

If you reverse the figures for your age I'm even older than that.---

Bearing in mind that the car is older than I am, many people my age do not have the bias against Rover that many others do because they are too young. We're getting to the point where Rover will become a forgotten company and that's a bit sad. That said, I've had a surprising number of people tell me they think it's a cool car and of course I think they're right
Still driving it ???---I sometimes get into Teignmouth with my BRG R75.---

I think there are a couple of forum members in their mid eighties.---------They don't post very often at all though.


What was that TV program,----'one foot in the grave'.-----



PS. I'm rapidly running out of my School day peers.---

Hi and welccome to the sunny South Wast. Alas the virus has rather put a dampener on meetings and events this year. We are friendly lot and normally up for meet up. I guess with most of us probably being double vaxed by now a socially distant meeting isn't out of the question, but I don't think there is anything planned at the moment.

Send Cable Tie aka Matt Darke, our RS, a pm and see what’s about. He is in Torquay. I’m normally just down the road in Saltash but currently in London.
