Blackhawk did you buy a A1?

EDIT: So you did. Where's the Mini?

Sure I've seen the R8 in Bradford/Leeds.

Did you get a photo of the front of the car?

Aye, missing a fog light blank and all.

How much of that is a BMW Mat?

Don't think they had any real involvement, most parts of it are from a Civic.

Done 140 miles in it today, did the job and used less than £15 of fuel from what I can gather - 450 miles to £40.

One day Matthew, you'll own a car worthy of an OcUK thread.

One day.

Surley the money you have piled into the rovers you keep buying and putting money into would have bought a bit better car by now?!

I had a workmate who only insisted on buying Rovers, even when they were nails! It must be in the blood

You know, it's surprising the amount of people who have a nice Rover Turbo, sell it, only to come back looking for another a few years later.

I've been saying for years that I want a classic Scoob but by the time I'm in a position where I can afford one, the price of fuel will make it pointless to do so.

Nevermind, my Rover (with a proper engine) does me just fine. And I don't seem to have anywhere near the same problems that Mat seems to with his cars. Mat, you need to look after them better! Stop giving them an even worse image!

It annoys me that he won't even considering something that isn't a Rover

agw_01 · 26 Jun 2012 at 17:24

It annoys me that he won't get another 620Ti.

At least that's a half decent Rover!

"I've bought this as a cheap runabout to save money"

*spends countless hours bodging the car and working on it most weekends then it inexplicably dies*

"HAI GUYS I HAVE ANOTHER ROVER!"

Rinse and repeat

It's only my second Saab and nothing has ever happened stopping me from driving it so up yours!

Tbh Rob, how many BMWs have you had now? And how many weekends have you spent fixing them?

But I know mine are/were sheds and I don't claim them to be anything but.

Currently ones are just some fun/something to do at weekends (Devon is BORING), not a "sensible" daily...I have the trusty reliable Mondeo for that.

Howard · 26 Jun 2012 at 18:12

This thread needs more trusty Mondeos
