Good news Sam glad your attending.

AGW you should have realised by now that in fact no, the Rover jokes will never end and will in time only get worse until you join us on the dark side

Well Si, if I get my new car... I'll be the one laughing

agw_01 · 28 Feb 2006 at 21:47

Welcome Mike!

El, hahahah, ph34r the Roverness of the thread

Hmm do I go and shut this Mr2 up

Go on, you know you want to show me why I should have bought a Turbo!

agw_01 · 28 Feb 2006 at 22:29

El's Saxo is somewhat rapid, especially when compared to the likes of my 214.

Not anymore though

Confused about this

It was my poor attempt at a joke, sorry

Think a dirty girl, what are they normally known as? ****, bike, etc

Plenty of sheep about mate, mostly on the side of the roads

lol, I was going to say... we've got enough sheep already.

:eek:

Look at you dirty post whores! I move off to another thread and you lot invade

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 16:09

Definitely wait Andy. I've been skint so many times and really wish I'd saved up instead of buying things I didn't really need.

Like this month, I'm buying the car and a DV camera. Roll on 10th April, lol. Oh wait, that's no good either... I now have to pay increased tax :eek:

I'm waiting until the exhaust on the GSi rusts before getting a stainless jobbie fitted. It already sounds pretty throaty through the standard system.

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 18:38

Just got your text Marv! Yeah man, you can defo come with me.

If I still had the 214 I would have said noooooo way... but in the GSi it's not a problem :cool:

Put a deposit down yesterday, pick it up on the 11th.

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 19:07

In your car Bug One, it'd take what... like an hour

Seriously though, Mike and Sam are coming up from Southampton. You could all meet up somewhere and convoy here.

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 19:32

Close enough

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 19:37

I think I'm going to remove my sig. It's torturing me.

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 19:37

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 19:44

lol, that didn't stop you before Mike. Why should you stop now

Seriously, if you want to bash it, feel free. I've heard it all before.

leave it as it is and be proud, ignore the pond life.

It's that because of them, it's because I don't have the car yet and to see that picture just makes me want it even more.

Lopez, yeah sorry about that mate

I didn't take the picture. Expect a nice spangly new sig to come in.... ohhhh about 10 days :cool:

At least the smaller car suits a man of your size.

It's the same size as my 214.

Marv, don't you start

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 20:02

No I don't Si. I thought you were being 110% totally honest

Does it? I guess because the door looks like it goes further back, but it's actually a bigger door.

Still the same length, width and height as the 214.

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 20:04

There, my sig just got a whole lot better :cool:

Daz, yep the 214 was a 5 door, but if you had both cars side by side, you would see that the front doors on the 220 are longer, as they'd need to give access to the back seats.

I think that's why it looks shorter than the 214, because the gap between the back of the car and front door is less.

As long as you can corner, you "might" keep up

Well seeing as how my suspension is going on on the 12th, and I made great progress through the first few bends at the pre-meet (was reeling Si in nicely

) on standard springs, I don't think I'll have a much of a problem.

Marv, get dieting

agw_01 · 1 Mar 2006 at 21:02

Not with these brakes :cool:

262mm vented discs at the front, vented discs at the rear (I think, could be solid at the rear). Not forgetting the sexy ABS controller under the bonnet :cool:

I think this is the only Rover I've seen not to have the ABS warning light lit-up on the dash.
