Where to look for cars for sale

It's a Rover 400 Sport

I think Fox is referring to the MG badge (i.e. hiding the fact it's a Rover).

Yet, if you think about it... the MG badge is similar to the Mx range of cars from BMW... a performance variant if you will.

It was never a secret that Rover and MG were the same company.

edit... beaten by the man himself. At least I was on the right lines though

It's like porn... for the elderly.

I thought Andy only did ancient Rovers

And a Rover 400 isn't ancient, is it not?

96-05* so hardly THAT old

*I've become a Rover 45 denier - it didnt exist. It was a 400 with new lights.

I actually dont mind my girlfriends 400. It's reasonably well put together for a 98 Escort/Astra rival and it's been pretty reliable.

Would you beleive its had two headgaskets though

What made her buy one of them? Its one of the last cars id picture a young woman driving... or am i missing something?

[TW]Fox · 7 May 2008 at 00:04

She got it passed down from her parents who bought it new or something. She didnt pick it and has no interest in cars.

ZG002 · 7 May 2008 at 00:07

That explains it then. You mission if you choose to accept it! Is to get her driving something you would consider driving yourself..

That's easily done.

She can be a named driver on the 530.

[TW]Fox · 7 May 2008 at 00:09

She wants a TT but for all the wrong reasons. I give up car wise. If I cant convince her she needs a Mondeo, nobody can.

Two?!? That's unheard of... especially on a '98 car. I'm going to say it wasn't done properly the first time.

But I agree with you, (most) girls + cars =

Unless the sarcasm has gone well over my head, ive heard it happening before, unless again, the jobs not been done properly first time, although I do know the mechanic who its happened to and his workmanship is generally very good.
