In the middle of July, I drove the car to the Isle and Skye, and back, in the space of 2.5 days. I travelled up on the Monday after work, had a quiet day on the Island on the Tuesday, and then travelled home on the Wednesday afternoon. I travelled a total of 635 miles on that run, and the car perfor...

I've realised that it's been absolutely ages since I last updated this, so here goes. A couple of months ago, I thought I was going to have to sell the car, having received a rather scary insurance renewal, but this issues has since been resolved. The car certainly doesn't just sit around looking pr...

I went to the Scottish all Rover rally at the Falkirk wheel on SUnday, and the car behaved impeccably. 8-) A new door mirror was fitted the day before, as the one that was fitted was pretty ugly, and didn't suit the car. Other than that, I just cleaned it as best I could after work on Saturday, and ...

Since buying my Rover, the state of the interior has always let it down somewhat. After the incident involving the oil pressure guage leaking oil all over my driver's carpet, I had to source a couple of new mats. I didn't get a new set of carpets, just some mats, and didn't fit them until after the ...

A few weeks ago, I took my car to the garage to get a tiny piece of welding done, before the MOT in the afternoon. However, as usual with this car, things didn't quite go to plan. It was decided to cut the small rotten section out, and weld a new piece in. However, when it was cut out, it was discov...

It's been a while since I updated this. Here are a few updates. It's had its new exhaust fitted at last, and my, it sounds fantastic now, especially on my little road trip that I went on with some mates, as I will explain shortly. The four new Firestone tyres are now fitted, resulting in much quiete...

I like to keep the car looking as good as it possibly can. It's washed at least twice a week, and waxed once a week, roughly. It gets a full works clean fairly regularly too, but since my car isn't, and won't be a show car, I don't go to obsessive lengths. I am very fussy though, and always like to ...

I spotted this the other week, but forgot to post it. It was an MGB originally, apparently. http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/ac112/FK1991/Image0086.jpg Yesterday, I saw many cars, obviously because of drive it day. I saw, a Bentley Continental 2 door, in black with a red coachline, which I thought...

Sounds like a nice car! I've got an SC front pipe if you're needing to buy one. Any photos?

I think it's rather a good issue, I've not read all of it yet, but so far, I'm impressed. Regarding the V12 E-type, I wouldn't describe the article as 'slagging it off', rather it's an honest verdict on a late car. Even a series 3 fan will admit that it's not as pretty as an early car, and they were...
