 I used to own a rover P6, never had head gasket trouble  :laugh: timing chain rattled though.

 

Seriously though, You can't go wrong with a oil burning rover bubble, wife had one and she loved it. Good mpg, reliable and quite quick off the lights :wink:

owned two cinquecnot sportings and one seicento sporting. Much more fun than my mk2 golf. mainly because Thy were like go karts when lowered and stiffened and if i smashed em up and didnt dies I would have just left it. Something brilliant about a car you dont care much about. Put a 1242cc engine out of a punto in one and It turned it into a right little machine aswell!

You and me both! I had a cinq which I'd swapped a 1.4 16V Stilo engine into.



That's the only picture I've got of it now, but I used to use it to do track days at Lydden Hill...

At 600KG and 100BHP it used to surprise me.

its a v6 not a k series. no head gasket failures here!

hate to tell you mate but the v6 is a k series engine, its a 2.5 KV6, granted not as prone to head gaskets as 1.8's ect but still a k series

dont bother me though im planning to go look at one on saturday,

my (my mums) 1.2 campus 06 plate clio. Enjoy borrowing this... Very simple... nothing to go wrong, great economy and can be driven flat out without worrying about losing your licence.

Currently shod with winter tyres on just the front... so added va va voom  :evil:

Ford Ka - honest and simple, if only they'd fitted a less asthmatic motor to the base ones.

The ZS180 got stonking reviews when it came out.  Never driven one, given the opportunity I'd give it a whirl.

Motorbikes off road.  The reason I will not take my motorbike test is that I would kill myself pretty quickly.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Ford Ka - Sad but true.. they can be fun to drive. Cousin bought a brand new one, before it fell to bits it was fun.
