old minis  got about 5 sat here

I had a Rover SD1 once, Rovers half arsed attempt at a last ditch attempt at making something good like they used to, although the car was doomed, it was actually a great drivers car, well the Twin Plenum Vitesse V8 was anyway...
The whole Rover/Honda deal was a complete joke, and a blot on British engineering landscape... BMW had the right idea, when they took over Rover, and killed it off, but hung on to the Mini brand/name, it was a shrewd move.
The Rover 400/MG/Blah Blah Blah was, and still is nothing more than a mediocre car, If you enjoy that sort of cheap and boring build quality, buy an old Imprezza instead!
