My mate bought one of these for over the winter when he had a Lotus Elise...
It had a walnut effect dash!!!! 
Yep, walnut it is. I shouldn't grumble, it has a bespoke water feature in the back, and electric window switches. I use the word 'switches' very carefully, as I don't think they're connected to the windows........!

Still, it's got a brand new MOT. Which leads me to believe that:

- It's scarey what gets through an MOT with minimal comment, or
- Steve Wonder has opened a car care centre.

jv, the pillows and flat cap are in my garage - now if only I could get rid of the smell of boiled cabbage.......!   :shocked:

I'm sooooo jealous!!!

MOT's mean nothing!  I bought a Honda Integra which had been MOT'd 2 days before buying it... the ABS didnt work, the rear foglight didnt work, a balljoint was broken - and it had about 50 other things wrong with it after I had an independent inspection done on it.  It was a badly repaired accident damaged car (must've been near a right off!)  Thankfully it was from a garage, who took it back and gave me a full refund.  I know of at LEAST 2 other people who have bought and returned the same vehicle to the same garage (after I send them a copy of my report!!!)
Scumbags!

£200 for 2 months rental on a pile of Sh!t. Are you sure the guy selling it didn't mean you could buy it for £200? :rolleyes:

Or did he mean that he will give YOU £200 for driving it for 2 months :grin: :grin:

I've seen better cars written off in the Sheffield flood :wink:

I think you should post it on the "I love white" thread, as I'm sure they'll appreciate it more :laugh:

I have more if you can take it :evil:

Annual insurance of 68% the price of the car! It got messy as I had to go for the company that gave the cheapest quote on the Golf, as I'll have to make the change in a couple of months. The company have done me no favours by reporting a couple of minor break-ins to my company car, which count against me  :cry:, so the premium for the GTI will be around £680 - double the cost of insuring the Rover.

For a car that's worth 48 times more! Apparently, that's because cars like old Rovers are easy hits for joy riders, etc. Personally, I don't think any self-respecting, backwards-cap wearing, gum chewing, Burberry-wearing car thief would be seen dead in my Rover!

7 weeks 2 days and counting....

If it makes the wait feel less daunting, just stick a thin strip of red masking tape on the gril, cut out the letters "GTI" from silver card and stick them on the front and rear!  Then change the rover badge to a vw badge! :shocked:
