What a waste of a nova sport......

And if Vicky had the fore thought to use a C20LET......

Those SDi's still look lovely :y
-
;D ;D ;D at Jezzas bubble perm and VBH twitching like she has parkinsons whilst she does her piece to camera. I'm reminded why I never watch fifth gear (is she still in it?) :D
-

Sorry for the mistake but I can't remember them just seen pictures when my Grandad liked them ;D :P

plaguerised from the Ferrari Daytona,and all the better for it.
Shame they used to fall apart and rot so fast.

i fondly remember my v8 in bright yellow and a manual had no rear box on it cos it fell off so a straight pipe was used god it sounded nice and one other thing never worried bout puttin fuel in cos so much fun to drive :y

Having been in both I know which one I would rather own.

...........but apart from those few details,a damn fine car. :D ;D ;D
Only ever drove one,the steering was so light and devoid of feel,Icould have swore the wheel wasnt connected to anything.A bit unnerving.

Lol.....my aunt had one of the last of them....a Vitesse auto (twin plenum).
I remember being in it and smoke coming out of the trip computer.....which apparantly rarely worked anyway and was a swine to operate.
The other thing I remember was the Rover badge missing off the passenger side dash....its only when this is removed you realise that it hides the hole for for the steering column when in left hand drive format.
That and the rust.....so much rust.

Saw a Clarkson programme several years ago where he said that they used to transport the unpainted bodyshells from one plant to another on lorries,even when it was raining,sounds like they didnt stand much chance from day one. ::)

Doors fall off too if Top Gear is anything to go by.

There are not enough pinches of salt in the world for top gear! ::)

A mate of mine was unfortunate enough to briefly own the 2.6 straight six one.

Another mate of mine had a Maestro Vanden Plas with a similar trip computer (the annoying talking one). It would blurt out totall cr@p at random. Fill it up with fuel and it would tell you "low fuel" at the next roundabout just to wind him up. ;D
He had a special tool (actually a windwcreen de-icer) with which he used to beat the trip computer when it misbehaved. The irony is, when it developed a habit of telling him periodically that his brakes required service he totally ignored it, and after a few weeks his brakes failed. :o
That and the pointless digital dash. It was anybody's guess what speed you were doing. Just had to try and ignore it. I think it read 188 MPH for a while. Wishful thinking for a 1.6 litre S series <shudder>.

i had a Renault Laguna RXE that could talk and it did similar things Rear doors werent shut and the fuel was critical even though the guage said a full tank!
i seen this on my clarkson dvd its called Head2Head
MDTM's right VBH should of dumped a C20LET in or atleast a C20XE would of given the rover a good run then
