That is genius! ;D ;D ;D
I must have too much time on my hands today as I've just read the questions... Sooo Funny! ;D ;D :y :y

TB might have something to say about this answer to a question...
"You work for Microsoft? I can see this would be an excellent company car from anyone in that fine organisation. Rather like your software the Rover will work for a while without any problems and then just stop for no apparent reason. Unlike your software it will not blame the user for the the fact it has decided to no longer work, neither will it then ask me if it can contact its parent organisation to report back on how crap it is. " ;D ;D

Made me smile for a while!! ;D ;D

Question & Answer Answered On
Q: Hi, is this an 8 or 16 valve engine please. If you don't know then a photo would help? 26-Mar-09
A: Oh no, a technical question! Errrr, Elton John, errrr Plymouth Argile, errrr, I'll get back to you on that. Did you notice how i avoided the obvious joke of 8 valves in the engine and another 8 in the radio? I'm quite pleased with myself for not using that old gag.
Q: I am in a singing competition where the first prize is £250. The next couple of weeks are dedicated to different decades and I need to choose a song from the 70's, 80's and 90's. I have a good vocal range for a bloke (bass to tenor). What would you recommend? Oh, I have just bought a new car and wish I had spotted your listing before I did so. Best wishes, James. 26-Mar-09
A: If i were you I would choose "Making your mind up" by Bucks Fizz, i think that song combined with a pair of Chinos that you could whip off part way through the song to reveal some tasteful 1980's blue speedos would go along way to ensuring your success in the competition.
Q: Dear sir - you have found me out. I am indeed from Australia and I guess that makes my jibe about the heated rear window a little redundant. Whilst I feel a little humiliated, in my defence I do think it incumbent to point out that not all of the other 77 questions asked appear to be from genuine buyers. On reflection though, I think I may reappraise my situation. In your little precis of the highlights of the country I now call home, you failed to mention we also lay claim to scorpions, Kevin Rudd, crocodiles, daily shark attacks, Fosters Lager and of course Neighbours. The snakes are actually not that bad - you can eat them if you're really hungry, whereas the cast of Neighbours tend to get a little ratty when you tie them to a rotisserie in hope of settling the rumbling in your tummy. And of course nobody would ever dream Fosters will slake your thirst. In light of this, would you do a part exchange of say Australia, plus 50 quid? 26-Mar-09
A: Ok, now you have made me feel really bad about my previous comment. Just when you think you have got Aussies worked out one comes along that seems reasonably normal. I have never eaten Snake nor any member of the Neighbours cast, thinking about Neighbours for a moment, are Mrs Mangle and Bouncer still in the programme I would have thought that eating the spiders would have been preferable to the snakes, if you had one for Sunday lunch then all the familiy could have a leg each! Badum-tish! I'm here all week, you've been a great audience etc etc.
Q: If your rover was travelling at the speed of light will the headlights still work?!! Kind regards Kev 26-Mar-09
A: What is this, a Physics lesson? Given the electrical issues with the car I am not sure they would work if the car was stationary.
Q: How old are you? 26-Mar-09
A: 40, but i look lots younger. The Rover has youth giving properties a bit like those egg things in the swimming pool in the film Cocoon. Buy this car for eternal youth. *Note: the Rover eternal youth claim may not be 100% true, or in fact 1% true. Buy my car!
Q: I can't believe it's not butter. What can't you believe? 26-Mar-09
A: I can't believe you haven't bid on this classic Babe magnet. Obviously the "Babe" i am referring to is the one in the film, but if you are attracted to pigs then this is the vehicle to have.
Q: I am very interested in buying this soon-to-be-a-classic babe magnet, however I do have a question. I notice that your car has rather unusual number plates which have no letters or numbers. Are these included? If not do you know where I could get some? They would be ideal for avoiding detection when speeding through speed cameras on the M4. And by the way I am obliged to point out that Jo Boxer is just a poor man's Kid Creole... 26-Mar-09
A: I blanked out the plates so that no-one could clone the vehicle. High performance cars such as the Rover 214si are prone to being cloned by the hoody types that stalk our inner cities. If you are worried by speed cameras then the Rover is just the car for you, no judge in the world is going to believe this thing could actually reach 90mph so you could hammer it along the M4 safe in the knowledge that if you end up in court that the case will be thrown out. Obviously none of the above is true so if you get 3 points and a 60 quid fine don't come chasing me for a refund.
Q: Could you and would you deliver it to Glasgow if i won the auction? 26-Mar-09
A: No and No. Unless I get over a grand for it and you pay for my flight back to civilisation. By the way, i don't accept Scottish money as its worth even less that those Zimbabwean Dollars that someone tried to make me accept 2 days ago.
Q: What time is it??? 26-Mar-09
A: Hammer Time! But unlike MC Hammer you can touch this if you are the highest bidder.
Q: Its a miracle, you have a passenger footwell mat, tastefully trimmed to match mine. Would you care to list it separately please? 25-Mar-09
A: You can't beat a tastefully trimmed mat! In this case the mat matches the the carpet which is also quite rare these days. It is included in the sale, bid now and bag yourself a bargain.
Q: Hello, does the boot in the rover big enough to fit a 6 foot 2 randy frenchman? 25-Mar-09
A: The boot smells like there is one in there already.
Q: You specified in an earlier answer that Showaddywaddy wouldn't fit in the car - do you think I would be able to squeeze in Duffy and Girls Aloud instead? 25-Mar-09
A: I'd certainly be up for finding out one way or another. 5 beautiful women in the Rover, plus the ginger one to give it a push if it wouldnt start.
Q: Hi, Just wondering who you think will go down this season. Will Sunderland survive and the Mags go down? Thanks 25-Mar-09
A: My colleague here suggests that the obvious answer to your question is Gillian Tailforth, however for legal reasons I would like to point out t

What I loved the most - "Do you have happy memories of the car?"... driving into my managers car.. vow, I presume we can safely do the same thing in the current climate..

It almost make you want to buy it, wonder if the front windows is as simple as a wire not being plugged back in after the replacement glass. ;D ;D ;D

Never laughed so much at an auction description in all my life......
Totally brilliant..........
Love this bit.......
"They don’t build Rovers any more do they?
Sadly they don’t build Rovers any more and therefore I think you could consider this a “collectors item”. This is a vehicle for connoisseurs. Fine wines, excellent food, fashionable clothing and the Rover 214si they all seem to fit together perfectly. You would not feel out of place sipping Champagne and eating oysters next to this car whilst picnicking at Ascot."
Brilliant !!!

I wonder if most of his views are from people reading it to have a free laugh. What did you ask him?

Q: Hi is this car any quicker than a BMW 335D "mapped" 25-Mar-09
A: I would suspect the Rover is marginally quicker as it is a red car and everyone knows that red cars are faster than cars of other colours. We could have a drag race to find out for sure but as you drive a BMW you would have to wait for ages for someone to let you out of a side road first. . . Hit me at 30mph there is an 80% chance I will live. Hit me at 40 mph there is an 80% chance I will die. Come up behind be flashing your lights when i am in the outside lane of a motorway doing 85 mph overtaking a long line of traffic and there is obviously no chance i can pull in but you still flash your lights and make V signs like the obsessive compulsive idiot that you really are and there is an 80% chance you are driving a BMW.
I like this one.
