Remember me looking for omegas to play with

well i have in theory just bought a

Rover 620TI

Complete Rocket on R reg needing minor work (pads, 2 tyres) has 16" alloys, cd changer, air con ( works) leather recaros ( good)

Change out of £200 !

Thats why i go Rover  

Bah - i think i have some form of disease - obsessive compulsive rover profit disorder

[Goonlord]

I rember driving one of those that is one seriously fast car
hope everything goes well in your restoration of it

[Markie]

They are seriously fast....

May do it up and keep it selling the MV6

[TheBoy]

Not a bad motor, purely Honda chassis wise (though due to this the front wishbone suspension can affect front end handling - not enough travel)

[Markie]

I`ve now agreed a £200 fee its very local and mot`d for 3 months.

and no i was joking about giving up the MV6 - dont know if is should fix and sell or break the rover - will make much more breaking....but i am sentimental

[STMO123]

Dont break it Markie. And, if you do, dont tell us

[Goonlord]

It would be a sin to break it do it up put it in an a climate controlled garage for 25 years the sell it an make a sh*t load of wonga on it

[Markie]

 

guys just to clarify.

I have amended my post above as it was badly written in haste, it is NOT the MV6 i am going to break and i was only joking about selling the mv6 and keeping the rover.

Jeeze - theres no chance i am moving off a v6 - even for a turbo!!

No. I was talking about the rover. Do what you like with the MV6

[Markie]

STMO123 - really , a rover fan?

It is a bit of a Q car and that kick at 3500rpm from the turbo whoooooooooooooooooosh

tempted to keep it as a plaything.....tempted to brake it, tempted to fix and sell it, tempted  :-/

[STMO123]

I,ve always loved rovers Markie. Wifes got an MGZT at the moment and I think its great. I posted a thread a while ago on cars that I loved (Rover 600 series, Honda Legend etc) and I think you were the only one who liked them too.

[Markie]

Aaaaah of course - i remember that one!

Thing is they may not be best build quality - we all know there problems yadda yadda yadda

But there cheap and easy to fix and the parts sell real well!

[STMO123]

I have never, ever driven a car with a better engine than my 623sli. 30mph in fourth, foot down and awayyyyy! Absolutely no need to change down at all. Bottom end torque was just out of this world. (Honda engine, of course)

[tunnie]

I've never driven a Rover!  

[STMO123]

I've never driven a Rover!  

I can only speak for the 600 series, but a word of advice: if a 620ti pulls up next to you at the lights, pretend you are not interested at all, or else you'll end up with a very red face

 EDIT: 200bhp, 0-60 in 6s
