I have to admit to feeling a little excited to have registered with you as Zach has had so much positivity to share with me and suggested that I might feel really at home amongst other Rover lovers. So here I am.
My car history is funny and started with an old Wolseley and then onto a Yugo which I took my test in and failed abysmally after driving with a variety of people by my side for a couple of years. That was in my twenties and so I used public transport for many years until I arrived at a time in life where I knew being able to drive would be really useful. That was around 7 years ago now I think and I am fifty-one years old, so much of my life without a car.
It only took nine lessons and then I passed my test and believe you me I couldn't drive enough. After
hearing what I required in a car, my driving instructor recommended a Mondeo and I haver to say that in comparison to other cars I had driven by then and been a passenger in, I was really pleased.
However - then my beautiful Rover came along and the first time I drove it I will tell you, it felt like a tram. So smooth, so heavy to the road, a sassy deep rumbling engine - and the height of comfort inside. Zach had his MGZT and I had my Rover Connoisseur and when they were parked up on the drive together, it was only the rest of my life that begged to also come up to scratch. I SIMPLY LOVE MY ROVER - but now it is broken
Being as it has almost 200 thou on the clock, I have decided to repair it (probably slave cylinder - and also a leaky boot0 and then to sell it. In the meantime I am looking for another the same with all the trimmings including Satnav and tow bar and a 160 remap, would have me bowled over with pleasure.
So far I have found lots of Rovers for sale but not one like mine with the perks I mention - and have now been without a car for w while whilst waiting for the right deal.
My car was on the market for 1300 but the seller let me buy it for 900. I have a thousand to spend now on a new Rover and have found some actually much cheaper but again, I haven't been able to find exactly the right one
Well I had best go now - a very long introduction I hope that's alright. I'll check back and have a better look around tomorrow.
Lovely to meet you all and thank you for reading.
Best
Sazzarooo (Zeeblum's mum).
