Lovema75 fund
 

Right guys and girls- I don't know David but I am up for helping a fellow brethren when the chips are down. I propose we all throw in a few quid each to get him another 75, the guy will save you a hundred times this in garage fees with his advice. I am not sure how to go about it but I will start the fund off with 25 quid.

Stick me in for the same worth every penny.

Set up a paypal fund, some from me too :)

Me too :} everybody deserves a chance

Ok, how do we do it? We can use mine ?

I would be more than happy to put a few quid in as well, but I really think it should be cleared with David first to make sure he is ok with it

Mine is [email protected] seancar will vouch for me as people don't know me that much on here. Let's make this happen guys 500 quid is the target


Ok, but he did say he was looking for a cheap or free car so if we give him that then he has agreed to it?

Its easy dont worry just send everyone who offers your paypal email and they can then gift over what ever they want to give. Then just make a post saying a thank you to who ever and a running total. We dont need to know who has given what just how much we have in the kitty.
Come on you lot its a good cause even a pound will help us here. David is worth his weight in gold to this club, I will donate my time 7f we need to do any work on the car free of charge.

Donation sent :}

Done, come on guys

I like this idea but do we know which model 75 he wants? :shrug:

If he's short of cash he may be better off with a 50mpg+ diesel... etc..

My niece has asked me to sell her V6 connie for her for not much, I'd be happy to let it go cheap if it would help.

Cheers

Dave.

Ill donate if some1 can please explain to me exactly how....:}

An interesting point, as we all know its not just the cost of buying a car, but all of its running costs too.

Do you have a PayPall account if so just send the payment to the email address in my post, if you don't then you can open one as it's free and easy if you google PayPall

I do agree think a cdt would be better and last time he was down he said he quite like the diesel. I was just flicking though the members cars for sale roverben had a cdt up does anyone know it its still up for grabs.

We have 45 quid in the can so far, thanks to the donators. I will update every time we get a payment

Thank you could you let us have some more details please so we can talk to david

Lovema75 fund
 

How do I share the eBay link on tapatalk

Done sir hope it helps:}

There is one on eBay item number 151271849349

The pot stands at 75 quid. Thanks to all who have donated

Donation sent....best of luck....

Hi Sean,

Its a Silver 2.0 V6 Connie. 51 plate.
Tax expired Dec (on SORN), MOT expired last week.
Approx 110,000 miles.
Last advisory listed N/S ball joint dust cover split, play on N/S steering arm, N/S front drop link dust cover split.

I drove it back from Cardiff to Hampshire in November and it didn't miss a beat. It has a tow bar. Body work in pretty good nick. Seat backs need tidying up and the biggest drag is the cruise control isn't working.

There are lots of garage bills for clutch etc. well over a grand in total.

I was going to do it up and sell it for 600 ish but I'd let it go as is for 400.

I hope this helps in deliberation.:D

Cheers

Dave.

I think he is after a tourer as he is setting up his own gardening business.

Guys the pot stands at 175 quid, brilliant and thank you!


Tow bar and trailer👍

Can you drive a Samsung Galaxy S4 case?








;)

Thank goodness!
 

Seancar's original thread has been shut down so I'm glad to have found this, I'm in for £25, what the club needs is more Lovema's and less PM bullying cowards.
Moderators pleases note, if you are not careful membership will drop faster than the number of 75's on the road.

Haha, possibly ! The number is listed as 151271849394

That works.

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151271849394

Hmm, auto box with issues.

Cheap though and easy fixed with good advice

A bit sent from me Dave.

Chad. :}

Perhaps, but I know he's had an auto box before and had problems with it. However a manual version can also prove problematic as we know.

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...01404103227039

If my xenons sell I'm in for donating :}

Thank you I like the sound of this we know its history comes from a member so is going to be honest lol. Its in budget we mite even be able to tax it for him. I have a small trailer he can borrow to get back on his feet. I know david he is not after charity at all just needs a leg up to get himself back on his own 2 feet. The man is a worker

Please lads I dont mind giving my time up lol but changing auto boxes lol not a nice job.

Perhaps some of us can discuss this at the POL in the morning. I'm off to bed now as I have to be up at 0400 in order to meet up at Clacket Lane on the M25. :eek:

Wuss lol ok point taken

Just made a little donation wish it could have been more for a good cause

The pot stands at 180 quid, I guess it will be slow over the weekend due to pol so spread the word while your there. Respect to all you guys who have chipped in so far

Get a collection pot going at pol every little helps

Up to 190 quid guys, nearly half way there in a couple of hours, what a club!!


Top man, well said sir!

A message to Lovema!
 

Lovema, I've been there but never got this level of support, for goodness sake swallow your pride and accept. It's not charity, just decent human beings repaying another decent human being with thanks.

Here's a compromise, if you won't accept this as an offer of a gift, treat it as a long term interest free loan, if it makes you feel better to promise to repay as and when you can afford, none of want it but will accept your view.

There's plenty of decent Tourers on Autotrader now at budget prices, they might look expensive to you now but when you are back on your feet they'll seem cheap.

If you turn this offer of support down the bullies have won, for goodness sake don't let them win.

Pot stands at 215 quid great stuff guys

Brilliant Idea!!!
 

Dave,

As above. I'm in. Just a thought. Not a brilliant idea to login to Paypal after two large (extremley) Gin&Tonics. Strewth not sure about the spelling either!!!!

Seancar :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown::poke::poke:, you have the job of making sure David accepts this from the members. GOOD LUCK!!!

Not many of us have!!! It's about paying it forward, when something nice is done to you then pay it forward to another, no charity involved as for me I rape and pillage this forum for information everyday and when I get an answer it's from someone like David,that is paying it forward!


Log in mate and drunk spend, I do it all the time and it's very therapeutic, short term that is!

Tourer here if it can be got going but as with cars you just never know until you get your hands on them :shrug:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-75-T...03758558&rt=nc

Ha double post, sorry

Lesser duplicate post removed :p:;):D:D

Cheers mate

My post was about my belief whatever you put into life you get tenfold back, put in something good and it's repaid tenfold, put in something bad and the you get an equal level of repayment.
Lovma has put in a lot of good, so deserves a tenfold repayment, so just I just offered him an option if he can't see he deserves our repayment.

The pot is 225 quid 0150 am I am off to bed, crack on guys 50% there, come on let's do this, so proud to be in this club!

Small donation from me too. :bowdown::D

Been there myself - managed the grand total of 3 redundancies, so know how it is. Although I havent been here long, learned so much from guys like David, so have chipped in also.

Nice to know that there are still good people in the world (lots of them on here).

Proud to be a member:grouphug:

Donation sent :}

Perhaps this thread will send an appropriate message...................

Dave :}

I'M IN. were do I send the Donation.was deciding wether to go to the POL but will donate my fuel money instead.I have few tears in my eyes good luck I have a feeling he might end up with the best car.Ron

Have made a donation Via seancar e.mail.Have I made a mistake.seem to have lost the thred

payment sent,i think you had better talk to David before taking the risk of buying something he don't want, his last words on this was he needed a estate so that he could start his own business , thank you for giving me the chance to help.-----------GARY.

Donation sent.

Guys, please let me know which type of car and a message from the club to Dave and I will print up a special set of speedo dials custom made for him as a gift with the club logo etc. they can be fitted before the car is handed over.;)

This is a great thing WE are doing, the critics should be ashamed and humbled by the friendly nature I generally find here. :bowdown:

Payment sent. I do hope we can get something sorted. ****** brill stuff!

Ken

Donation sent.... hope he doesn't feel too proud to accept is my only concern.A guy who will give stuff away and posted free to boot , deserves this act of generosity from members.Well done to all involved ...:bowdown::bowdown:

He is more than welcome to borrow my car as a stop gap in the mean time.

Its for sale on here at the moment but has had no takers so is just sitting on my drive.

Its not a tourer or an auto but it might be able to get him going until he can find the right one?

A few quid sent.;)

Thank you all for this and the pms I have had over kind offers I have had of cars.
I am waiting to hear back from david, I have been thinking now we all know david is a proud man, so I was thinking when david is back on his feet, and he has got his dream car lol. That this one is used by other members who have fallen on hard times or they are left car less though break down. So if a member that only has one car and it has had to come off the road for any reason the can use this. What do you all think??

Last time I spoke to him he was adamant it needs to be a tourer. Donation to be made today. Great club but concerned about bullying pm's. What's that about and what was the context ?

.

Donation sent.

.

Count me in too. :}
What's the total now?

Great idea mate

I have £10.00 sent to my paypal account which I will send over today. Cant believe the generosity of members. Thank you all. Now you lot up the pol shake that tin in front of Christopher please lol.

I am not going to be about much today sorry to say, tracey wants her new flooring down lol so thats me sorted today. Keep it coming in please every pounds helps.

Donation sent. with pleasure

The pot stands at 428 quid, brilliant guys, well done: bowdown:

Donation sent. Glad to be part of it.

I have a trailer he can have if we only get a saloon. I was going to sell it but David can have it.

Trimani

we are up to 474 quid

Great response folks, how is it going so far?

Ken

at 474 quid still,

A tad more now ;)

I have a MkII Nav player I can donate if need be lol!!

I believe that what goes around, comes around, so helping someone out when they are down can only be a good thing for everyone. :)

I have ran out of thanks sorry

we are at 504 quid, could get him a pair of 75's at this rate

Fabulous! It would be great to get to a grand but I know that folk can only go so far with spare cash. Still an amazing result though for such a short amount of time.Very positive to see so many solid folk on here. Kinda making my day if I am honest :}

Ken

Sheds a tear...... then remembers I am hungry..:drool4:

Quick update
I have spoken to david and its a all systems go.
He can not thank you all so much he cant believe it. In fact shocked close to tears.
He will be at the pol tomorrow and to be honest he is worried as he does not know what to say to people. He us gob smacked,
Now its a cdt tourervwe are after for him, reason are as follows
Cdt cheaper to run
Tourer for work which again I understand, david wants ti get back on his feet. So with a saloon he cant do this, trailer is outthe question again not davids doing he has to park on the road, so some one would nlck the trailer.
Thank you all agaiin

Well on that note i've just made a donation to such a good cause, well done guys & keep up the good work :bowdown::bowdown:

Donation
 

Just sent some money to a worthy cause.

Julien.

:smilie_re::smilie_re:

564 quid guys! how are we going sort the car out? I am just sending the pot to whoever finds a car or is it going straight to David?

I think it would be nice if he played a part in choosing the car, what you guys think? :shrug:

Ok.............here is my contribution.................I have a 2002 1.8t just passed the MOT last week.
I was going to sell it at £800.
I will be quite happy to let it go for half that if he wants it.
It has OOODLES of history.....headgasket done, belts done clutch done and turbo replace by me.......It just needs the exhaust changing which i have in the post and ...HOPEFULLY....the down pipe and flexi from Sean.

This is the car in question.....

Yep defo, I will just send him the money

Donation made, wish it could have been more. Let's hope we raise enough to get him a decent car, a years insurance and tax. We all need a leg up sometimes and hats off to all of you.

It has to be a tourer for his business, nice car though and great offer!

What a fantastic offer

Oh well, it was only a thought.:duh:

To anyone else.....£600...........or if it goes on the bay .... £800

I remember corin aka messenger had a diesel tourer he got from Pete tourer and remember he has it up for sale

I know David is interested in my tourer, I am sure it would do him well, but he couldnt afford it.

I have already offered it to him at a hugely reduced price, perhaps with this fund he can get enough together.

Tax until end of October and mot until December, absolutely nothing wrong with it. An ideal keeper that needs no work.

yes it was a though but a nice one Paul,

Well done everyone, count me in, payment sent. Lovema75... you are too well liked around these parts to not be part of the furniture I'm afraid, so you are here to stay my friend.

How much are you offering it to David for Rich?

£850 is what I had offered it to him for.

The wife would cut my fingers off if she knew :o

We are up to 579 in the pot so far

That's a very kind offer but he really wants a diesel by the sounds of it :shrug:

Diesels are notorious for expensive repair bills, plus with petrol at 10 pence per litre cheaper, the difference in fuel consumption is negligible.

Remember my car needs nothing with all major jobs done recently.

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...rs?logcode=flp

This looks half tidy for the money guys :shrug:

Sorry Rich but I have seen far more petrol owners with issues than Diesels on the forums... from what I read I would not have a petrol personally.

Like many others I know exactly what being put down and out feels like...

The generosity and just plain love for a fellow human being shown here moves me to tears. It easily balances out anything said by a trillion haters.

I'm brassy skint after saving to fix my fans but I'll gladly send a few quid.

Good luck Dave! :D

This is probably true, maybe as there are more petrol 75's? I do not know for sure what the actual numbers are, Im sure someone will, but "for me", cost wise, a petrol is the cheapest to run on a budget with limited mileage usage.

I do know that lovema75 does want a diesel though...as I understand it will be used for business purposes.

Lets not start another these are better than those threads.

I would like a diesel for the higher mileages I see stated:drool4:, but then I do not live in my car and would never do them sort of mileages, my 75 1.8 only turned 74,000 yesterday and for the size of car ( tourer ) she ticks all my boxes and leaves me £££'s to spend elsewhere :D

I am afraid I would have to disagree, and I have owned both types.

But that's not the point of this thread.

More on topic, as David is not flush with a contingency for repairs, cars that 'look good' are not a good idea. He needs a car that is good.

An uncommon sight - a Yorkshireman putting his hand in his pocket :D
Funds on way via Paypal - can't think of a better cause :}

Let's find him a Diesel "That is good" aswell as looking good hey, This is what this thread is about after all, not another excuse for an arguement, to show what a supportive club this is for a member who we all feel deserves a better hand of cards than he has been dealt of late.
When the troops arrive back from pol i'm sure the total will rise further towards a great effort ;)

A little something from Portugal...

(Hope that this will help...)

619 quid in the pot:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

A contribution from North of the Border. A great cause, we have all been down on our luck at sometime and realising that people do care can make all the difference.
John.

Donation made.

694 in the pot :D:D:D

Do we know if anyones doing a collection at Pol

he's gonna end up with a V8 at this rate. :D

Haha i was thinking the same earlier :D

He'll have to take me for a spin if he does though :drool4::drool4:

We would have to donate petrol money then :D

Think it might be cheaper to get him a V8 lawnmower to go in the boot :eek:

Just sent a small donation via pp to sean , hope he gets the car he wants. Good Luck.

Donation sent.

703.93 odd number due to dollars to pounds conversion, can some add 7p to the next donation to even it up as its doing my head in :duh::duh:

It would be good (if possible) to get him started with some gardening equipment as well. Petrol mower/strimmer/chainsaw etc etc.

payment sent lol hopefully to help stop doing your head in.

Pete

bet you end up with 704.07...:laughing2:

I thought that lol

Pete

thank the lord, 710 nice round number.

I'm gonna donate a penny, I'm gonna donate a penny...:D:D:D

this looks a good one and we nearly have the money, just 40 quid off? is anyone in touch with David to get his view?

I am sure they will take an offer...

don't you dare my fooking head will explode

Does anyone know who I would have to contact to get permission to use the club badge on a set of speedo dials for dave?

defo take an offer, has anyone got a number for Seancar or David?

And a small donation from me,I dont know David but I've been where he is and glad to help in some small way

a big thanks to everyone who has donated so far, the pot stands at 728 quid:bowdown::bowdown:

Flippin heck!! Well done chaps. :D:D I've been out most of the day and made a donation this morning and the total has shot up!

Keep on giving, its a worthy cause :D

a couple of people made huge donations that doubled the pot :bowdown: that's not to take away from any other donation but merely to say I have been blown away twice in the last 24 hours.

where in the country does David live btw, just if we find a car in the north west and he lives down south then we need to consider that:shrug:

18 inch serpents it is then...:}

He lives in London Dave. Unless he's moved recently and I don't think he has.

Chad. :}

Cheers mate, that Conny that mischief found is in Manchester, shame that is!

so use some of the donated money to drive the car down and get a train back... i'm sure that is within reason?

We need to speak to David before we do anything.

Just got back from POL, no mention of this subject that I heard when there so donation made now !

Donation sent.
