Membership Renewal
Hi guys, I realise how important it is to keep this great club afloat. Forgot to renew my membership this year. Had a lot to contend with ...... 2x rear bearings, 2x handbrake full assembly(shoes backplates etc) 2x rear springs, 2x rear arms, 2x rear pads + discs............ starter motor, master cylinder, viton rings, front wishbone, service and to top it off 2 tyres and still not quite there yet. My 75 is my main car and gets some serious hammer. Bear with me, i'll re-subscribe asap.

WOW, you've certainly spent some serious money there.--You must really love the beast.
What sort of mileage do you clock up each year during that serious hammering you mention ?? Does this below sound like you ?? The need to travel is really bad, You'll end up twitching or even mad. To give it up would be a dream, But then you wake and start to scream. Another day, a day in hell, You'd risk the train but what a smell. Those unwashed bodies you surround, another thing, that awful sound. People coughing, sneezing germs, you'll never, ever come to terms. Public transport will take you far, but you'd much rather go by car. Your private, quiet, lovely space, The grin starts creeping 'cross your face. You snuggle down, you spin the wheel, you rocket off, your tyres squeal. This affair will never be over because you simply Love your Rover. |

Thanks Colvert. The poem is exactly me. I must admit, if it wasn't for the passion of you guys i would have scrapped the 'old scruff' a few years ago. That isn't going to happen. I've come to the conclusion, £300p/m for a new car or £500 avg a year to keep it on the road is, a no brainer to me. It's never going to be like your club cars but, hopefully i'll just do enough to keep it alive. As for mileage, i don't do a great deal per year, the problem is how i treat it
