Default Back again

Hi some people on here may remember me and some may not.

My names Thomas and I come from the Isle of Wight but have been living in Plymouth,Devon for the past 7 years. I have had many Rover 75s my favourite being the dealer launch models.

Well today out of the blue I became the custodian of a Rover 75 cdt connoisseur se in old english white with aubergine leather interior.

Its going to be a bit of a project for me but its Motd so I will be using it.

I bought it from a member on here and also another forum I frequent.

I also own a Jaguar S Type 2.7v6 twin turbo diesel and being honest I have never gelled with that car so have given it to my father.

The 75 obviously needs work but as soon as I came up to the car it felt like I was home.

The car is off the road for the next couple of weeks while I sort a few things out.

Im looking forward to getting into this and posting on here again.

The car has come with some extras most notibly an intravee 2 box and alpine unit.

Anyway I thought best to pay my way again so have just gone back red.

Ill try to put some pictures up but photobucket is not a place I use any more but I should work out.

Thanks in advance regards Thomas

Nice to see you back in the fold Thomas.

I’m now living across the bridge so we might meet up at some point.

Together Forever

Lonely days are long
Twilight sings a song

Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams, you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams
And then I'll hold you in my dreams
