I have removed the S reg Rover 75 from my details as I have transferred it over to an enthusiast in the club who is going to look after it and bring it up to car show standard. 2 years ago the engine was replaced with a low mileage engine at a cost of £1200. The latest repairs will come to £1000 approximately to get the car through the MOT. So I decided to call it a day and save the car from rotting away. It is going to a good home within the club

Cloudy and decidedly cool here, according to the Met Office temp won't even hit double figures today, rain later as well.
Oh that's not good. Just reading rail services all over the country have been thrown into chaos after cracks were found in the suspension systems of Hitachi 800 high speed trains, all have been withdrawn from service pending investigation. They're used by several companies around the UK, LNER, GWR and Hull Trains are advising people not to travel, Trans Pennine are advising people not to travel on certain routes as they have withdrawn their Nova1 units which use the same suspension system. Lot to be said for a loco with a rake of coaches. Last edited by stevestrat; 8th May 2021 at 10:00.. |

Heaving it down and 5 degrees. The FBH came on this morning as I ran my son to work. . It's supposed to be improving - hope they're right. |

The car was kept at a UK private storage facility for over a year and I cannot see myself returning to the UK this year or until Kenya has been removed from the red list. I have pumped thousands of pounds into the car over the 11 years I had it. I am realistic that sort of expenditure can go to someone else. Storage, road tax, insurance is over 1K before it goes anywhere, something you are having to deal with in owning more than one car. I was a bit sad yesterday, as the car was very comfortable and being a press car it is fully loaded with lots of heritage, but at least it’s not being broken for parts, it will be saved. You returned the bowel cancer screening test, hopefully it’s normal and you will be given the all clear. |
