Some amazing Rover stuff on this thread, good thing I only collect 75-specific stuff or I'd be bankrupt!

Check out a recent thread by Nathan ('Rover bag' I think was the title), he got a load or similar stuff, maybe from B&G too.

D&K have been very helpful to me in the past, very good prices for the rare bits I got from them

Nathan is my nemesis.
He has the large hard plastic suitcase which is made for the 75 boot rack that I badly want.
He does however not have a boot rack but I have one brand new sitting here.

Each of these is as useful as liquid wood without the other.

I may see if he wants to go first to three on a coin toss at POL this year. Winner takes the other part. :-)

it all hinges on the boot racks with luggage i always think. as paul has said, if you have a boot rack, you want the plastic case, and the interior leather ones . All like little russian dolls....

I"ve seen your threads. I know you have a great collection of stuff, as does Nathan. I just honestly saw a few things I reasoned i practically wanted. Like you say, it can all get very very expensive easily

I was the main reason we were there, I fancied some nice rover cups for my picnic hamper. They are gorgeous, not to expensive, and fit nicely in the cup holder:



Either cup holder:



Paul agreed and bought some too.

So in order to carry this heavy stuff I also needed a bag. Tesco asks 5p, so we won't have that, I want some value for my money. Only the raspberry rover holdall will do:



Also needed was a travel kit bag to clean up after all this excitement:



Quickly followed by a lovely document case holder - comes in a lovely bag of its own:



and looks like this:



Why did i want it? Well I thought it would be a nice place to hold all my brochures:



Since I'm far too keen to get my cards out to buy stuff, i decided far better i find somewhere to put them out of harms way in future too:



What a great day. So after all that I felt I deserved the perfect coffee. Thanks everyone, enjoy....

Tony, you becoming an old tart with this gear, I expected you to go for the cups and saucers set to go with the hamper. Oh did I mention you have the hamper as well? Sorry Dude !

JohnH - CardinalH57 - ROG , You know the one.

hehehe i rejected the cups and saucers on the grounds that the saucers don't fit in the hamper as well as the plates I have, and I prefer coffee to tea

However, the hamper does look rather nice now with a full set of Rover mugs. if only they did rover plates too.....
