I was gonna say 'a Rover !!! wtf'

Then I read the specs....wow what a car !!

Would love to see the looks on peoples faces when you accelerate past them !!!!

Very nice looking motor mate, needs some lowered suspension though imo.

Very nice.

Martin, Hi.

I'm going to speak my mind, I apologise if it offends.

One of the ways in which users/members are defined on this forum is by their cars. Broadly speaking these should be of a genuinely desirable nature and either true high performance out of the box, or modified to suit.

The other way that users/members are defined is their passion for using their car in anger at race tracks, drag days and/or drift events for example. With these two principle criteria in mind, can you indicate how you use your car and any imminent modifications?

We have to uphold very high standards here and whilst your car is a very fine example of the marque, I have to satisfy myself that you are on the same wavelength as the rest of the forum. We need to stand our ground on this ethos as a website/club or the boundaries will blur and we will become like so many other forums out there.

Please PM me to discuss this further.

Im not sure what you are trying to say are you saying my car is not good enough for this site :? The car is still being modified engine wise all the time and will hopefully be a contender in 10 of the best next year for my rover club. The car has over 200bhp at the flywheel and will be well over 300 by the time some mild engine work has been done. The car will be used at santa pod on different events but i personally can not see any point in me useing it as a track car at the moment as the brakes and suspention are standard spec. Rovers in my opinion are under estimated and my car being one of the bigger ones in the rover range is a perfect sleeper for the roads. If there is anything else you are un happy about let me know

Cheers
Martin
