Not a very good one though eh... must try harder.
I fear your mind is definitely set. You qualify superbly ...
That's the problem with some of the later Rover jokes, they're not the best quality and so few people seem to like or enjoy them that they have become quite rare.I fear your mind is definitely set. You qualify superbly ...
The problem tends to be that they are thrown together quite quickly with such poor attention to detail, and so many are just face-lifts of previous Rover jokes.
Sadly, the joke I presented seems to have been lacking any design flair and was poorly constructed during it's assembly process!
Basically I appear to completely misread the whole Rover joke market, thinking I could still churn out the same old poor quality routine without anyone noticing that the joke was in reality a 15 year old design simply face-lifted.
Hopefully I might be able to find some Chinese comedians to whom I can offload the whole Rover-joke operation on, but deep down, I can't help feeling that their comedy-Rover efforts might not be any fun either!
It does seem strange to Me though that Rover fans don't appear to have a more relaxed sense of humour! - all things considered!
My nearest scrapyard still lets you walk around and pull bits off yourself and most of the cars are stacked 2 and 3 high.

More evidence of the brainwashed mindset.
Soooo... only Rovers self destruct.
Who knew?
Suggest you and all the others of that mindset visit your local car recyclers and look closely to note the corrosion levels on some of those far 'superior' cars. You may learn something to change the set of your mind.
I believe General Custer's thinking was along the same lines when he was the last man standing at the Battle of the Little Bighorn:Soooo... only Rovers self destruct.

"I can still win this!"
I found the pictures of that side valve V8 block interesting. Certainly left to die/rotting in line with the thread title. Surprised metal thieves have not snapped it up for scrap value already.
The shiny new or refurbished one is an object of automotive beauty to my old minces. Nice to see. Thanks both.
