Silver Tamora spotted near M1 Spondon

Anyone on here. Sounded very nice. I was looking at it in my hire car, a beasty 1.4 Rover 200. What a pile of shit that was.

Bet your hire car was nicer than the Rover TDi I borrowed last week while the Volvo was in for a new hose... It was in good condition for its age I suppose, but by the time I handed it back 6 hours later I was a basket case.

Wish it had been my Tamora, though.

Will be at VW on the 20th, if you are there you can have a go in my Tamora, I'm sure I can trust you not to crash it.... judging by your car collection

I certainly will, and I'd be more than happy to take you up on your offer, Flasher!! Thanks!!

No probs. Have hardly driven it for about three weeks now so I'm looking forward to giving it a good blat down to VW.....

See you there!!!

SGirl, Id have preffered your TDI, this thing couldnt burn up a snail, it was pathetic. It was tacky plactic inside and lots of rattles and squeeks. Good advert never to buy a Rover.

Are you joking?? This one had the heaviest throttle I'd ever encountered - the only way to get any performance at all out of the thing was to wedge your right foot down, lock your knee in position and stay in third... A truly horrid car.

0-60? Yes. Probably. Eventually.

FWIW, though, my 1.6 cabrio is actually quite a good car - thank goodness for Honda engines!

In fact I was so keen to improve it in any way possible I even opened the bonnet and took all the slack of the throttle cable. I must be mad
