Heard that Rover is ceasing production of its V8 today. Perhaps a minute's silence is in order ...

Surely it'd be more appropriate for us all to go outside and rev the hell out of our engines for a minute?

Should be a write up in EVO this month (due out this week) that features 6 different vehicle (incl. my Griff) that are powered by Rover V8 - also I've done a Morgan's Mutterings on the photo shoot - I think due in this month's Sprint - but ain't seen either yet.....

Dave,
Did the lead come through Simon Lacey? He asked me but he wanted an early 4.3 so I gave him your e-mail address.

Its the best EVO ever!
The right up on the Griff is brilliant!

You Griff looks lovely too.
