Weird little forum this

Rover P6 and P5, true icons of yesteryear, relegated to 'Yesterday's Heroes' and a ubiquitous fwd mini beemer gets it's own space.

Call me ignorant and I would hate to offend, but

WHY???

Cant we have a Skoda Fabia or Yaris or, of course!! Aixam, site?!

"go and give an old man a bed bath"

Dunno if that was meant as a humorous retort, or otherwise, but either way, I was giving "old men" and people of all ages in need, such care from when I was just 16 years old and have no qualms about doing it in the future.

Indeed, such responses, and little engerland phrases such as "Krauts", just serve to further illustrate my point

baskey - sorry, man, I didnt mean to offend anyone and I never wanted a scrap.

I had asked for a P6 forum some time ago and was directed by Ted I think to the 'Yesterday's heroes' forum. It's a fact that the rover p6 owner's club message boards themselves are rarely visted and it's also a different culture, where people who really do want to fix and improve them just ring each other up or go to each other's barn and hang out.

I never wanted to have a pop at Minis either. They are quintessential good driving fun and reliable motors, and if I could I'd stick a 3500 Skylark engine in one myself

Keep the Faith people

Now, if Top Gear could stop telling stupid jokes and have a serious bit each week for issues like Why do lots of people ignore red lights, or, why are those headlights that blind you on dip still legal, then maybe I'd watch that a bit more often. Those are the kind of scraps I like
