    Look what I am driving for the next few days...

    Its a Rover 75 Tourer

    Not the usual courtesy car but my MG is broken yet again and I gave the dealer a hard time as the staff there are so useless.

    So it's in for repair and I am driving round in this.....






    It's not quick, but has full leather interior, electric adjust seats, heated seats, one touch sunroof, auto, dual climate control, etc. And the most useful bit is the reverse parking sensor

    The funny part is that it really does make you want to drive slow like the typical old gits that buy these things. All I need now is my pipe and slippers....

    It's a ZR 160 - it has started leaving substantial puddles of oil everywhere I park it recently

    And the AirCon doesn't work

    At least it is gonna feel well quick after this monster Rover. (Which still seems to have a newish leather smell to it)

    I might try my baseball cap and MaxPower CD to try to revive it's image a bit later....... if only it had a cd player

    Radio 2 is(was) the first pre-set radio station!!!! How sad is that?

    Make sure that you abuse the courtesy car to the max.

    Drive past the post office on a Tuesday, and watch the pensioners jelous faces.
    It's the coolest place in town in that car!

    I know why people drive these cars so slowly now - this thing goes through petrol faster than the RS

    I have started driving it like an old twat now cos I can't afford to keep throwing petrol in.
