General General Panda thoughts

You'll be amazed at how many things rover invented or used first and they all have working sunroofs. Square wheels were for people who lived on hills so not such a daft idea of your handbrake fails lol

You're right, here's the Rover Cowley workers in 1991 perfecting the Rover 220 GTi :worship:



Anyway the sunroof may still be working on the 2 that still drive, but they all leaked even when new! :nerner:

How dare you call them workers, that was the managing director and the head designer.

Only 2 left? Mine must almost be worth as much as a classic panda now them. I wish to correct you about the leaking sunroof, it was actually an internal shower. See rover, way ahead of its time
 
Went to Thirsk to have a look at the red 100HP - it too had been sold :(

Nipped over to Walkers and had a look at a mk4 4x4 in cream. 11k with 12k miles. Was like driving through a letterbox though, very un-pandalike comfy and modern interior with all the bells and whistles, airbags and toys. Totally useless as an offroader though far too nice :(

I did get offered a mk3 4x4 for 2k though sight unseen! Lets not forget I was looking for a 100HP.

I may just stick a bigger engine in Cinqy though instead.....

I thought you were downsizing your garage? :eek:

Not really. It's all just a question of where they all are. For example; Y10 is at Vmanc's so does not count. 4x4 will be moved to another workshop soon so I don't include that in the car census either (they have to be taxed, insured and road worthy) parked on the drive in bits aren't included.
So really I only have 1 vehicle. Simples! Clack! ;)

Perhaps I'm going slightly mad, but I am ever more convinced that the 141/141A Panda is the spiritual successor to the Nuova 500, even if the 126 was its chronological replacement.
Does anyone else think the same ?
 
I used to have a cat that slept on my head.... :eek:


Ah; that would explain the last time I saw you I thought that was a hair style(y) Obviously the cat was still asleep:D

I don't know what sleeps in my beard; but I do know that when I wake up in the morning I look like someone has licked my face and stuck me to a window............!
