nice one martin!

on behalf of all at RCOC we appreciate any work you have to put in to get it up and running again!!

Another F D H 'mine is bigger than yours' thread absolutely, and i'm sorry it's come to that. this was, at one point, the most constructive F D H debate i've seen on here and I thought we were getting somewhere for a minute - hence why i'm still here. it just serves to highlight what me and mach1ro...

g1jkb

doesn't make it inherently better

no, of course it doesn't, but it makes it more desirable to many people

yes, it's a very good point. but having said that, i've seen dozens of F D Hs and have yet to see a bad one.

g1jkb

thanks mate!

g1jkb

cableguy, you are aware they weren't regitered until 1998, aren't you?

all this logger is just old ground being gone over and over again

you were the one that contested it, by the way.

is it possible to discuss F D H cars without someone ruining the thread with opinions we've heard before?

g1jkb

Just wondering where can this list be viewed?

http://www.rover-coupe.com/modules.php? ... 0390#50390

so what did you pay the extra for ?

perhaps it's the fact that the car is effectively three years newer?

g1jkb

some not understanding

that's exactly what i thought, and it really winds me up.

i'm good at biting my tongue normally, but for some reason i didn't this time.

anyway, shall we drop it now before i get myself into more trouble?

g1jkb

I know i'm not welcome, but i do lurk here quite a bit, and apart from my sig, i've never actively advertised the forum. i don't mean to rattle cages, and the reason i've not spoke up about the F D H debates much is i still don't understand what the problem is. I've never met anyone who thought thei...

g1jkb

RichMann, as you've probably gathered F D Hs are not welcome here. have you popped on to the coupe club?

g1jkb

seen the latest debate? http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19591&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=330 be prepared for a spot of 'light reading' and watch out for posts from poor old 'tomcat' (and a few of his mates) as they get flamed for trying to convince the barry boys th...

g1jkb

so the story goes...

g1jkb

no, it does, and that's a good point.

on the flipside though, can you be sure that one's not a jap import?

g1jkb

another update. if you can think of any we've missed, let me know!!

g1jkb

thought i'd give you guys an update. the list's looking really good now! N104 FDH - nightfire, currently residing in exeter N110 FDH - 220turboy (current), charcoal metallic,cream leather N112 FDH - Southend - Tahiti Blue N114 FDH - NuttyGirlRacer Met Grey (Burford, Ox) N115 FDH - charcoal - off rov...

g1jkb

I think he was referring to the old 3.5 litre Coupe, not the tomcat or the 800 come to think of it.

yes, that's possible.

but remember - clarkson did love the 200 coupe when he first reviewed it. and i never saw him write a bad review about it since.

g1jkb

trouble is, they'll only tell me it's a 1995 rover coupe, and we already know that.

g1jkb

i'd already done the RCOC one when you posted that, but fair point, i haven't updated the rovertech one. so here it is: N110 FDH - 220turboy (current), charcoal metallic,cream leather N112 FDH - Southend - Tahiti Blue N114 FDH - NuttyGirlRacer Met Grey (Burford, Ox) N125 FDH - off rovertech (car now...

g1jkb

they weren't re-registered til '98, so they're the next best thing to a 1998 220 turbo.

g1jkb

thanks again! i'll put them on the register.

s0ck, don't know if you noticed, but yours is already down as 'for sale on auto-trader'

g1jkb

we did that with FDH coupes on the coupe owners club forum. we made an 'FDH register'

we found loads, it was really interesting.

g1jkb

i've seen a similar discussion about coupes. and in my opinion, it depends how you define 'classic' quoted from cambridge dictionaries online: Definition classic car noun [C] a car which is still popular although it is no longer produced: The Triumph Spitfire is a classic car. http://dictionary.camb...

g1jkb

thanks again guys, i'll put that down.

g1jkb

any details you can get, we'd be very grateful for...

g1jkb

brilliant, i'll pop those down!

g1jkb

none at all then....

g1jkb

over on the coupe forum, we've been compiling a list of all known and spotted FDH coupes, and it's brought out some interesting results. (certainly more than i thought we'd identify) we were wondering if anyone from rovertech can add to it at all? even if it's now scrapped, sold on, or not been seen...

g1jkb

just bought a VVC instrument binnacle off martin, and i'm chuffed to bits with it.

thoroughly reccomended

g1jkb

it's a brilliant car, a bit docile and boring (but VERY economical if kept below 3,500 rpm, but after that, all hell breaks loose. once the VVC kicks in, (which happens gradually) it's very responsive, very quick, and as tommo said, it sounds brilliant. the website i find very interesting is: http:/...

g1jkb

yep. that's him alright (again)

g1jkb

IMHO there is only one noise any better and thats Roger Gorings Firestorm jet funny car,

i stood VERY close to that at a 'vanblast' at truckfest one year.
you can't put into words how incredible that thing is when it's going full whack. shakes you to bits.

g1jkb

exactly the same here. i'm gonna appeal to his better nature tomorrow, and may well see you monday.
i do hope so!

g1jkb

thanks iain.

sorry, don't know how i missed that thread!!

g1jkb

i know i'm gonna be opening myself up to a bit of a ribbing for not knowing this, but what's the difference between a 200 GTI, and a 200 GSI?
it's driving me nuts

g1jkb

i used to live in dedham, i've loads of contacts there. i shall word them up for you!

very sorry to hear about this.
