I get between 28-32 from mine, commuting 80 miles per day (round trip) over a mixture of town, motorway and B roads.

HTH.

If people just carried on spending as normal then nothing would change. Unfortunately, people are unable to spend as normal because nobody will give them any credit and many people have had to take wage cuts or redundancy. Nice car by the way. If I wasn't looking to buy a bike I would consider it m...

Is this still for sale?

Have to say im glad in a way they are making the test harder so it discourages some of these scooter riders who ride round with T shirts on and ride like tw*ts. You don't necessarily have to pass a motorcycle test to ride a low capacity scooter. I passed my bike test at the beginning of the month, ...

I was over there on business a couple of months ago. I found the roads similar to those in Spain. I think the only 'unconventional' road law that they have is you must drive with at least dipped headlights on at ALL times. Fortunately the hire car I had automatically switched them on with the igniti...

... a colleague at work just got an SV650 and I took him to go pick it up..he's been riding a matter of months and I had to escort him back to work....I've not driven so slow since I passed my test :D Ok so he's never gonna try n race but some people who do think theyre quick without trying and don...

I have a coupe bootlid complete with spoiler in BRG. The spoiler is in reasonable condition, with the usual paint bubbling on the corners. The bootlid unfortunately has some bad laquer bubbling/ peel across the top of it though. To be honest I was going to throw it out, but if you wanted it you are ...

Interesting. A lot of FC policies don't actually cover you on other peoples cars, its an assumption people often make and some have felt the consequences (one member on here iirc), ie points on the license if not a ban for driving without insurance. Interesting. Every fully comprehensive policy tha...

The coupe turbo, because it's lighter.

Glennm255, whats unsafe about Rovers? Granted they wouldn't get four stars in the safety tests, but it's not like it's a French hot hatch (I believe they are mostly made from tin foil, sticky back plastic and bit's of chewing gum). I wasn't necessarily suggesting that Rovers are inherently unsafe, ...

If I were going to buy a car to ferry my children around in, personally I'd want something newer/ safer.

glennm255

Having driven both, I must say that the coupes feel much faster. The extra 30 ish bhp/ton makes a big difference I think. Handling wise, despite being a big car, the Ti isn't too bad in my opinion. In fact I would say that my Ti feels far stiffer and stable than my old VVC coupe did, although I do h...

My answer to this question would vary on a weekly basis.

This week I have been looking at MK2 MG ZS 180's and Volvo V70 T5 R's

Rubbernecking really annoys me, but is typical of the thoughtless, selfish attitude that many drivers seem to have adopted these days.

Personally I do not want to be reminded how vulnerable we are every time we venture out onto the roads.

Agree with Drew, had fun whilst modifying mine but don't miss it (especially the running costs/modifying costs).

I've seen 40mpg from mine before now

In November last year I bought a 51 plate Astra DTi (3 door, SXi spec, with factory fitted SRi spoiler and wheels). Lovely looking car. The idea was that this was to replace my coupe, as I decided that it was about time I purchased something a bit more practical. The Astra was certainly this, as wel...

Parts exactly as described and arrived very well packaged and incredibly quickly.

This is the inherent problem with journalism, in particular that of an automotive nature - often articles are based on the opinions of an individual. The writer does not like the Rover 800. So what? Actually, if you read the article he doesn't actually claim that it was a bad car, just misplaced in ...

glennm255

Sounds like it's probably just dodgy data to me. I've had insurance quotes where my reg has brought up details for a 218is (I drive a Coupe VVC) and have heard of a number of similar stories from other VVC owners.

HTH,

Glenn.

The 120 is the 1.8k series.

glennm255

To be honest I wouldn't worry too much about peoples perception of you or the car you drive. I certainly don't when I'm driving around in my Rover :wink: Take one for a test drive and, if you like it, buy one. For the record I've driven both an F and a TF and liked them both very much. As said above...

Just don't expect your payout to come any time soon - in my, admittedly limited, experience these things are rarely resolved within 12 months.

the term "TO PRODUCE ENERGY" is actually a total myth in itself, all we can do is convert enrgy from one form to another i.e potential into kinetic, and to do tyhis with no waaste at all is virtually impossible! Not strictly true. If it was how does fission work :p (It produces a lot of e...

Unlucky mate. Again I'm local so will keep an eye out for it.

glennm255

I also think that the responsiveness in std form could be better. You can move the steering wheel a bit without it doing anything, and quick sharp movements aren't exactly it's strength. Do a bit of toe in and turn in will be much crisper especially with stiffer tyres, of course this compromises ty...

I paid Â£1800 for my VVC about 6 weeks ago. It's got full leather, a/c and FSH (although not all by Rover dealers). Oh and it had 71k on the clock. Needs a couple of minor scratches on the rear bumper sorting out, but other than that it's in pretty good condition. It does need an MOT and tax next mo...
