    Post Hello from Germany

    Hi Two-Sixties (and Four-Hundreds ),

    after reading a lot and posting some nosy questions I almost forgot to say "hello" .

    My real name is Thomas, I am an 32 year old electronic engineer and live in the south of Germany. I hope everybody understands my english.

    I fell in love with Rover almost ten years ago, my first car was a 214Si Silverstone, which became a 216Si after HGF, and a 218Si after 2nd HGF. Nevertheless I loved it, but sold it in 2006 to buy a 75 Tourer (2.5 KV6). This one became half a MG meanwhile, and is our daily driver for wife and kids. Then my interest in MG-Rover took me to buy some more of them, fix them and get them back to road. Recenty I sold my ZT190 and want so sell the 75 1.8T, to have enough founds to go for the V8 thing. That is why I came here. And I have to say that the people here are very helpful, even to newbies like me, maybe asking questions not just for the 2nd time

    So, lets have a good time together

    Thomas

    Wenn nicht, dann können wir auch auf Deutsch reden!

    Just kidding, nothing wrong with your English. Welcome - whereabouts in Germany are you?

    @brrm: nicht schlecht, ich komme darauf zurück

    @ Stu C: I live in Erlangen, thats near Nuremberg.

    I've been to UK just once, for half a day, fetching a Rover 75 at Sevenoaks for breaking. It was a Cat C, and when I drove it home it was the first time driving a RHD car. I got used to it very quick and even in Germany driving a RHD car is no problem. So hopefully there will be a Mk2 SE soon

    Hi Thomas, I think we might already know each other! Good luck with your quest.

    I counted them in and I counted them out (with apologies to Brian Hanrahan) - 005, 007, 019, 051, 103, 288, 354, 455, 577, 700 - the story continues.

    I grew up in a village near Heidelberg (but I'm British), so wasn't that far from you! I also return to Germany every year to go to Hockenheim Classics. Took the 260 this year, but they don't normally allow cars that young to take part.

    Good luck with your search, too!

    Yes, Heidelberg is not very far away. How long have you been there? And don't worry, the 260 will soon be a classic, too!

    Hi Thomas and welcome from Sweden!
    Hope you find your car soon.

    There are three for sale on Moblie.de but they are very expensive compared to the Brittish one's.
