    Hi all and thanks for your comments, I'll be keeping a watch on here.

    You can be sure when I'm in a position to finally get a V8 I'll be on asking for your help and answer's to questions that I'm bound to ask.

    Cheers all, regards

    I'm sorry you can't do a "I'll buy in a couple of months" thing with these cars, I decided in Feb '08 that I was going to get one for my next replacement due Aug/Sep '08.

    Started looking and had #317 with 2 weeks to spare ...... of Feb'08!!!

    Yes agree with you and wish I was in the position to do it right know as I've seen a couple which won't be there soon! But my problem at the moment is finance, awaiting the sale of a house, and you know what the climate is a the moment in housing.

    Default Finally got a V8!

    Just looking back at when I first posted that I'd be looking for/getting a Rover 75 V8 - November 2009!

    Well I've bought "Poseidon Blue's" V8, collected it today and had a great time bringing home. Seem to keep coming up with reasons why I have to go out to it - I wonder why.

    I bet you did - got mine back from 2 weeks in the workshop (don't ask) and had a silly grin on my face all the way home
