Hello folks,
Just dropping in to say hello, been a few years since I was last here. In fact, looks like a new BBS entirely. New BBS, same or similar good people and same good advice, hosted by the same good hosts!
Went through a separation a few years ago and had to get rid of my truck as I had nowhere to put it during all the moving around. At least I was smart (or lucky, probably more the lucky part) enough to get it to a good friend, who when it came time for him to sell it, actually lived up to his promise of giving me first crack at it for what he was in to it for (measly $1500) , ignoring a buyer who wanted to pay a few thousand more. Yes, there are still good, honest people in this world.
Its a lot rougher looking than it was when this pic was taken as it has been outside, but after freeing a stuck clutch, it fired up almost immediately and is running fine other than brakes that badly need bleeding. The truck is basically a bone-stock 72 Series III 88, 2.25 petrol, about the only non-Rover part I have found on it is the Rochester. I originally bought it to replace my first car, a 74 88 I sold when I was about 19 (my Pops bought it new in 74) and kicked myself for years over. Sorry, I haven't figured out how to post an inline pic yet.
I'm sure you all know the Rover elation bit, so I'll stop here. I just wanted to say hello!

. Same good 'ol stuff here. What a good story, RoversNorth news material. PM or send it in to myself or Matt ("RN Graphics" on the forum).
and then paste in the "Copy Image Location" URL from step 4. This will "link" your photo (hosted on your webserver account) to the RoversNorth forum.
