Never owned anything fancy due to insurance rape-age.

Heres a pic of my first and current car, although it is broken at the min. Head gasked failed and engine effectively melted, so doing an engine swap...(have been for past 3 months, I work slow!)

Its a Rover 216 Si

Think every K series will suffer head gasket failure at some point! Even the newer MGs suffered from it!

They're good little runners...when working that is! I got it purely as insurance was cheap. Cheaper for me to insure the 1.6 rover than it was for a 1.0 litre micra / fiesta etc!

True and true - just thought it was amusing!

There is a permanent "fix" available now with a composite gasket

I had one of these once upon a time

http://www.ukcar.com/road_tests/Ford/scorpio/

2.9 litre V6 24 valve Cosworth engine

I daren't post a picture of it as it was truely the most ugly car ever built, although the Fiat Multipla comes a close second. The safest way to experience it was to sit inside :grin:

After a wedding one Saturday night, I got from the Motorway service station near Newcastle to my house in Sutton (S London) in exactly 4 hours - the petrol receipt said 8:00 pm and the midnight news had just come on the radio as I turned off the ignition. I had the cruise control working at 125 . . . :smt026

No speed cameras in those days :smt047

I work at a Land Rover dealer, there is no such thing as a permanent fix for 1.8 K Freelanders lol!

They always seem to go shortly after a coolant change for some reason.
