A magnificent piece of British engineering, the Rover 25. 1.6l petrol, manual, not a bad drive tbh and the head gasket on that was replaced a few years ago so I think it's gonna be good for the moment.
Put my golf in a garage I've been given permission to use now, and had it put on a low loader this week and taken over there, unfortunately when I got there, someone was parked in front of it...

More loose stones in front of the garage meant attaching the tow rope to the back, standing in the garage and heaving it in. Managed to get it over the threshold and after an hour, he was in

Hand brake off, makeshift chocs under the front wheels, windows cracked to let the moisture out (I spilt beer in there a while ago and it STINKS) disk lock on the steering wheel, ready for the work to begin.
