Rover owner Age
Rover owner Age
Rovers are always portrayed to be an old mans car.. or at least be the car of choice for many old geezers. So i was wondering, how old are people that own a rover? or how old were they when they first owned one? I myself was 17 having a 214 sei as my first car have owned 3 and am 18 now.

How did you go through 3 in under 2 years!
I'm 28 but I first learnt to drive in a landrover then a maestro at 14. I learnt to drive in a brand new rover 416 bubble and then the parents later changed it for a 620 diesel which I now own. I maintained my parents maestros for years before I went off to uni, where I got a maestro for the missus for her 21st B-day pressie.

hahahah 1 was owned by my friend which he wrote off trying to run over the misses, so was then given to me so i could use parts and lots of coupe bits on it... so technically i owend it as it was in my name. then my first actual on the road one (pictured on the ramps), i was racing my friend in his little nonce-mobile 1.3 5dr fiesta ghia that he thought could somehow smoke my rover 
... down the local A34 dual carriageway and the fuzz were waiting to pull out as i smoked past at 90... i thought 'danglies'... carried on going a bit till i got to my street which is off the A34, and thought balls to points on me license... broke very late... whipped into my street....contemplated going round the block (knowing i could lose them)... but last minute decision... span into my drive at 30mph catching the passenger side on my gatepost and tearing it open like a can of sardines 
absolute devastation...also bent the trailing arm. the police smoked past without a clue and ye i had basically lost them... worst part was it was 30 seconds later when they drove past my drive in pursuit... so i would have had time to get into my drive safely. Annnnnyway 2 days later i had already found another 3 dr blue sei on ebay and already had it in my garage swapping all the bits over from my write off one. Then a month or so later a black cab went into me head-on at 50mph and i didnt have a seatbelt on n ye thats how i went through3 rovers.

She loves it so much that we still have it. Infact we now have 4 of them.Gibbo214 wrote:was ur misses pleased with the maestro? i mean... its not exactly a sexy girly car is it haha. and not bad going that ravinder... what was ur insurance like at 19 on a coupe... and now on a turbo at 21
I hope you have now learnt not to drive like a pillock after your accidents. Racing isn't big or clever. And I'm betting now you will wear your seatbelt too.
