[BITList] roving

[CT's]

yo robot

agree rover 2000 very nice car. but I thought the rover eve had a bigger engine than only 2500cc - after all, the 2000's engine was a straight 4 of 1998 cc! so not a significant difference with the v8. 

I well remember the p4, a friend's family had one. straight 6 engine with about 120 hp. it's amazing to me how we got by with heavy cars with such relatively little power. 

a least twice that is normal now - in the family run-about.

ok, I get the el cid/hacker nom-de-twat.  crazy fool pulling the old fire-drill-without-warning trick.............................................ridiculous

(hacker - I hope you're reading this)

why did all the relief valves go off?

Colin, the Rover is a P4 after the 3 headlight model. The 2000 was a neat model and the one with a V/8 (2500) I think went like the clappers.

 

 

I think Tommy Harle nicknamed Hacker el cid after seeing the movie where Charlton Heston or some one was cracking the big whip on 

the chariots.

 

JH used to have fire drills without warning, and somewhere between HK and Japan pulled one on. Everyone out of the bunk etc hoses out 

And to top it off he sent the crew up top to pull the pins and drop the skylights..no warning to the watchkeepers and away went the relief v/v's

Never heard anything like it, and he refused to buy the beers. He was a "funny" man. No sophisticated wind up/down skylights on Chyebassa.

 

Robbo.
