    yep i remember the p6 v8 my mate had one but too juicy for me--i,m looking for the rover sli 620 honda engine---there,s still quite a few around,my landlord hated me having that car because i looked after it and it was petrol he does,nt like petrol and he did,nt think i deserved a nice looking car when i was on jobseekers benefits and struggled to pay the rent,so i now have a pushbike but if my new job goes well i,m outta here then i can get any car i want

    They are nice cars when they have all the electrics, wood & leather. Can pick them up cheap with rattly engines too & then just flush the oil & thrash the sticky tappets free :D

    yep they got most gadgets and i converted the ignition system to start using a debit card it also locked the central locking i only did it for a challenge but people seemed to like it round here and wondered if i could convert their cars mmm well it took me a week to wire it all and i had 8 air cooled relays using a laptop fan and part of a sky veiwing card reader to slot the card in also it took me 2 hours to etch the pin and chip section of the debit card to configure the pickup contacts in the sky card slot---i had 2 glass reed switches just hidden under the windscreen to throw the lock relays in and out and took off all of the connecting bars to the key barrels in the doors,so very difficult to open without card once locked could not even open from inside--still got the card for my next car
