Ha, so far so good there too :-) I also have a (Chrysler-Fiat) Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Awesome, awesome, fun car to drive.
Cute thanks for sharing. I think he made need a few lessons though before you allow him to go solo on date night!!! 8>)
Too cute.
Lol...same thought passed my mind. I warned someone recently who was all excited about buying one. I told them about the mechanical issues and that they are a wealthy persons status symbol because you have to be wealthy to keep it running. They bought it and went through a nightmare experience and sold it within 2 months. They didn’t really learn because they bought another vehicle I consider to be a high maintenance brand but haven’t been as talkative about this one.
Yeah I had 2 TR4’s and the electrical was always a problem. That’s why they called Lucas the Prince of Darkness!!! They rust real easily too.
Guaranteed that the Beetle will be less of a headache. That was my first car, and it was as reliable as the sun coming up every morning. Perfect maintenance free, for the most part, easy to fix dependable car, good on gas.
I have 16 years on my Rover. It starts every time, rides well and has excellent visibility.
It does what it is supposed to do, never did understand all the hate toward Rovers. They are revered in many parts of the world.
and a fire extinguisher....
Lucas Electrics....On....off....BZZZZTT.....smoke.......fire.
I think most people think of them as “snooty”. I love mine. You don’t have a Defender by any chance?

Self aggrandize much???
What if everyone here did this?
.
.
No kidding!
(except Rover is now Chinese)
Range Rover? Because you live in the Serengeti?
An F150 wouldn’t be better?
.
Your 16 year old Rover is a real one.
They are cobbled together in China now.
.
Wish I did.
US Rovers are still made in England. The company is now owned by Tata of India.
I understand that...
I’ve heard that 90% of the Range Rovers ever made are still on the road.
The rest made it home.
(rim shot!)
Plus you always have a passenger compartment that smells like, well, a VW. Nothing like blowing the incoming air over the cylinder cooling fins to pick up a certain odor.
Showing all your neat stuff on the Internet is an invitation for BLM advocates to pay you a visit.
