Lol yeah it was a rust bucket but in all honesty the 1.6 S series rover engine is quite torquey and I remember getting a small wheelspin out of a change into 4th gear!!

Hi cavalier342

Well seny is on limited mileage it's about £120 a year, granny is off the road and cavy is about £200 and something I think - not too bad all in.

Had my senny out yesterday and gave it an absolute thrashing - I am usually quite mechanically sensitive but there was an audi TT just asking for it. I got a wheelspin when the box changed from 1st to 2nd - quite impressive for an old slushbox! I was on a slight left turn up a hill so the outside wheel would have had less grip but still :)
