    No, although it wouldn't surprise me, he does love his rovers.
    Was still at a lockup in brum awaiting a new engine, last i heard.

    So did the cossie idea fizzle out then stu. Good news your getting another thoug, maybe you'll keep this one longer and not break it so often.. When you find one that is..

    Bomb. . . I just miss it in general to be honest, although the money i got for it was good i just think ffs why did i break a decent motor? Oh well live and learn.

    Andy, id stil like to have a cossie but to be honest i want a volvo aswell lol 6k is a fair whack to spend on an old sierra. Dont get me wrong i love em to pieces! Maybe 1 day il own both lol
