General Car Chat / Sold My Mig.
« on: 16 August 2013, 15:32:56 »
I sold my mig yesterday after 6yrs ownership, (the longest time I have ever owne'd a car), I have bought a Rover 75 1.8t top of the range model that I could not refuse, with 93.000 & most of the s/history, it's superb to drive & very fast for a 1.8t. I must thank all you members who have given a lot of help keeping my mig in good nick. I wish you all the best. Big Mel.

I'd like to say yes, but the policeman of to-day have to watch evey move they make it must be very frustrating for them, they are not allowed to do the job properly chances they get nancy boys in westminster who dont live the world we have live in saying they are to hard on the crims. when i was a lad you had respect for the police, so i reluctantly say no.

I think i might just scrape through, after spending 44yrs driving hgv's but you are learning all the time, does anyone remember a program on tv called Highway Patrol? the program allways ended with the star of the show saying, be as good a driver as you think you are. good advice i think.

Del the xk engine can also suffer from low oil pressure it was what I allways look'ed for. & the SU petrol pumps in the boot can give trouble.
