An induction:
My name's Rob and I live in Lincolnshire in the UK and I work in marketing for a car dealer group.
I'm into old cars (especially British ones from the 60s to the 90s). I've got a Rover 75 and I'm currently recommissioning a 90s Mini.
If you're into cars too, give me a follow 😊

Due to many company cars, I realised I've not actually owned 5 cars 🙈
1990 Rover 216 Vitesse
1995 Rover 416 Si
2004 Renault Clio dCi 100
1999 Rover 75 2.5 V6
I've also realised I only buy cars from manufacturers that start with R.

I've discovered changing website providers is exactly like moving house. Lots of stress, last minute delays, and the thought that you're never going to do it again.
Anyway, what exciting plans has everyone got for the weekend?

Someone attempted to break into the bowling alley next door to work last night, and then burned out the truck they used.

It's a very damp day in Lincolnshire today. So here's the #Rover #BRM gas turbine Le Mans racer, driven by Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart, for no particular reason other than it's pretty cool.

The highlight of last night at the British Motor Museum was a tour of their workshop. A very eclectic mix of cars in there as ever.

Had a great time at the Museum Lates event last night at the British Motor Museum.
Highlight for me was discovering this #MG Metro, a car I've walked past many times, has a 1275cc 6-cylinder engine under the bonnet. I bet it sounds amazing.

As you may have noticed, I'm fairly useless when it comes to anything mechanical. However, I have managed to change the #Rover 75's grille for a slightly nicer one today.
I'll gloss over the fact it only there were only 2 screws to undo...

I do love a #RangeRover Classic. I've probably said before, but it would be the first thing on my post-lottery win car shopping list.
This one is a long wheelbase too, so extra rare.

I would love this so much, so well done.
Staggering details on the one-off P5 estate. Integrated S124 tailgate, reprofilee rear doors with quarterlights, flat folding rear seats with carpet filler, extended by 7 inches, concealed petrol cap. The same bloke built a P5 drop head with an electric Cadillac hood.

Hearing of Quentin Wilson's passing today is very sad.
I grew up watching him on TV, and he was a fellow fan of a luxo-barge.
Here's him talking about the Rover 75 in his own unique style.

One of my favourite things at the NEC Classic Motor Show was the #MG PR3, one of the prototypes that led to the MGF.

Leaked photos of the new #Renault Twingo. It's a shame it's lost the hidden rear door handles, but I guess cost constraints came into play. I still think it looks great.
