Rover Revivals Revival

[Julesmat50]

Insurance companys and women are very similar to mushrooms! Just keep them in the dark and feed them sh*t!! *laughs*

We probably all do it, to a greater or lesser extent, but having worked for an insurance company in the long distance past, they are always looking for ANY reason not to pay out, so just be aware as you keep 'em in the dark and feed 'em poop - it might just turn round and bite you in the wallet!

So let’s get my thread back on track before it becomes a discussion on insurance do’s and don’ts.

3 days until I get the keys!

Current unit a total pig sty do to having to get all my shelves out first.

Can’t wait for the week from hell to start.

[RoverRevival]

Woohoo, officially have the keys in my hand

Damn the place looks massive now it's empty, won't be for long though.

I already have my first car booked in as well.

[RoverRevival]

Well, 7 double van loads and not even half the kit is moved.
I think that quantifies nicely the amount of kit we have. That doesn't include car parts either

[GTiJohn]

Congrats

Looking forward to seeing more pics as it develops.

[RoverRevival]

Well, today is building day, all the solid structures and shelving needs building today.

But damn I'm broken, my dads broke (and 68), my mates broken (and 57).

Thank god i opted to allow the entire month to move everything.

[RoverRevival]

Beginning to think this is the never-ending story.

Day 3, 7 trips by 2 vans and not even half the kit is here yet.
On the plus side, kettle and brew tackle is now onsite which showed up another issue. Seeing as i am the only one in the building at the moment, there is no fresh water

Anyway, i'll shut up and post some pics.

[ROVER-25X]

Looking good mate, its like the good old days again.

Glad there is brew facilites on site, will be needed.

I have a 25lt table mounted water jug and tap if you need it.

Never heard of rover revivals before this thread but ive slowly been reading this and this place looks wicked! 1234dist did you used to work at Longbridge or are you just a rover nut?

[Mr Teddy Bear]

Just a nut!

[Jamesridgway1994]

[RoverRevival]

I’m an 18 year addict of the r8 having owned all dirivitives bar the l-series. Spanning approximately 235 cars in my previous possession. At my peak insanity I had 14 cars at once, when I had the previous Rover Revival.

Ford Orion 1.6 Ghia
Opel manta get
Astra 2.0 get mk1
Ford escort rs turbo mk1
Rover 214s (full poverty spec and manual choke)
Rover 216 coupe (amaranth)
And so on for 18 years....*laughs*

[GTiJohn]

Any Longbridge employees on here?

Yes but better start a separate thread on tis rather than hijack Craig's.

[Mr Teddy Bear]

The workshop is coming on well Craig; when you've finished it just need to move it South by about 100 miles!
