Made a good job of parking it, lol

hope ya get it back on the road soon m8

my dad said something like ''looks like some pikeys have nicked someones vw and dumped it up downfields'' so that must be what he was on about what happend then? obviously the wheel broke off but howcome?

You aint avin much luck with this mate,

is the future bright?

ohh no lewi, wat happend??

hope ur ok n ur gf if she was with ya

WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all fixed now, well its drveable. thanks for everyones help.

just need descent wheels to keep it less standard.

Abit of an update. After a lot of umming and arring she has finally been taken off the road. Unfortunatly after not starting one day and needing a car that does more than -8mpg due to getting a house, the rocc will not be out to play for a little while.

its not all bad though, shes getting a 2.0l heart (even though the 5.3 v12 jag lump i just picked up for 40 notes would be my dream to put in) and going on a carb diet so she'll be singing dancing soon. Watch this space for project rocc out.

Sounds like good plans lewis. mark n me thought the jag v12 would be fun when his rocco was next to his dads xjs.

i think you should put the v12 in there lewis, move the bulkhead back, shorten the prop shaft, cut the rear floor out of a jag and replace your rear with that. jobs a goodun!

seen an old rover on the net somehwere with a 27litre rolls royce engine from a spitfire or something in it. so it must be possible!

that'd be the one in practical performance car.

theres actuall some pretty good stuff in there...

i saw that rover when i went to the le mans classic last year. When it gave it the beans, it felt like it put its hand down my pants and had a play.

With v12 i was thinking more along the lines of spaceframe the rear, sit it behind the seats and put the auto box pretty much straight to the diff. Cant see me doing it though, i want it on the road by june.

not sure if there would be enough room for it behind the seats? as you know they are a huge engine, add in the box and the diff and its going to be pretty loooong
