Perhaps...several years ago, I 'arranged' a sale of a IIa 88 - brought the
buyer and seller together. The buyer was a rich yuppie buying the rover
for his just-turned-17 son. The Rover had a blown head gasket (known
before hand) and I helped the owner replace it - or rather, he watched
while I worked. No problems, 'cept we needed some new heater hose. The
autoparts store was only a half mile away as the crow flies, so the owner
flips the keys to his Porsche to the son who rockets out of the driveway.
We could hear the engine screaming all the way to the store...and all the
way back. I said a short prayer for the Rover, as I knew it wasn't long
for the road....
