Hi crapaud,
sorry for the delay in answering been a bit busy at work, we've gone onto
night shifts and stuff 'cos of some war or other going on somewhere... we're
knocking the national papers into a cocked hat with a morning edition.
Dunno of any Rover m/c around at the moment. I've never had one. I've
always bought real cheap, often in cardboard boxes and put together then
sold after a play around. Seems Rover's never come up in that state.
I'd probably have a really hard time persuading myself to sell it as well...
I've put the feelers out, found a couple of Rover bicycles from the 1930s
but that's not the same somehow. I might get one (not actually sure they're
for sale anyhow) to ride around at Billing.
Pics of your mutt didn't arrive... don't ask me why. Resend.
I don't comment on other people's writings. I'd still like to come back
The 'new' (actually old and we found some naughties so it won't last as long
as I'd hoped) bulkhead cost me 1800 GBP for fitting. Ripped off I think.
Steve Parker was on holiday. I've passed on my displeasure to him, and my
view of the guy he got in to look after the shop while he was away. So
walletwise I'm hurting real bad at the moment. I've taken to selling old
crap out the garage on ebay (UK only).
Will look out for a/c for you.
Best Cheers
Reverend Frank
