Hello everyone,
I joined the forum because I regret having given away mrs. Becker (1971 P6B, Mexico Brown, LPG converted, luminition, kenlowe, etc. etc. Becker SatNav of course, one of the first and the only one that doesn't spoil the console) after 10 years of faithfull erveryday service (60 miles/day for the last 4 years, mostly motorway). She's in good hands at the moment, being lovingly restored to her former glory by someone who has 2 other P6s.
But I regret doing away with her sincerely. I now drive a Citroen XM V6 exclusive. Good car, no problems with it but it gulps petrol and feels one is conducting Starship Enterprise. Having been all over the internet looking at Jags, Mercs, Beamers even, God forbid, it suddenly occured to me a couple of weeks ago that I realy want a P6 again. Hence my renewed subscription to this forum.
Further background: Free-Lance qual marketing researcher and teacher at bachelors level (marketing research, consumer behaviou, psychology). Living in Amsterdam centre, hence no garage or room to work on a car. There's a very very good and reasonable Rover specialist here though, with a crew that still knows these cars from when they were still in production. They even used to have an informal owners meeting on friday afternoons until the police found out and set up traps to check on alcohol. Without results, obviously
.
I joined this excellent and friendly forum to polish up my knowledge of the cars and perhaps become aware of my new love in RHD form ....
Best regards,
Aleph
