Special duties for my P6

Hi All, Just thought I'd let you know my other half is in hospital having a hip replacement operation. The P6 was used to take her in and will be used to pick her up from hospital, as the good lady, with her current mobility problems, finds it so much easier to get in & out of than either of our modern cars. The leather seats are slidy and flat, as opposed to the "bucket" type seats in our Audi. Anyway, I hope she'll be ok, and she says it'll be a treat to ride home in a nice old leathery, wafty and smooth car. She loves the P6, and I'll be in deep doo-doo if I ever sell it. Guess I'll have to keep it then... 8)

Anyway, fingers crossed she'll make a good recovery..
 
Yes, all the best and fingers crossed for the opp.

There's something lovely about properly sprung seats that adapt to your "contours", rather than lumps of foam that force you where they want you.
 
I don't know why some folk don't understand this hobby :?

There's so many uses to it :wink:

GWS Mrs V8P6B :)
 
Yes the seats in the P6 are superb. The most comfortable I have ever used in a car.

Mind talking of slidy leather seats I was always glad of the steering wheel to hang on to when navigating my old P4 in a strictly non P4 manner, I think the doors were there as a means to stop passengers sliding out on corners not as a means of entry :LOL: .
P4 purists will say that such a car should not be driven in such a manner.

Hope the op goes well for your wife.
 
Thanks for all the kind comments. The Ops been done now, and she's awake and sat up in bed. I couldn't believe how bright she was afterwards, all things considered. I was expecting at least some grogginess. She'll be running rings around me again in no time... :D
 
Well, the other half's home now, after the op, and is doing well. Picked her up yesterday, while the weather was gorgeous. The Rover behaved faultlessly, and the good lady appreciated the soft cossetted ride through the country lanes back home, no nasty jolts over the bumpy bits; she was quite tender after the op. As always, I really enjoy driving my Rover, and the weather yesterday was the icing on the cake; drove home with the windows open too. My other half enjoyed the trip home, she reckons the nice, wafty comfortable drive home was a good start to the recovery process. 8)
 
Excellent news, and you'll soon get the hang of the washing machine and duster driving whilst your wife recuperates :LOL:

Tell me about it... I never realised caring for someone was such hard work.. I was exhausted yesterday... :shock: Hats off to people who have to do it permanently!

I totally agree, so it's a shame Rover opted for Dunlopillow biodegradable foam for their front seats, most of which now seems to be a yellow powder!
