MikePower Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I recently exchanged my lovely black Celica for a Rover Contemporary SE on a 54 plate it`s a 1.8 turbo and surprisingly quick for the size of car (remap pos too) wish I could have kept both but I can`t afford it, compared to the Celica`s put petrol in and drive, the Rover is a whole different ballgame having a 1.8k its known for HGF if it hasn`t already had it done with the uprated gasket set which fixes it. I`m watching coolant levels like a hawk. I`d like to thank everybody in the club for all the enjoyment reading your posts and help given. Goodbye all Mike Edited March 21, 2011 by MikePower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePower Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 We had a MR2 Roadster and a Celica, we needed a car with more room plus I now car share so we kept the MR2 and swapped the Celica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nthnmunky Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Sad to see people selling up but if needs must, well then needs must! Stick around though Mike, not owning a Celica doesn't mean you can't enjoy the banter etc. We won't ostracise you for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
