hi guys

Post by TDHFastback » Sat Apr 10, 2010 2:19 pm

This is my first time on any computer forum (friends computer)

Little bit about myself.
I've just bought a Rover 825 Fastback Sterling Vreg in lovely pearlescent BRG. I've had 2 before. A black Sterling 825F/B in 96 and a silver 825SI F/B in 2001 (I love the fast back shape).

My love for these cars stems back to the mid 90s when I did my advanced pursuit training for the Police (yes I'm a traffic cop).

I'm trying to learn as much as possible about them and hope some of the 800 experts out there might be able to help me with bits and pieces as and when they arise.

I'm hoping to make the Longbridge rally next weekend (my first one) and see some other 800s on the road (where are they all?)
Are there any other woman 800 fans out there who I can have a natter with? :P

Welcome Kate you have come to the right place.
You should find we are a pretty friendly bunch and as you will see its not all talk about cars but most of it is.
The Sterlings are lovely cars and very well equipped and now cheap.
As you will already know there are still plenty of new parts available from places such as Rimmer Brothers
http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Category--M ... rts--m-607

Hope you enjoy Longbridge next week and you will see there are quite a few hoping to go so look out for a few more 800's.

Hi and welcome Kate, I have spoke too quite a few trafic cops who used too drive the 800's and most of them did not like them becase of the breaks faiding in pursuits. I have never had any problems with mine and yes the 800's seem to be disapearing rapidly!! I am wondering were they have all gone!!
