Craig's 827 Coupe (name that car!)

Post by Craig » Wed Oct 30, 2013 8:09 pm

After a few Rover-free years, I'm back, with a car many members here will recognise.

I bought this beastie from Mick (aka metelmickey) on Saturday. Saw his 'for sale' post in the afternoon, got in touch and almost before I knew what was happening, I was on a train bound for Winchester that evening.

It's not exactly standard and less than subtle. I feel it deserves a nickname. I quite like "The Batmobile".

Suggestions?

Too much chrome to be a Batmobile. However, get rid of the boot spoiler and chrome and stencil some red Batman roundels on the doors and have some fun.

Don't worry, Mick. The only thing at risk of being changed is the front bumper, before the slope at the end of my driveway takes a huge bite out of it!

Funnily enough, I did (briefly) consider 'black widow'! I decided against any name with 'widow' in it. We don't want to go giving my Mrs any ideas, now.

Some great suggestions so far. Thanks guys. Do keep 'em coming!

Wipers fixed today. Thankfully was an easy fix - just a loose nut. A few turns with a 13mm spanner and I can drive in the rain again! :D
