My car looks alright with winter tires.

And more importantly, you have correct wheel drive.

Not sure if that’s what you meant but his BMW is AWD.

Oh well, atleast it’s a rear biased AWD :)

Like... a cop car? A post apocolyptic road warrior mobile? Bad ass?

I’m a Rover driver for heaven’s sake...

Adds to list of cars not seen in years. The 75 that followed is getting scarce as well.

When I was in Norway I wondered what all those green number plates (red car in background) were and asked the receptionist at the place I was staying. Said she didn’t know either so we had to ask Mr Google.

Registered as a van. Yes, a Passat.

Yes, I did notice that the Norwegian interpretation of “commercial vehicle” seemed to be very wide!

Rover 600 Series, nice. We had a Rover 820Si saloon in BRG metallic. I loved that car. It wasn’t fast (it had enough pace to do what you wanted it to do) but the thing was so comfy and relaxing it was like driving around on your sofa so you didn’t care.

We later got a Rover 25 1.4i, good little run anout though very dated as nothing had really changed since the 200 Series came out.

The last Rover was a Rover 75 Connouseir with a 1.8 K Series engine, the car looked okay, had what you want and the electric retractable sun screen on the rear parcel shelf was a nice touch. The legroom though was appalling, both front and rear.

I apologize for my awful americanism! I have been damaged by consuming to much cultural content from those colonial types...

Mine’s a 620ti, so the suspension is firmer than the Honda engined 600s. Still, it has a fairly good ride/handling balance. After all, it’s a Rover...
