I was wondering if anyone picked it up. I am also cleaning up my back yard which means some of my 1980 Rovers have to find new homes. They are in various conditions from hole cars to rolling chassis. Some will be donated to charity some parts will end on ebay later this month. One car that I am keeping (unfinished project) has a 1970 Buick 455, only one in the world as far as I know. So email me if you need anything please send email or call me. Alvin (TopDogRover) 323-397-4362 **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.

I am so keen to get the British Car Cottage Industries web site "out there" that I may step outside the bounds a bit. But, if you haven't done already, take a look at www.britcot.com - its concept is quite new Regards Barrie Barrie Robinson (705) 721-9060 http://www.britishv8.org/MG/BarrieRobinson.htm http://www.britcot.com /// /// buick-rover-v8@autox.team.net mailing list /// From owner-buick-rover-v8-6dek@autox.team.net Wed Dec 12 22:17:41 2007 From: "David Robertson" To: Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 21:16:58 -0800 Subject: Lowest prices for Rover engine rebuild parts? Hi, I have an older 215 that was bored/ stroked to 305 by Ray Baker. It's a great engine but now is getting tired. This 215 block obviously cant be taken any larger so I'm planning to get a 4.0 block and use the 300 crank and heads in a newer 4 bolt block. It's been quite a few years since the earlier engine was done so I'm going into sticker shock at prices for Rover engine rebuild stuff like gaskets, rings, etc. Any suggestions out there for the best combination of lower prices/ decent service?

Some things will be different, some will be the same. As before, if you want to send mail to buick-rover-v8@autox.team.net you send mail to buick-rover-v8@autox.team.net - you'd be surprised at how many folks can NOT figure that one out! With Mailman, managing your subscription should be more web friendly. You can go to the web pages listed in the messages and muck about with your settings. One change is that there is now a digest option - you can have the massive amounts of daily traffic to this list collected into one big chunk of email, rather than individual messages. I'm sure some folks will like that! Another handy option is the 'nomail' feature. If you are going to be away from your email for a while, you can set your membership to nomail, and then back to regular delivery upon your return. A bit easier than having to unsubscribe and then subscribe again. A useful way to make use of the nomail feature is to enable submissions from multiple addresses. For example, one might want to subscribe a-student@diploma.mill.edu as your main address. But sometimes you send mail from work, so you can subscribe busybee@monolith.com and set the second address to nomail. So messages you send from either address will pass the membership test, but you won't get multiple copies of each list message. RealSoonNow I'll have a web page that covers some more of the various differences and features. mjb.
