Had a 3 minute mini-green-Rover-convoy this morning from Stanmore to Summer Hill.

I pulled out of the side street just as he drove past on Stanmore Rd, quickly decided it was worth choosing a slightly different route to work so that we could have a mini mini convoy :) I left him at Summer Hill so I could resume my commute...

I think it was the guy from Pyrmont with the 95 Cooper with the RC40 (If I recall correctly)

It was a bit like watching the movie The Black Hole - where there's a time warp and there was 2 versions of the little robot (Bob, I think it was called), one beated up and battle scarred and one pristine and new. Here's my 1990 Cooper with scruffy replacement doors, missing trim, dented grille and missing spotlamp and this guy's 95 model which looked pretty smart from where I was sitting!!

Maybe it wasn't you then!! :)

I know there's a few BRG Rovers around but I knew it wasn't boyracer as it didn't have the sticker on the boot that he's got in his avatar.

Definitely wasn't me. BRG Rovers seem to be prolific. We could do an Italian Job. :twisted:
