Mods,
Any chance of having a new forum section set up for Rangie Classics Pre 95 and P38's??

Reason i ask this, if i'm looking thru the Rangie section, its hard to find the topics on the Classics, as some people, me including just post a generic thread, it might be related to a Classic, but it does not stipulate this.

Just trying to make my life and others easier as we get older.....lol

Yeah, I agree.

The P38's are a bit too complicated for clarkie to understand ;). Better have a beginners section :wasntme:

Sound like a good Idea though, I also would like to separate the two, perhaps "Classic Rangies, and "Post 95 Rangies" although I often look at both.

What do you mods think?? Hmmmm....

This would be a great benefit as filtering through this at the moment is like finding a needle in a hay stack.

sounds reasonable to me, the series have 3 sections, discos have 2, cant see any reason why RR cant have more than one section.

Yes it would be nice to break them up a little seen as there are more differences between a classic and a L322, then a SIII and a Defender.

We've seen what happens to P38s who like to play hard:angel:

What is your definition of a Classic?

I used to have a P76. So is my P76 twice the car that a P38 is or is a P38 only half the car that my Leyland was?

Thanks Big Jon,
I have a 1992 RR and its a beauty.
I would like to see more info on the Classics as they are all getting a little older just as we are.

hello all,
Relevant to this thread but slightly off topic.
When reading all the threads on the Classic,is there anyway that a "folder" can be created in the systemto save all the threads that I think are relevant for future refence?

I've had two P76s - including one Targa Floria - and now I've got a P38, which is at least 10 times the car that the P76 ever was. They were interesting cars, though! The common ground is of course the Rover V8. I found the Targa Floria quietly rusting away in a backyard in Bunbury, WA. It went well after a bit of TLC. I ended up swapping it for a VW Passat station wagon, which was better suited to the family.

All this is nearly twenty five years ago

I note that the new sub forum refers to 'Classic and derivatives' and 'P38a and derivatives'. I reckon that the P38a is the ultimate RRC derivative. A lot more sophisticated, but basically the same concept taken to the nth degree. The L322 and the Disco 3 are a different concept, a true new generation if you like.

But I'm happy with the new sub forums! :)
