i own a roller

**muddymech** · 11th January 2009, 10:06 PM

i think its a great idea but could cost a huge fortune, some rollers are down to 5k in the uk but the corrosion in them is horrific, try a search of uk sites that will probably give a good idea to what you are letting yourself in for.

haha,, so true mate, hows ya rangie going with the new rear diff, i have gone out to glass house twice since then now an not a thing has gone wrong( touch wood)

The rangies fine thanks - plenty of spares - did the work at night as it was during those couple of hot days and the airconditioning was more inviting than working on the car. I've had my fair share of tow truck rides with the rangie - thats why I have RACQ Ultra Cover, first 50km free - it hurts after that but better than paying for the full amount.

I reckon if you can find a sweet looking Rolls and its not going to completely financially break you going for it - they are fun.

I was looking at a Just Cars mag yesterday whilst waiting to go to theatre. A Turbo R was advertised for $25K!

Almost worth buying just to have in the driveway.

If you cant do the Maintenance/Mechanical work on it yourself, don't buy it, same with Mercs, Regards frank.
