our street is full of em, all brand new ones, presumably from the rover garage down the road. Dunno if it's anything to do with the recent Rover news or just coincidental new stock overspill but ive been looking at them and i quite fancy a blue ZS180!

nah, you will for ages. Will be pattern parts only after a while, but the latest mk3s share most parts with the older mk2s anyway, and there millions of them about. As long as there's a demand for parts, factors will keep supplying them.

Cars should be cheap as chips to buy anyway so that offsets that worry really.

They reckon the chinese are just gonna do what BMW did, pick the best bits and the technology then bin the rest Sad why take on all the Rover pension scheme's and debts when they can just play the waiting game and wait for Rover to run out of money then get what they want for pennies.

All BMW wanted was the 4x4 technology that Land Rover had, and the mini, but even with that 4x4 knowledge they still managed to make the X5 shit.
