My Baby is Dead
Got the call from the Rover dealer: I need a new short-block.
She's going under a tarp now, and perhaps later in the year I'll do the block. Or, maybe by then the matter will be irrelevant.
She was a damn good Rover; In fact, she was my dream car. I will always treasure the year that I had with it. The stereo system that I sang along with, the grace with which it articulated corners, and the way the water beaded off it's impeccable finish.
Thank God for Rovers, and thank God I got to drive one.
Over & Out, my brothers.

Oh, I know Phil... It hit me hard a few minutes ago, but I'm better now. I don't care that I still owe some money on this one, or that I just put $2,100 into the engine. That Rover was my dream come true, and every time I looked at it, I smiled. It made my day just to be able to sit in it.
I feel like I knew that baby more intimately than I know most of my friends, and I am definitely very sorry to see it go.
They said it was a crack behind the number 7 sleeve.

Scratch that plan- I was just looking, and I'm seeing SE7 2004s with 60k miles going for $16k.
That is crazy! I owe $6k on mine, and I'm going to let a $4k engine do it in?
Naaaah. I can't do that.
I don't have the money now, but in April I will. One month and two weeks, and my beloved Land Rover will again grace the streets.
