Poor old "Boat" had been a really excellent car. The Rover 825SD has a turbo-diesel engine as used in the Range Rover Turbo D, but here in a lighter, more aerodynamic two-wheel drive body — so this car really flew yet was economical with it.
I have to admit, it did take a while to get used to the super-damped power steering, but I did, and enjoyed it while being held in place in excellent leather Recaros.
Then a wheel fell off. Yeah, of course. We never did work out why — none of the components showed any obvious signs of failure, and it was just that the drive-shaft had popped out, at both ends!
