@Gray352709 @barnfinds I’ve resurrected many a Ro80. Originally put away due to suspected engine failure. Only to find there was nothing wrong with it. Inexperienced mechanics and misdiagnosis was a major factor.

@OnDisasters @hw97karbine I think you need to educate yourself a little with regards to the Ro80 engine!

[Phil Blake @DJPhilmanns]

@hw97karbine I think the outcome of that is very impressive. A safety cell was very much part of the Ro80 design. The high sills are also very effective against side impacts. Plus the fuel tank is under the rear parcel shelf , thus in the scenario shown, the tank would not rupture.

@o_nephuth @hw97karbine That’s an urban myth.

@RoadworkUK @matterofapinion I’m about to scrap what is currently the last running V4 powered Ro80 on U.K. roads!

[Phil Blake @DJPhilmanns]

@Michel1Bouillet @MartinLaGrang10 @GeorgeCochrane1 I agree. It’s not a Ro80

[Phil Blake @DJPhilmanns]

@RichardHobo1 @GeorgeCochrane1 Peugeot 304 I reckon. I own a Ro80 and it’s definitely not one.

[Phil Blake @DJPhilmanns]

@RichardHobo1 @GeorgeCochrane1 Renault 6 behind the GS. But where is there a Ro80? I can’t see it 😀

[Phil Blake @DJPhilmanns]

@teuraskarju @JolokiaTheSpicy That’s not a Ro80 rotor.

@DyingNight6 At an hour and a half we weren’t even half way there. Couldn’t take any more and had to bail wasting entry, travel & overnight stay expenses. Never again!

@drumsheds #drumsheds Last night was a disgrace. After 1.5 hours of queuing and not even being half way there my friend and I decided to bail due to feeling unsafe and claustrophobic. We then had to fight our way back through the queue behind us to get out. I want a refund! 🤬

@Lancaster_Ins Can’t believe how many thought it was a Ro 80! 😳

[Phil Blake @DJPhilmanns]

@hundekuchenMC @De_JaY On the contrary, it’s actually become increasingly easier to keep the originals running. Better parts availability now than there’s been in decades. Very few Ro80’s thse days that have engine conversions.

@DaiDavies2312 @thecarfactoids @neilmbriscoe @t2stu @DarraghMcKenna @TopOfTheTower @StvCr @autocar @LincsPolice Actually, in the contrary, that’s what they thrive on. Just not when cold!

[Phil Blake @DJPhilmanns]

@aaron_smart It was on some of the Ro80 brochures at the time.

@W123World @CandSCmagazine I think the values that they now command point towards desired rather than undesired.
