***Ahhh, that's right! I remember now. Those SUV's are dangerous things, and shouldn't be used on paved roads at any speed, let alone the speeds they are now capable of.That was before the SUV madness. Hers was the 3500 model, a hatchback, a nice car and quite stylish. We once considered buying one - my wife fell in love with its right away, but then we talked to some folks and bought an Audi instead. Rover sold the 3500's in the US in the late 70's or very early 80's, I believe, so "successfully" that it virtually destroyed the brand name. The best thing about that car was its dashboard - two people could comfortably fornicate on it.
But you are right about the SUV's. My high hour is usually right after the snowstorm, when I drive my BMW to work past those big ugly things sitting in the ditch - our roads here are windy and hilly. Their drivers believe in their invincibility - the size is supposed to replace the skills.
