Got bored of having a economical diesel Focus......so sold it lol :)

Now got a 2002 MG ZS 180, 79k on the clock. Full service history Inc every receipt and original order forms and letters from dealership. All old mot's. It's solid, could do with a machine polish but still polishes up well. It's a great drivers car. :D

I bet that sounds nice mate!! What did it cost if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking quite cheap being a v6 rover.

Oh it does, cost £1k. Plus a good service. You can get them cheaper, but this one had been well looked after and low mileage. And standard. Which is what I wanted. :)

Wow, that is a lot of car for the money. They are meant to be a great drive too. I was really tempted with one of these when I replaced my diesel focus, but went for the EP3 instead. Looks like a lovely example too.

Cheers, yeah it is.....does need a few bits tidying up, but no more than any other car of its age. Mainly just cosmetic and me being slightly ocd lol :)

Got the Longlife custom stainless steel back box fitted. 2.5" bore with 2.5" rolled out tip. Excellent job done by Paul @ Evans Performance in Middlesbrough. Sounds nice and subtle at low/constant speeds, but when you open it up! WOW!!! Sounds like a touring car lol!!! :D

It already had a straight through intermediate pipe fitted when I brought it......but with a standard back box. That's why i just got the back box done. :)

Still look for a suitable replacement MG rover gear knob, so in the mean time I've refurbed the OE one as best as I can. :)

Got my MG TF momo gear knob today, so modified it and fitted it. Looks so much better, but still looks OE. :D

Well after some little runt egged our house which left egg runs down the side of the car!!!! :mad:

I had to wash and wax the Zed again......all I can say is, at least I do keep a good layer of wax on the car or it could of damaged the paint.

Here's a pic of the side pillar, was like that down the doors too but didn't show up in the pics.

No wonder my Zed was always misted up and took ages to clear windscreen lol :)

Don't think this has ever been changed!
