Apart from the ZS I the home also has the wife's MGF SE and my trusty Land Rover Discovery series 2 TD5 which is my daily driver, taxi and dog wagon! I don't think I've posted an up to date picture, so here goes.

Did me proud last winter in that snow! Also a great tow car as one day the zed may be trailered when things get too expensive to run too many cars.

Great Landie there Mick, liking the nudge bar on the front with the spots. :clap:

Bags of room in there too for the family and the dogs, nice one. :mml:

I actually bought it for the dogs! So it being a 5 seater makes it more practical for us, the 7 seater ones are problematic with those dodgy air springs.

Bigger wheels! It's on 18's as it is, that's enough. Yea, roof lights, they're on my list but the snorkel is expensive for something I probably wouldn't use much.

It makes a nice change to drive as opposed to the zed, no racing about and no-one messing with you ;) I can see everything whereas in the zed I can see very little!

The wife, myself, youngest daughter and both dallys all went on holiday in that, roof rack topped up, dogs had the whole back to themselves, had a great time in Dorset, around Lyme Regis and it ate the hills!...............sort of ;)

Nice looking car though :D

Poxy fuel gauge went on me this morning, need to find out what's wrong, it's all over the place. One second it's fine then drops off the scale!
