Well ive owned it for a few months now after wanting one and saving for ages and agesl ol.
Im really pleased with it, and as a new member thought I should post some pics... as some of you will probably be able to tell from the pics? its a 120+ model.

Heres some pics after a good clean & polish a few days after I bought it, and the later pics are after I fitted the spoiler, hope you like.

Cheers, John. :)

I live near Bude in Cornwall, the first lot of pics where taken on my drive, and the pics with the spoiler on were taken by Widemouth bay beach which is near Bude.

The pics that are taken on my driveway were taken with my 3 megapixel camera jobby, but the others were with my friends camera... I just asked him what it is and it was a a nikon d50 with a 16-55mm lens.

Thanks for the positive comments all :).

I had a feeling that was south!

I was not far from you a couple of weeks ago as I was visiting my sister who lives near Tavistock, in the middle of nowhere :laugh: superb ZS driving country :D

What a small world!

Tavistock, what a lovely town.

My sis lives in Dippertown! Must be a couple of miles from Jethro's at Lewdown.

Nice car you have there, i have family who live in Plymouth which is not so far away from Tavistock. Been to st-Ives at the end of August, Cornwall is a nice place to be i think.

Nice ZS.

You used to have a coupe turbo didnt you?
i remember seeing a pic of it in that drive recently?

Yes small world indeed :)

I go to Plymouth fairly regularly aswell.

Dave, yes I did have a coupe turbo, thats very observant of you to recognise the driveway :)

I had to sell her unfortunatly to fund the ZS, after 4 enjoyable years of ownership and work put into it. Heres a few pics of it >>>

Nice Coupe there, think I have seen that before too.

Its for sale atm on RoverTec.

I was very tempted to swap + cash my way for my 180.
But then i changed my mind :) I already have a MG turbo anyway and would miss the 180
(Nice to have the engine in a ZS) Runing about 250bhp isnt it??

Yes 253bhp, I did have plans for 300ish, and had all the parts just had to get the dta mapped but I have always wanted a ZS so when I saw this one for sale fairly locally I couldnt say no. :) So sold the coupe to a Rovertech member.

The coupe was great though, obviously much faster in a straight line but the ZS handles like a dream and overall im pleased I have the ZS instead.

What Mg turbo is it you have?

John :)
