Can't actually believe this hasn't already been asked, if it has, accept my apologies.

I will start;
a 52 plate ZS 120. - oh the shame lol, she does however have a straight through exhaust and an induction kit. Nothing flash, just makes her sound lovely.

i drive as a daily a Rover 45 MK2 diesel from 2004 which im changing in a MK2 ZS from the outside with bodykit & extreme spoiler

i also have a Rover 200 Vi from 1999 with a MG Trophy Edition engine inside it
from the outside its almost (except the front) a MG ZR also with the ZR shocks and brakes.

and as an old skool car i drive a Toyota Starlet 1.0 Special from 1986
for this car i have an original and complete Haslbeck bodykit (front spoiler, wheelarches, sideskirts, rear bumper and the spoiler) that was an option back in the days
there is a little rust that has to be fixed and then the bodykit will be mounted and the whole car will be repainted in its original white but a little white so that your eyes will hurt when the sun shines lol

Got 2 at the moment.

2005 ZS 105 , had it 7 years (bought new, oh the good times of economic boom!! Also a car ownership record for me)

2004 ZS 180 mk2. Got it 8 months ago.

Both RHD on French plates. ZS105 is now sort of a project. Fixing up various things on it before I try sell it on.

Mine is 51 plate, 120+ (hatch) in anthracite. Owned it for a year now and keep kicking myself for not getting one sooner!

Have a cat-back Powerflow exhaust fitted and a K&N panel filter at the mo but have started putting some readies aside for a closed induction system, bigger throttle body and remap.

Am also slowly getting the bodywork in order, as and when I can grab a couple of hours at the weekend.

Daily drive is a 02 plate ZS180 hatch.

I also own a 1996 MGF 1.8i and a 1963 series 2a LandRover...

The F is on the road but doesn't get out much (single parent of 2 kids )

The 2a is SORN and needs work to get back on the road...

Oh and almost forgot, I am slow time restoring my BSA Bantam motorcycle :)

mk1 180, had it three years and love it, ive even come to terms with its drinking problem lol.

Would love a mk2 because of the looks but cant let her go with the work ive done to her so may make it a mk1.5 and have the best of both worlds. The looks of a mk2 with the build quality of a mk1.

Would love to charge it. Would love a lsd. good to dream.

Totally standard Royal Blue ZS 180 54 plate backed up with the wifes ZR 115 TD!

Paintwork could do with a deep polish and freshen up on the ZS but theres always something else to replace on it to snap up the funds before I get chance!

15-04-12, 08:45 PM
2001 ZS180 saloon in trophy yellow - induction and exhaust and many other modifications - had it for 4 years which is a record for a daily driver.

Also MG Maestro 2.0i fitted with a 16v 2.0 turbo engine - almost totally modified in every department - sorned for 3 years

Share an MGF mk1 VVC which looks standard but has better interior and audio - just re-taxed but needs a suspension pumped.

Then there is Mrs TC's ZR and the kids R100's.

15-04-12, 09:14 PM
I had a Mk1 saloon 2002/3 180 in Trophy yellow and a Mk2 saloon 2004 180 in Starlight silver

wish I still had the Mk1 I regret selling it, would make a ideal car to back up my everyday car which is a Porsche boxster S.

Ive also owned a MGF 160 Trophy, MGTF 160 and a MG ZR 105, oh and 2 MG ZTT Cdti lol

Ive got a starlight silver MK2 ZS 180, had it for 2 years and never want to get rid of it. Puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it.

Its totally standard, but came packed with pretty much every option including the traffic master clock, black oak interior, full leather seats and *drumroll* a sunroof.

No dual exit exhaust though. Yet.

I currently have:

'04 plate black MK2 ZS 180

and

'51 plate red MK1 ZS 180

Totally different modifications (one stripped, one tech'd!) and love them both!

Ive got a 54 plate Mk2 ZS180 on 55K pretty much standard except for the twin exhausts, which ive owned since december and I love it.

But my main driver is a Y reg (2001) MG ZR160 in trophy blue, 96K miles and still going strong. I also have a S reg Rover 200 SDi which the Gf drives and I occasionally use when the weather is really bad. (skinny tires and torque for snow =Win!!!)




Cheers,

Currently own a 216 coupe with customs exhaust and an induction kit.
Also a 51 plate ph 1 zs 120, customs exhaust, green cotton enclosed induction kit, team dynamics alloys..... Its being rebuilt at the mo.

Also hidden away is an R reg 306 D turbo (possible D project) and realy the reminiscence of an 1983 mini mayfaire also a future rebuild project. And I dosnt know if this counts but a 6spd Honda 125 powerd go-cart.

Needs a proper poll so we can see a breakdown of cars IMHO ....

Anyway -

2007 BMW 325d M Sport coupe - Best car I've ever owned I'm sorry to say - just under 200 bhp and 40mpg .....

You guys who are new and wondering why I'm here - over the last couple of years I've owned 4 180s and a diesel. (Love the site though and I'm going nowhere). I'm embarassed about that when I see that some of you have owned your cars for 7-8 years - hats off .....

Don't be embarassed Dan, since i've been driving I have had near on 60 cars! So who am I to talk! :laugh: I've regretted many cars I have sold and wish I could turn back time and keep them! Hence why I still have this ZS, I love it too much and would regret selling it after what I have done to it and also it's been the most reliable car I have ever owned.


PS also drive a Series 2 Land Rover Discovery TD5, dog wagon, tow barge and family car. Sometimes I get to drive an MGF SE Wedgewood (in my name but wife drives it!)
