How is the popularity of the ZS in your local area. I am interested because i bought my car 8 months ago and until then had never seen a mk2 ZS in the full body kit ever in the flesh. Now however all i keep seeing is mk2 zeds. All the drivers tend to be the same we all give each others cars a good looking over everytime we pass. MG owners officially are a breed apart i think.

Interesting thing is in kilmarnock i have spotted 5 or 6 110's but only one 180. Think that says something about my area more than anything else

The mk2 180 is arare car anyway, I don't think they actually made very many anyway.

Falkirk has always been called the ZR capital of Scotland because there's hundereds of them around here for some reason. There are quite a few ZS's but very few are 180's and even fewer are mk2's. Funny enough the only other mk2 180 around me that I see regularly is almost identical to mine lol

Only ever seen 1 other MK2 ZS near me in my home town but it isnt a 180, I have never seen another MK2 180 near me (doesn't mean they don't exist!)

I am a regular traveller through W Sussex Dvid, so you may see a black Mk.2 ZS 180 screaming up the M23, from Crawley Junc :D

Yeah, I did this morning at 04:30am driving to work at LHR. Road clear & great for a full throttle!!!!!!!!

On a good run from Heathfield to LHR, normally just over the hour....not bad considering when I lived in Shepperton, Surrey last year that could take me the same time!!!! :confused:

My missus popped up to ASDA yesterday and she wondered why my car was in the car park, seems there are two TB mk1 ZS's with white alloys in the area. I've not seen him before, copycat! However this one had the low level spoiler.

I must admit the sight of a mk2 in my area is low, I can only remember two since xmas. Slightly more mk1's, but the owners are a bit strange ;)

Theres 2 Tahaiti zs's around me. Not 180's though. There a lovely mk1 tb 180 lowered and on 18s. Its an older guy driving it, I keep waving to him but he never waves back lol. Theres loads of mk2s near me, most of them 110s though. There is a very nice 180 hatch with twin exit zorst though

Interestingly mine was bought from ayr. Kilmarnock had its own rover/mg dealer until late 2004 which explains why every second car is a zr and mk2's are a rare(ish) thing.

Same here mate, Ayr/Prestwick had MGR dealers for ages.
