That ZT looks nice, what model and spec was that then ?

stamford 24-12-07 06:01 PM

Nice Stag, genuine V8 or Rover conversion?

wilko66 24-12-07 08:31 PM

Zt was the 160 turbo, stag was original V8 with the manual overdrive, loved the stag didn't like the zt, nearly pxed the zt for the 260 V8 version a dealer at gravesend had, but it had a few too many scratches on it :blink:

I sold all the parts from my old ZR over on theMGZR.co.uk, a local guy bought my bling and covers but sold some of it not long after as he had a 2ltr conversion. He pinched my pic for the add. Actually there's a few people touting my picture to advertise their own products :spider:

MGZS180 24-12-07 09:55 PM

There are some SUPERB looking cars there and some that bring back some memories like the Vauxhalls. At the moment I have the MGZS180, a Nissan Micra and a Triumph TR7 Convertible (restoration).

Nice paint job, but I am not a fan of those body kits at all. However I cannot knock the effort put in to transform the car. I'm sure you were proud of it.

Andyf 16-04-08 10:23 AM

My first car was a Fiesta 1.1 automatic (with CVT) handed down to me by my Mum!! I then got a Saxo VTR before trading it in for a VTS which I put a K&N induction kit on and lowered,

My first car was a Suzuki Ignis Sport, which I only recently changed for the ZS180. The Ignis was actually a very good car, quick as a VTR, with nice Recaro seats as standard, and a great steering wheel and pedal arrangement. Superb handling and feel too.
