Your Previous Motor
Nicking the idea from a thread on the mgzr, i thought would see what cars people on here had before the zs, am guessing a lot of zr' but wonder what other nuggets of joy will appear:) Here's my old zr120, which has apparently just got a new owner so should be scooting about the Dundee area with someone else at the wheel:(

Major Come Down...
Well I am going to get in here and make you all green with envy :-D because I had the most fantastic coupe that unfortunately was written off...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . An R Reg Hyundai Accent Coupe in a light green shade, didn't really go or corner, had a big dent behind the drivers door (from when it was written off in Dec 05) and also a dent in the boot where I lost the plot one time and kicked it (oops):slap:. Also the drivers side window didn't work, neither did the sunroof and it didn't have air conditioning - sweat box in the summer. Then again it did get written off for about twice what I paid for it from a mate and I even managed to sell it for a couple of hundred as well... One thing I do miss though is the variable speed intermittent wiper (on the wrong side - Korean Car). Looking forward to seeing if anyone had anything worse before stepping up to a ZS180!!! |
Ok in order:
1. Fiat uno sx 2. Nova 3. Civic 4. Seat Cordoba sxe 5. Accent mvi 6. Rover 200 7. Seat Cordoba sx 8. Megane 9. Alfa 156 10. MG ZS and all since 1999 |
4 Attachment(s)
here's my 2 previous MG's. Before that i had : (in no particular order)
Cavalier GSI 2000 Cavalier SRI 16v Astra SRI Sapphire Cosworth Escort RS Turbo 3 x Orion Ghia I 3x Fiesta XR2 MK2 Renault 19 16v Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 VW Golf GTI MK2 That's the ones i can remember, the rest i had were bought purely to make cash on. My 1st car was a 1.1 Fiesta MK2 done up to look exactly like an XR2. |
1st - Rover 214i
2nd - ZR 105 ... and now the ZS. :) MG-R from the beginning. ;) Oh, and i / we still have them all. |
1. H reg Peugeot 309 (wasnt mine, it was my cousins, but I used cause she couldnt drive yet, but I crashed it anyway...)
2. H reg Renault Clio RL (only 4 gears! Bullet proof car though, ran perfectly well with one spark plug not working, it managed to weld itself in and we couldnt get it out) 3. Citroen Saxo VTR (Hated that car...) 4. MG ZS 120 :D As you can see, I was quite glad with the MG, only to get away from the froggy cars... |
Where do I start?
To answer the specific question in the title, I would have to say a ZS180 (LMG mk1). This car was fitted with a BMC CDA and Leda suspension. When I sold it, it had over 144,000 miles on the clock and had done at least 12 track days. |
old motors
sorry no pics, 1st car i had was a Vauxhall Nova 1.2 Diamond with electric windows :tease:, then i had a Fiat Punto Sporting which was pretty good fun. Then i had a Pug 206 D turbo, which was Awesome
