Biggest Automotive Regret...
 

With all of my cars I have one huge regret and that is swapping my ZS out for this stupid crappy 75...

I am at the stage now where I want another ZS 180... and I think it has to be a Saloon Mk2! (Had a Mk1 Hatch and a Mk1 Saloon already)

I don't have a huge amount to spend on one though so I might be stuck with the 75 for a while.

TBH the 75 is not that bad and I've now "ironed out" most, if not all, of the bugs... but my goodness have I fallen out of love with the car now! When I get around to selling it the new owner will get a well sorted car... its just not the car for me...

So, what are your biggest regrets within your car history? and why? :)

oh... and I saw this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZS-2-5-...item2a1b5a7085 - damn wish I had the money... lol

Never buying a 180 when petrol was 'cheap'!

I kinda regret getting rid of my mk1 120 in trophy blue S much as I love my 180 I still feel sad when I look at a picture of the old car what I would say is my biggest regret is that I waited to long to learn to drive I should have done it when I was 17 instead of 21 .

Getting rid of the BRM and not waiting for the right ZS I'm still not feeling this TB :(

Interesting you saying that Sam, I really thought you had made the right decision due to the requirements for everyday life. It's good to hear that former owners always miss them and come back, just shows what a great car they really are. On paper they are not much to write about but when driven you get a totally different view on it.

As for previous selling mistakes, yes I've had plenty and those that stick out the most was my HSX Chevette and my Vauxhall Firenza, both worth a bit now. That's the reason why I still have the ZS after nearly 7 years as I would regret it if I sold it.

Is there a limit ?

Off the top of my head - selling my Black Mk1 saloon for the Red Mk2 hatch. Just wasn't the same. I saw the Red - alcantara interior - and just thought yep - got to have it.

But, when I got it home and looked at the two of them, I just wanted to keep the Mk1. It just felt more - me. But, the Mk2 was bought and paid for and the Mk1 sold to a nice chap who's on here now and again and when he came for it and drove it away I was honestly - sad.

Over a chunk of metal - Go figure that out .....

That's a very nice example in your ebay link.

They are down to daft money.

Been watching a few and have just passed this..180


As my other thread I to want a mk2.

Ive come to the conclusion the mk2 is better looking with a newer reg but the mk1 is better built

Mk1 build with mk2 mods ftw.

Ahem... My Mk1 180 with the MK2 mods, used to get loads of talk at work... everyone at work were shocked when I got rid of it, they all liked it.

I think the XPower Duel exit exhausts were exceptionally good when mixed with the BMC for noise and looks :)

TBH with everything thats going on in my life (family issues etc) I miss having something that was my "slice of luxury" - still really should pay off the credit cards before buying another...

Now if I could get £5k for the tourer.... ;) lol

Well its either that or I go buy myself a 650 Bandit... or maybe a VFR800... or... lmao
