so heres the story of how it came to be mine lol

Thursday morning i woke up and decided that the ZS180 had to go after driving 200 miles and using ?40 of fuel and that i just couldnt afford it no more

I updated the post on here and had a swap offer from a member on here but unfortunatley his car was on finance so i was not able to do the deal

Then i had another offer of a swap but the guys in questions car was needing a HG replacement very soon so i was not wanting the work at all

Then Dan1971 Sent Me A PM telling me about the car and to send the guy an email because he;d sed he wanted a ZS180 MK2 and was prepared to do a swap so i did with some piccys of mine...I never expected anything back because of the damage to the bumper and the cambelts needing doing ETC ETC

I got a reply the same evening asking me to contact him.. i did and we arranged to meet up the next day........he went out in mine loved it i went out in his and thought its ok for what i need now and how bloody well looked after it was

we chatted for about 45 mins about it and i went off thinking i had no chance
bcus mine was filthy inside and out and it looked as if it was used as a rally car

But......just as id planned to set to cleaning it up he rang and said ok if you clean it up change the wheels over as his had 19's on (Didnt Want Anyways) and change the interior over (he didnt want my blue interior and he wanted his own back) Fair Enough i thought andi snapped his hand off

We arranged to do the work the next day...Sunday arrived Work was done

Forgot to take spriggot ring of hub causing a days panic

But everything is Fine And Dandy now and i love it

just struggling get used to the new clutch as its different and the biting point is on the floor getting theyre though

Well here it is
