Here's my MGs over the years.
My first MG was a Trophy Blue ZS180. I bought this new in December 2002. It was only one week old when the picture was taken.
Over the 2 years I had her, I did loads of breathing mods. Exhaust, enclosed intake, sports cat and a remap.
Ownership wasn't without its problems though.
The car suffered a HP PS pipe failure at 71, yes 71 miles. This sprayed PS fluid everywhere. The 180 was returned to the dealer, curtsey of the AA. The dealer fixed the pipe and steam cleaned the engine.
Well from that point on, the car was plagued with electronic gremlins. I think over the 2 years I had her, she went to the dealer 21 times. It was always a battle with them because I had played with her.
After 2 years and lots of pressure from the wife, I sold her on.
She's still on the road, I see her now and again.
Next there was a 7 year MG frer gap.
I February 2011 I bought an X Power Grey ZS180. This had already been treated to breathing mods so went well enough. I did make my own Sheddist clutch kit for it though. It was lovely to drive a ZS again, especially after a run of family friendly 4X4's
I then found I needed more space so replaced her with a Freelander, KV6 powered of course.

Then in February this year, my wife came home with a sorry looking VVC MGF.
Thus I've another MG and project to play with.
