Good story, I too was a Vauxhall nut previous to the MG. Having been a follower since the early 80's with Viva's, Firenzas, Magnum's, HSX Chevette and prior to the ZS a V6 Calibra, I also have a few Total Vauxhalls to my name
The ZS180 was a car I liked since its launch and had the opportunity to purchase one when I wasn't actively looking for one, fate as it were
it is here to stay and I can honestly say I may never sell it.
