The MGs of the late 90s and 2000s are a different breed altogether. Unfortunately Rover and MG were having a tough time and it was a case of too little too late and no-one took them seriously until it was too late. Only now do people realise what a decent car the ZS is, but it is only those that have driven them know this, most will dismiss it as a tarted up Rover. The winners being us who have them and enjoy them. Granted it's no Audi, BMW or EVO, but then again why follow the herd? Get yourself a copy of the original sales brochures off ebay on the MG range, some interestng reading in there.

I couldn't agree more, now that I fully understand the concept. On the other hand, there's nothing that impresses me at audi's or BMW's of the time...
