Interesting facts about the ZS please!

I'm thinking about showing my car at the Cranleigh Classic Car Show this Sunday (assuming they agree it's a classic and let me in!) but for the entry form I need an interesting/unusual fact about the ZS.

I'm kinda stumped to be honest. It's a green 2002 180 if that helps. Any ideas people...?

GLOL! I can just imagine the commentary now...

"Aaaaand on the left here we have an immaculately presented MG ZS180 Hatch, which, according to its proud owner, is the awesomest!"

Brands Hatch used to use them for their track cars. Road going version of the race winning BTCC MG ZS. Originally code named X20 prior to becoming a ZS.
