Finally got my ZS Mk2 180!
After posting in the new members section a couple of weeks back whilst waiting for the other owners private plate to come off ive finally got the ZS 180. Thanks again to all who said hi in the welcome bit!
Details on the car its an 04 Mk2 ZS saloon without the big wing on the back, in X power grey, single owner from new who is now 65, garaged all its life with full history and has done 57k miles.
First impressions - as id read about them really, ride is rock hard, but the steering is pin sharp, probably about the best and most direct steering of any car ive driven. Nice torquey engine, have not really gone past about 3k rpm yet as not using it everyday yet so wont be using it much until sell one of the other cars.
Seems a nice addition to the fleet, few plans for it but will wait to next year before start messing!
Will get some pics up probably Friday this week as thats my only day off.

Haha im sure, it feels quite happy in the low end of the rev range, or maybes its just me being used to driving diesels everyday and not revving them!!

The car has a couple of vis motors pal that create a surge of power. You should feel an extra kick .... Go do it .....

The car doesnt even come alive until after 3k revs. Get that foot down!!
And the big spoiler adds a good bit of downforce on the back!
