A History of ZS

Hi all

I've been lurking on here for a couple of months now and thought it was time I introduced myself.

Back in 2007 I picked up my first MG ZS 180. I preferred the ZR but because of the UK's backwards insurance rules, it was **** loads more expensive to insure a ZR 160 than a ZS 180. So I got this:



Got rid of the peashooter and got a Janspeed cat and back-box which sounded ******* awesome once at temperature.



Had a moment of madness and got this. Hated it. Sold it.



Then, late last year someone went into the back of the MG and wrote it off. With the insurance money I picked this up (from a member on here) with change to boot.



Didn't really like it at first. The lowering isn't to my taste and the exhaust sticks out a bit, but after not using it for my daily commute it has really started to grow on me.

Apologies for picture size - I hope they resize once I post...

Welcome ....

If the suspension you have doesn't suit, no doubt there may be someone here who might swap with you ...

Hi and welcome.

I'm pleased I'm not alone in preferring Austin/Rover/MG products over VW/Audi, some awesome spec cars but no soul.

Cheers chaps. I may look to swap the suspension at a later date but it'll do for now.

James, I totally agree with you about VW/Audi stuff. I got a lot of comments about the car, the main one being "nice car" and that's all it was....a nice car.
