I know the BTCC replica, should be at the show on sunday, but I got to it a day early. Here's pic of the Zed next to it.

you mean that crap road car covered in stickers with the wrong wheels and no wing?

poor excuse IMO

daytona365 · 07-07-12, 05:40 PM

Yep thats the one...............Sorry if its not the real thing, but its good enough for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

peterzs · 07-07-12, 07:26 PM

I meant the yellow one!!!!

I agree it looks cool but they could have done a proper job with wheels at a minimum, spoiler would have helped the race look and the bodykit would have wowed the crowds!

cos you can't drive it?

putting the right wheels on it and the right spoiler would have made all the difference, and it still would have been road legal

I was looking at the Honda Civic road car at Knockhill recently and it's a prefect replica of the car Shedden drives (well it sits a little high for the bodykit) until you look inside and it has an interior!

MG being cheap and cutting corners as usual

I dont know why everyones knocking it............Its good for an advertising car. Road legal.
Anyway some manufacturers dont bother at all. When I was at Citroen and they won the WRC, Citroen UK would supply a GENUINE WRC car, to show at your dealership. It was a REAL one, had to be trailered in. Was the teams spare. Looked awesome. Yet at my Ford garage, when Ford won, what did we get. A lifesize cardboard cutout of the two drivers!!!!!!

So at least the "naff" MG6 is a try. Who knows they may do a better one when they win the title.
