He uses a Mk3 Rover 200 now with jacked up rear end and Rock hard suspension - The only way to almost eliminate weight transfer.

Weight transfer really aint a problem, keeping your fillings in is
Ouch...Complete overkill on a light-weight track car, no?

I had 4 of them over the years i loved em to bits, literally. Owned a 1.3, 1.6HLS 1.6L and a 2L EFI MG but not the Tubbo. Always wanted one. But my MG had the digi and voice dash. That was funny. If i could find one in good nick i would have one as a second car today.
Looks a fast motor! I had a Maestro, H Reg 1.3 Clubman in Targa red and I loved it 
. I put MG alloys on it, and I thought it was surprisingly fast for a 1.3OHV A-series.
A Mate of mine from years ago had an MG Maestro which was quick, but the quickest MG Turbo I drove was the Montego version. I never got to drive a Maestro turbo.

They were always the fastest of the old MGs
Another example:
Ok, Ok, stop bragging..
I think you may be overstepping your posting privileges by posting sexy pictures on OCUK. Stick to RT for that sonny...
Guess who ?
Great, another balding Rovertech'r joins us! 
That Maestro is fantastic. Looks like it could do with a bit of patching up, but I guess it's going to get tatty being a track car. I like the centre exit exhaust. Needs to be bigger and make more noise though.
Nice Rover in the background. Reminds me of my old one. Guessing it's a 214 by the grey trim.
Found out today that two people in the building where I work have owned MG Metro Turbo's!
Lucky people!
