Team Red:
600 LT is with Autobright at the moment having some new products trialled on it.
Looking forward to seeing it later.
While you lot are driving about in your fancy Porsches, McLarens and Skylines, I cruise the streets in this bad boy...
Beautiful scenery, shame someone had to park a knackered old MG in the way!
230,000 miles now and still drives incredibly well. It's well looked after, serviced regularly and overall has been very reliable! I do about 25k a year and while I am itching to move into something like an F11 530d Touring, it just doesn't make any sense while the MG is running as well as it is.
I keep setting myself targets as to when I'll change cars but with ULEZ this and EV that... I'm just going to hang on for as long as I can. I have 300k miles in my sights.
Bit dirty in this picture but I do want to give it a full machine polish and have the wheels refurbed. It's a little bit tatty in places but I think is wearing its age and mileage very well. It's been a cracking car and will be a sad day when I inevitably have to say goodbye.
Oh it's even better that that Acme.... not only is it a diesel... it's also an autoi'm praying it a V6 and not a diesel, but its a diesel isn't it...
The two things that I used to absolutely detest, I now could not be without. I didn't specifically set out to get a car of this spec, I just wanted a 2nd car to keep the miles off my Impreza and a good friend was selling this ZT at the right time. For the mileage and driving I do, the autobox is definitely a big plus point and certainly preferable for my use. It's been remapped, so is up from the standard 114bhp to around 160. I've fitted V6 brakes all round (a decent increase of 282mm > 325mm on the front) and it's running Eagle F1 AS5s so it's actually not as dull to drive as you'd think.

I do have other cars though, including a couple of petrol turbo manual hoon machines so can get away with the mundane slushboxed devil fueled daily driver!
It's not as bad as it sounds though, I promise
I would love to try out a ZT190 manual (I nearly bought a cheap ZT260 years ago but chickened out) but the placement of the clutch slave cylinder scares me! Being a Rover 400 fanboy, I'd have a ZS180 in a heartbeat, but haven't got the space for another car. Something would have to go to make room, and I'm not sure what.
Drunken posting in Sports Arena?Yes although no time to enjoy it as I have a bouncy castle to setup in the back garden for my sons 4th birthday and will be drinking beer to drown out the sounds of yelling kids so will not get a proper drive till tomorrow
and most of the ones on sale in the UK have rotting out chassis anyhow - people tend to keep hold of them if they've maintained the chassis

Hi i love my pathfinder it’s manual and chipped to 250hp,the chassis is like new I paid 7k for it it was a right off but only needed two doors,managed to get them same colour from the scrapyard.it’s a bit of a weird one as it’s 13 plate it’s got hid lights and all the bells and whistles.I brought it because I live in Spain most of the time and 4x4s are double the cost over here,I tried to get my Navara onto Spanish plates but they changed the law so you couldn’t import a commercial vehicle that’s why I got it.I really want a Pathfinder but they didn't do it with the V9X engine in the UK
To be fair the later Navara and pathfinder’s they addressed the problem plus they recalled them all to get them checked.Or simply because they haven't rusted in half yet.
