Gonk Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 @gshaw I used to work for the local MG Rover Dealer, the 25/ZR was a cracking little car, especially with the 1.8 VVC engine At one time (a long time ago) the 25/ZR it was rated in a JD Power servey as being 95% reliable! (The car at this time was nye on ten years old so all the issues had pretty much been fixed, so they never seemed to break down!) Anyhow, I digress. I might have some MG Floor Mats hanging about in the garage at home so If I can find them do you want them??? They're grey I think... Ross
Gonk Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Currently drive a convertible mini cooper s john cooper works, 225bhp.....thinking of trading in for another supra or skyline! I recently chopped in my Golf GT Sport Diesel for a Mini Cooper Diesel Clubman. I like the Mini, Its a damn sight more fun than the Golf and cheaper too with £35 to tax I have to admit tho I miss the Mazda RX-8 I used to own

crc-ict Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Used to drive a Clio, but recently treated myself to a lovely Megane Cabriolet It's great - 1.9 Diesel with 130bhp, yet manages 48mpg (real life use) and will do 400 miles commuting on country roads and in town on less than £40 worth of diesel. And the 6 speed gearbox lets you cruise at 60-70 while pulling less than 2000rpm on the engine. Smoooth! Never had a diesel before this one, but certainly won't be the last. They don't have to be sluggish when you get the hang of how to handle them! And being able to pop the roof down as soon as the sun shows itself is great!
Midnight Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 Woohoo Sunny Sunny Sunny!! Top down, Kajagoogoo on the tape it must be the weekend?!!!!!
Sirbendy Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Wow you have a Meastro. Did have..in fact I had 2.. One rotted past salvageability and became a spares car, the white one was my much loved and modified 1.6LX Auto, with Wheelchair hoists, electric windows/mirrors/tilt/slide roof etc, big alternator, digidash conversion with voice synth and wood trim. Bloody lovely motor. Loads of room, simple to fix, went well and handled better than either Astra did/does. The bad point common to all was cr@p steel and rustproofing..they all rot to nothing. Every summer I stripped and rebuilt it, repainted etc..still came back. In the end I gave it to a fellow club member, and it went off in a convoy of 5 Maestros to a total restoration. Too good to scrap it, too much bodywork needed versus time available for me to dedicate. Still miss it now after 6 years. Kept the dash, mind. Too rare and 80's special to trust to fate.. http://sirbendy.jemjabella.co.uk/images/cars/digidash.gif
