what's he buying?.. some kind of saloon i presume?

yes, with doors, seating areas and lights and stuff

Turns out I can use it from work (still no joy from home sadly) but it usually takes me an hour to post a message because of WebNonSense so I give up.

However in this case I'm make and exception as the man with increasing chins has taken it upon himself to call my car an "old mans car".  Frankly, from sensible diesel Focus boy I find that astonishing, even more so with his habit of turning on ALL THE FOG LIGHTS ON HIS CAR in a slight drizzle.

Anyhew, I've bought an MG ZT 2.5 V6 190+ ... snappy name I know.  It's quick and it drinks petrol like a dying camel at an oasis.  Still, it's a good giggle round the lanes and the likes, especially given that it's recorded weight is 2040 kg.   Which is, in modern money, half a SteadmanEgo.

I expect JDK will like it as he has taste.  Stead, however, will from now on be confined to the boot.

 

Bee hatch.

The only real exception being that mine is red, otherwise ... yes, yes it does.

When space is a basic requirement, my friend, ones choices are a smidge limited if one desires performance as well but is faced with a rather too limited budget.

It is a 75 in chassis alone, all else has been tweaked.  I suspect the engines are of similar breeding however, but since they were out sourced fcuketh it.

Honestly .. being lectured on car choice by a man who VOLUNTARILY bought a Micra last time.  That's like Robert Mugabi telling you that violence is bad, m'kay.

I have no idea what either of those cars are, but the one pictured looks nice... not an oldman car at all

Mine was a one off micra built by Knight Industries - it talked and everything... honest

 

And my chin is better now thanks for asking -

 

And I started this thread to take the mickey out of hengle - stop turning on me!

 

That is all

I was out with the bearded one yesterday - and he mentioned he cant log on to the board anymore - it lets him sign in but then makes him do it again when he posts a reply.   Any thoughts anyone?

Has he checked his cookies? If he has them turned off, the board won't save his login and keep asking him to re-login.

Rover ZTs ahem 75s aren't that bad. Just please in the name of all that is good and pure tell me you didn't pay full price

For my sins I drove a 75 and quite liked it. 3 litre diesel was a bit of a laugh in sport mode. Now back to my french car that's not even made of metal in some places.
