Just a little post to let you all know that the supercharged beastie has gone to a new home.

I decided towards the end of last year that it was time to move on, but it still wasn't easy to see someone drive it away.

My new car is an MG ZS 180, which is a 4 door saloon, 180bhp from a lovely 2.5 litre V6. It has a great feature of a variable length intake manifold, which comes into play at 3000rpm when you get an extra kick.
It has full leather sports seats, climate control and 17's as standard and was registered in Sept '04 which makes it 9 months old.
Its great to drive and the handling is also good, its nice to drive a car thats got power and handling without fiddling with anything smile.gif

I presume that you don't get MG's in the States, so I've put some pics of it below.

I will still be running the UK Hyundai Coupe Site and Forums.

Take Care

Nice MG. We used to import them a lot decades ago, but I don't think so anymore.

Very sexy looking car, and the specs sound impressive as well.
