Bloody ridiculous... a couple of friends owned ZR/Rover 1.4's at the same time I had my 360 glt's and had more problems with them (they were both under 5yrs old) than I had with my car! I gather you'll be going elsewhere for your paint nowdays :lol:

Hi lads.
I once had a Ford escort,10 years old,looked like new with only 15000 miles on the clock.
I found out after i bought it why it had such low milage.
The bloody thing would never start in order to go anywhere. :lol:
I ran out of people to ask for a jump start or a tow. :lol:
I was never so glad to see the back of a car in my life.
Cheers Mark. sm4

I actually washed and polished mine on Thursday, the 1st time in atleast 7months.

Needed petrol went to the local Tesco forgetting Thur is boyracer night round these parts.

As i was filling it up they came over and swarmed it, "can i marry your car" "i love it" etc which suprised me. Just goes to show they do have taste they just keep it hidden deep down under shitty bodykits and bigbore exhausts :lol:

People can't explain why they suddenly like something so they choose the emotion close to love - hate. I'd leave these sheeple alone, they will never understand. Just ask him next time which car Top Gear magazine has told him to buy next :lol:

Headgasket on the ZR.. My bro had one, he put an Aluminium Racing gasket on it after the third one blew 8) - it was lowered and had adjustable konis, probably the only reliable ZR....

nice choice in wheels, do you get any clearance issues on the front with the mini wheels? as they have a pretty high offset
