I'm with you on the S Type too. I like the quirky looks. Quote
steve_b Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Could have sold you a Astra for a grand, which I paid 2 for and only done 500 miles on it. Quote
Kev946 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Could have sold you a Astra for a grand, which I paid 2 for and only done 500 miles on it. What is it Steve. I can ask around for you. Quote
lomoto Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Could have sold you a Astra for a grand, which I paid 2 for and only done 500 miles on it. Thanks Steve, but I do like an biggish car coupled with auto box as I said previously when not in a sporty car I just like to waft along Quote
steve_b Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 just a T reg Astra 1.8 sport, 60k ish I think. Been parked on my drive for a couple of months as I only got it to cover me when Zed was in for new hub carrier. Should just bang it back on ebay. Not great but seems good for price, ideal as some ones first car. Quote

I'll ask him though. Quote
Digsy Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Not bad, Tim but the V8 would have been better. I did consider a ZT-T as a winter car/load carrier. Quote
Sarnie Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I did consider a ZT-T as a winter car/load carrier. I thought you had taste Quote
sl114 Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Nothing wrong with a ZT dude, its a good solid car, the ZT-T is horrible though Quote
lomoto Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Not bad, Tim but the V8 would have been better. I did consider a ZT-T as a winter car/load carrier. looked at those Digsy..but had just a certain amount of throwaway money and unfortunately the 260 V8 seems to be a bit of a cult thing now,I think it has the Mustang engine in it Quote

The Rover V8 died long ago. Quote

ir_fuel Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Well guessed Sarnie! ...inside info??? Low mileage!, as long as your happy with it I just knew it. Vaguely remember Tim mentioning a Rover previously This more your style?..... Quote
lomoto Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Sorry to resurrect an old post , but you were all correct .. The MG Zt turned out to be a pile off Poo.., despite only having done small mileage (15k miles ) the bloody thing refused to start on numerous occasions and let me down (Thank God for RAC recovery ) Luckily I bought from a reputable dealer and he has given me a full refund for the car (less a mileage allowance ) even though I have had the car for 5 months So on the lookout again with cash burning a hole Quote
