Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

In other news, I've bought an MG ZS 120, solely because it was cheap and had a new MOT. 0-60 in 9 seconds and it feels like a rocket ship compared to the Merc. Rather uncomfortable though. And I've been getting looks from the boy racers... ugh.

Sad news about the merc, although the ZS isn't such a bad choice!
Ride is a bit firm on them (the same applies to the ZR), and it's basically a rover 400, but I still think that the pre-facelift version was an ok looking car, and the K-series engines were relatively reliable excluding the headgasket issues of course..

They were also a good laugh to watch at BTCC back in the day!
