When i'm gonna poop.....i make damn sure i know when its comming.
Do you have plastic seat coveres?
Least the Clio got the advantage its the easier car to live with I suppose. I know French don't like to wire and dealers don't like warently work often but hey were talking about Rover here I wouldn't go making a big deal.
The K series does do well in racing but then again the land speed record isn't 100 mph any more.
I realy like you you've brigthened up the forum though would you do a regular forum post ever day?
I'm just off to see what time the MG gets vs the CLio round a track I'm sure I've got it if I find it I'll post even if our warentied French rust boxes didn't win.
Didn't the MG ZS use the BMW diesel engine in the end?
Think you will find it is most variations of the K series engine mate. You really know your rovers i will give you that :S
Not so much on the underperforming heavy V6 tho....
......Little thought, where does the MG come on the topgear powerlap tables? Best time round the Ring?
2nd thoughts why i am bothered, its sad to even engage in this disscussion (not as sad as registering on another forum to enter into a discussion, granted. But sad all the same)
Mustang, S13, AX GT
heh, when it comes to blows though, clio wins on build quality:
Which is pretty shocking for 'the best of british'...
Was a touch bored so just had a quick look on a website, just incase you have been deluding yourself for a while. Below are the stats. Hairdressers car maybe, great at shopping also true. Fact is tho its faster on paper than your V6 and also highly acclaimed in all the motoring press which is FAR more than MG ever have had of late. There is a reason that if they make MG again it will only be the TF

what sort of price are we looking at for the secret setup, looking to get sum work done but dntknow what to get done and or how much it will cost, got a bogo engined cup
Its not 'cheap' as its a total replacement system, significantly more than the modified inlet.
PLug and play options wont get close to £3000.
Without prejudice.
Can i really answer that without having several books thrown at me?

ben do you want a trophy as a test car (as long as you dont blow it up as i've had 3 engines blow up in my bmw mini dont fancy this one going pop too)
Testing is a touchy subject.
In its essence, it would be the loan of a car to carry out development, however since parts are not free........you would be without the car for a while, then have it returned in stock conditions. Which to most would seem highly pointless.
At most the items could be offered at cost price, or an arranged loan period where you had fun with the kit.
Were not a large outfit so we cant really afford to sling free kit all over the shop, i'm already stretched to my limits at the moment with comissioning this entirely on our own back.

Its not really about cost, its putting it on the right car to get the right publicity.
Putting it on a car that hangs about round maccy d's every friday - saturday night wont drag up as much publicity as a show car getting into features etc..
I see eBay shop coming up..
