Wudnt agree - the rover 1.4 is a fantastic engine - 105bhp - few other 1.4's have 105 as std ( I used 2 have a 25 shape 200 til the engine blew up (slight contradiction but speed-wise they r decent) and the power is similar 2 that of many 1.6's

Pff, dunno what model, but theres a really nice Yellow Rover (middle sized one, saloon stlye), twin exhaust, nice rims, lowered. Looks and sounds really nice.
Plus the one mentioned above, 0-60, very similar to 2.0 corsa, but i think the corsa will get to 100mph faster. Top ends around 135mph isn't it, also around 2.0 corsa speed.
I dont think they look too bad, middle 20's drivers trying to look cool admittedly, but the few around here are looking alright. The smaller ones (1.4, 1.8, 1.8 V6 one  ) round here have exhaust, new rear lights, lowered, alloys etc and they look pretty funky

Both handle very well and both look very sexual.

mate had one and my corsa could pish over him, i know they were both 1.4 16v but he had the more power , but he had more weight.

I've driven the 120 ZR and was impressed with the handling and performance, they are quick, but would never buy one, they are so dated inside and made for old ppl!
And no joking, the person waiting to test drive a 105 ZR while i was there was an 70 year old women with hair sprouting out of her face all over!
that says it all

I think they are just dull now, they were cool when they first came out, but 95% of them are std and look like combat kitted corsa's.

I no what you mean, they turn heads, but once you have looked you say to yourself,
"that looks exactly like the other 150,000 MG ZR's ive seen and they bore me"

The MGZR 160 is very fast for a 1.8 16v
Yes, I heard one at full chat a while ago. It sounded amazin.
K-Series isn't exactly cutting edge anymore tho.

There is a temp at work with a blue 106, standard steelies and bodywork, with a massive shopping trolley styleeeee spoiler, lexus lights and stick on headlight covers. Me and my work colleagues stood outside and pissed ourselves with laughter looking at it. A Zest 1.1 is the shed to have in Welham Green these days.

I also remember this fella down my street who i took for a spin around the block in my corsa when i first got it, he kept asking me what k-series engine it had. He now has a Polo on standard rims and massive XTREME sticker in back window.
