Thought I would kick this one off

I think we may have had this listed before but time for an update?

My MG ZT-T CDTi auto with serious remap'd BMW Diesel 2.0 now nearer 180 bhp and still 40 mpg- owned since new in 2004 and now with 86k miles with no faults- currently running on winter tyres on those "granny 15 Rover wheels". Sprang a fairly serious fuel leak yesterday- so dropped off at local garage today.

And the 2010 Nissan Tank Pathfinder recently bought- we have done 56k in only 2 years in this! These do most of the daily tripping between countries! (Isle of Man , Highlands of Scotland , England and formally France as well)

Image

Our daily drivers seem so boring now- but it wasn't always thus:

between 1994 and 2004 when I bought the MGZT-T my daily driver was my 1991 Hartge H26 (still owned- recommissioned last year after being laid up in my barn)

My most interesting daily so far though was the jap import Mitsubishi VR4 legnum of which I had 2 over a 5 year period (but fuel cost were crazy for the mileage I was doing, so had to get a diesel :( ) Was fun though - twin turbo 2.5 V6 with 280+ bhp, 4 wheel drive, Evo suspension and brakes. Did quite a few hoons and track days in this car and it was great..
First black one

2nd white one - pic not mime, but looked exactly the same
Image

Flogging the Bimmer soon though - smaller fast VAG diesel maybe.. (Golf TDI GT, Seat FR, Re-mapped A3 etc.. )

Hartge starred in this year's Manx Classic after ECU blew on the Alpina

still going strong after all these years!

I should probably update everyone with our 2013 Manx Classic Report (even if it did not feature any Camaros?)
