    Tyres - depends what tyres and how you drive, I bought mine to drive, and I drive it pretty hard when I do, so it gets through tyres (Toyo, Vredstein, and Hangkook) at a fair rate, others have used the likes of Federals (and may not push as hard) and they last a lot longer

    BRUNTINGTHORPE - YES YES YES

    Cheers Colin, hopefully once we've got one I'll be on here more too as am I right in saying that there's more to see as an owner?

    That's interesting as we've been a user of Federals on our other cars for a good few years, infact I rated them more than the Potenza's I had on my ZT-T.

    Regarding Bruntingthorpe, been talking with Woolleysox so watch this space. However the last e-mail I had with the owner stated that anything we did would have to be on a Friday afternoon which I appreciate might be problematic!

    Best,

    Jake

    Hi Jake, great to see you're finally looking towards the "proper end" of the MG's mate, oil squashers just don't cut it seriously though, good luck in the hunt for one, I'll keep my eyes open for you whilst on my travels. Best regards to you & Dad

    Hi John,

    Good to hear from you, it has been too long -you're right the oil squashers don't cut it. If you hear anything coming up for grabs do let me know, not averse to a do-er upper if the price is right! :-)

    Best,

    Jake

    Nice one Jake you know it makes sense & I'm quite sure your old man took no talking round

    I sold my Royal Blue ZT-T a few weeks ago. I see today that it is up for sale again which is all a bit strange. Link here:

    http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...1500?logcode=p

    Unless something horrible has happened, it is a great car, one owner prior to myself and serviced every 5000 miles from new. Hope it may be of interest.
    Hi Jules,

    Yes i remember you putting the pictures of yours up on the Community! What did you end up replacing her with in the end? Safe it to say it was and still is my dream car, with that spec and colour. I hadn't realised the one on autotrader was your old one but I think that's a great price. Going to aim to get our M5 on ebay tomorrow, but unless it does wonders we'll still have some saving to do on top for something like that.

    Haha, I think a florr plan is a little too much work, even for us mate! :-)
