That’s what a girlfriend for, I don’t park I just get her to jump out but it always ends in disappointment and a bigger bill!

Did they not make a 260hp edition? Wish they put that engine in the ZS instead of the 180 HP lump!

I park like that too.

As for the Z series Rovers, don't write any of them off, very capable cars and cheap as chips to buy and run, also don't believe all the head gasket problems, it's usually the inlet manifold gasket or the water pump.

As for the ZS same chassis as the honda DC5.

My dad owned 1 for 2 years about 5 years ago got rid of just before I passed my diving test, but I spent about 2 months driving around learning in it!

It was actually a really good car, the sound from the V6 as well was sweet pretty damn rapid too!!

I can image the sound of that mustang lump!! Never seen or heard one though
