my Volvo C30 D5 R Design. Mapped, bigger intercooler with K&N filter and uprated brakes. Also extra chassis bracing at the rear.
She's running approx 240bhp and 400nm @ 2,000 rpm.

Looks like fun, my daily is a Alfa Romeo 159 3.2 V6 with a standard 260 bhp and a Q4 gearbox.

The yellow ZS in my signature is sadly long gone and the Maestro which has a Rover T16 tubby lump is waiting for some love.

The 159’s look really good. That V6 will sound nice. I had a ZT 190 V6 and loved the noise it made. There was a Maestro Turbo at Pride of Longbridge this year, I couldn’t stop staring at it haha.

I love a good V6, I've had a phase 2 Espace 2.9 V6 (given to me), 2 MGZS180's and now the Alfa, not to mention the V8 Range Rover we had for a while.


My maestro started as a 2.0i but I had the T16 put in it although I am considering swapping in the KV6 that came out of the yellow one below.

You have to do the KV6 swap!!!!! That would be something special indeed. We had a L322 Range Rover for a year and a half, it had the BMW M62 V8 and it was so nice. We never had any problems with it either. I was tempted for a ZS 180 but my heart was in a TF because in my mind it was the last MG to be made at Longbridge. Makes me sad to think about it all tbh.

80th Anniversary TF 160 as a summer car / toy,
MG3 as a daily commuter
And this as a weekender:

Nice fleet! We need all these cars before all the petrol runs out haha
