I'm Richard Porter and Johnny Smith and this is on the other side of things the Smith and

Sniff spin-off in which we answer your questions.

Yes it's another Otilot for a Friday answering your questions.

Sounds like a house robot or from robot wars.

Otil! So it's a Otilot. was. No I am right that's it we get a big for us smash each other with chisels

Rich Long is a listener who sent us a question he sent some pictures in fact

which is entitled this is my beloved shitbox I bloody love

it is a M. G ZS okay the facelifted one. It's a saloon. Yes. Oh four plate so it's some it's quite a late

car as well. But his question is why doesn't anybody ever talk about them?

Is it because they were made in England?

I've owned it for nine years now.

Do you prefer the Mark 1 on Mark 2?

My one drives so smoothly.

I know it's just a rover but I bloody love it. Well I love that he

wants to talk about them. Yeah I love it I love anyone that really loves a car

and is properly into it especially in a lesser, rare but nobody cares type of thing.

So well done for a start for keeping the legend alive as it were.

Yeah, it's a funny one isn't it because they were way better than the sum of their parts.

They were genuinely of those MGZ cars. I remember when they came out that the Z-R was really good fun in a sort of little

kind of scrappy, hot-atchy sort of way. Youth market way. The ZT was impressive because it felt sort of quite grown up but with a kind of

raggedy sight particularly the early ones had quite a hard ride and you really had to rev that engine

and then they sort of soften things off a little bit but they still had a good spirit.
