Arrow Clarkson Reviews the MG-ZT 260 V8 on You Tube

I've just added this to You Tube for those who haven't seen it before.

Regardless of what you might think of Mr.Clarkson's comments, it does make entertaining viewing :lol:

A lovely piece of automotive viewing pleasure. Nothing like seeing a ZT260 going sideways :lol:

Except when it happens unintentionally like when someone pulls out in front of you and you give it lots of left hand lock to nip down the side road to steer around them whilst hoping the ABS will do what it was designed to only to find the back end has other ideas

It woke my kids up anyway

Curiously, I just did a reg plate check for this 260, and according to DVLA, it is now BLACK in colour !!!, but still on the road though.

Why the colour change I wonder?

Clarkson despite all his neg comments about the 260 kept it for longer than any other car he's tested & covered quite a few 1000 miles in it!!

Hypocrite or what?

My 260 ownership has quite a way yet to catch up to my 15 year love affair with ye olde Triumph Stag :lol:
