abatically: It is definitely the MG F (first generation).There are two engines available, the 1.8i K-series 1796cc 16v and the 1.8i VVC (Variable Valve Control). The power figures are 120HP and 145HP respectively which give a 0-60 time of 8.5 (1.8i) and 7.0 (VVC) seconds. bro, thanks For the effort. But how did you research this? Btw, I thought it would have faster take-off times, this is very poor for a car with such looks. No turbo?, not a V6?, but with a decorative double exhaust. Not good at all. |

I came across this ride today, parked close to my office and got interested, its got its engine between its boot and rear seat...owner knows its an MG rover but nothing else. Can anybody help break down the rides power plant? I love its sleek shape though, but as Rover is now defunct would it still be a good buy? Not that am buying anyways.

aniexyz: don't mind them, they don't know how hard growing and maintaining this thick African hair is. the pain u experience in combing alone is hell. so because your hair is thick and difficult to comb(when due for retouching) means you must buy Brazilian hair to augment it? No decent artificial hair extensions? The point of this thread is not to discuss the usage of hair extensions, but the level of Vanity and mediocrity expressed by doling out large chunks of cash(esp in this clime) just to have another persons hair on your head, which might even not be human hair but, animal coverings. |

sweettease: The funniest thing here is that, I didn't even mention anything about me using expensive hair extensions or even using it at all. Anyway, I've tried the natural virgin hair and it was more expensive to maintain trying to make it look presentable than what I'm even spending now that I have a relaxed hair, braid from time to time and use extentions once in a while. What's more, it's less bushy, I don't have to struggle to make it look presentable and I have more time for work, chores, reading and so many other things. That's Good ma'am! Am not averse to ladies using extensions, but making it a mandatory Brazilian or peruvian hair is what I think is so shallow as to be repugnant. Those extensions are quite costly, esp with the sliding economic situation on Naija. |

DonaldGenes: But why evil?
A question comes to mind; does google have the right or sole right to take down anyone's Site when Google itself is also a website just like any other site?
Can they take down Yahoo or Wikipedia?
I don't just get it! Who is in-charge of Hosting all the sites in this world? Not really, I think they won't direct people to Linda's blog when people search for articles that are on her blog, and because google is the largest search engine available, this massively reduces traffick to her site. Without traffick to her site, most businesses advertising or campaigning there would pullout of any business with the site, then her profits come crumbling. I believe this is what will happen if she doesn't get google to reverse its move against her blog. |

timawoku: dunno? The society sucks!!! So you would rather your wife cheats on you? Would you take her back and touch are like prior to her infidelty? The Society doesn't suck! It takes a whole lot of hardly reversible emotional changes and connections. For a woman to cheat, whereas infidelity is often a surface, non emotional activity for most men. |
