The December

car of the month discussion thread.

This month's entry is a thumping great ZT 260 muscle car story courtesy of stevestrat.

Many thanks for submitting the article Steve, it's always nice to see a V8 featured

Well done, good looking cars, and I am envious of the fact you have a V8.
I have been in a 75 V8, and am certainly impressed with the performance. An MG version would be even better I guess!
I hope you can get to your events soon to show off your car again.

Great story. Totally agree with not wrapping up a V8. Built to be used.

Thanks Graham. The last event I was at was the Scottish National in June. I was really chuffed when she was voted best ZT but little did I know that hours later I would be in hospital! There were a number of events lined up after the Scottish but had to miss them all.

My wife has never taken that much of an interest in cars but first time in the V8 I got "Oh, I like this!"

Nice write up. Your right, you only live once, so why not treat yourself
Nice to see the V8 driven year round, and look forward to seeing the car at a future meet next year maybe

Gorgeous car and a good write up.
I totally agree that cars should be driven and not moth balled in a garage as it's such a waste.
Get out and drive them, weather permitting of course!
