As a newbie I will try and make it (I hope I can) as I would like to meet fellow sufferers of 75 love and I will probably pick a few brains also. But how do I recognise you all? What are the signs? Is it like a blind date - do I look for key fobs on the table (in fact that sounds more like an orgy!) or do I look for stereotypical old men who look slightly depressed! Either way I am looking forward to it already!

Rover Owners wear cardigans and have flat caps , us ZT owners wear shades (even indoors) and Elvis style jackets (turned up at the collars of course)

Happy New Year to All when it comes

Good point , i have always thought that some folk come into the HAWES and as we dont have it stamped on our forehead walk right back out again .LOL.

look for a waitress aged about 55 with a very long pigtail [hair] and ask her where the nutters who turn up once a month are . LOL.

failing that look for a table with about 8 folk [ gormless looking types] at it around about 7.30 .

That apart you could easily miss us

Hi

260 owners wear Shell, Texaco or BP jackets.....they are never away from petrol pumps!

Funny you should say that..my mum used to manage a filling station years ago and I used to help out there........so maybe it is a subconscious thing that made me buy a ZT260 so that I could again use the petrol pumps more often.......

....then again it may just be the deep thobbing engine, note and oodles of torque that swayed it (Morris Minor Owners won't know what I'm talking about!!)

My pal worked in a Shell garage around 1984 ish. Fine collection of crystal glasses and decanters our respective parents had!

I believe we are still using 2 of the original Esso set I got years ago!!

Also in the garage I still have one of the original green Castrol oil fillers (with the spout) which came from my filling station days
