Not bad for a car nearly 14 years old!

And people wonder why we love 75s and ZTs

Sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you guys at Gretna, but ZT still off the road and it would have been a bit of a trek in the wee Dax kit car....

So had a lazy day instead being a couch potato watching Superbikes, The Open and Top Gear instead

Hope to be at Queensferry at the end of the month

Cheers

Robert

It's surprising how economical the N/A 1.8 is. MY ZT-T 120 regularly does 42mpg on a steady run. You're well in to CDT territory with that MPG.
