I'm outvoted, my daughters have just said I'm not to sell the ZT.
I'm most intrigued to learn what Gaz is getting as the replacement, that's if there is even a contender. |

Your ZT Gaz is pristine, looks in far better condition than mine. My old girl is suffering from old paint now, this solar red paint is awful to look after. The roof and boot is fading to pink, and the passenger side front and rear doors have paint blisters smack-bang in the centre (this is the side that always gets full sun). The bonnet has what looks like small chickenpox (dimples) within the paint, every time I clean the old girl I see more and more paint defects popping up, we are fighting a losing battle it seems Gaz. |

Maybe you could get a decent cover? Mine has marks etc and a tiny patch of mico blisters on the bonnet. I just polish and no one but me seems to notice! Front bumper has lacquer peel so that will have to come off for paint at some point. I just soldier on. The cars are worth it. ☺

What would be the alternative? Surely its better to have a car you love and enjoy, even if it's dirty, than to have something you don't care about and don't enjoy?

Never thought I would see the day, then Dallas comes along and says he was thinking about it as well!!! Don't do it mate, you will never get one like her back. Can you buy one of those canvas garages? My brother in law had his P6 in one for years. Don't do it

Blooming heck Gaz, I didn't think you would do it you are a braver man than me.
What's her replacement going to be? Quote:
If I end up buying an old MGB or Midget, something pre-1979, I'm then going to review the situation. I was chatting to a fella this morning who is selling his 1974 MK2 Capri, to say I am tempted in an understatement... |
