Members jumping ship, New cars and the fate of the 75/ZT - Page 18

Run my 190 every day and love it. Im no mechanic but i can do most basic jobs so I quite enjoy the tinkering these cars do need.

That said, I personally have to date weighed in 3 ZTs... one with catastrophic engine failure, one with serious lacquer peel and no clutch, and a 180k CDTi that seemed to have a new fault every day.

To me, there is no other car at this sort of money to touch them, they're fantastic machines and currently dirt cheap. In years to come ive no doubt i wont be able to afford one as given 20 years I think they'll be seriously collectible.
