Hi there, new to the forum and ZTs as well! My name's Anth and I'm a graphic designer by day and an artist by night. I've owned some meaty V8s over the years, the last one being a 58 Plymouth with a 7.2 motor, and after a couple of years off the scene I've narrowed the choice of new car for next year down to a 260 or a Monaro. The 260 won in the end because with a family I really need four doors, and it'll give me the best of both worlds. Thought I'd pop my head in, say hello and start doing some research! cheers, Anth

Welcome along - any questions please ask away and the collective will be more than happy to answer

Several owners are considering selling at the moment, so keep an eye on the for sale section

It's still a while off before I start looking seriously, got to clear some debt and save some pennies first! I'm in County Durham in the frozen north :)

I live in Bishop Auckland, not far from Darlo at all. And you're right, it's far too cold up here :)

Hi and welcome.

I'm no stranger to V8s either as you'll see from my current list below in my signature ;)

Thanks everyone! 2V8s, really like the sound of the Mustang and the Vette, particularly the Mustang!

yes its a lovely car. Currently without its front suspension as I cant help myself but try to make it perfect over the winter. Last year was the interior, this year front underbody. The corvette is part restored, havnt done anything on it for a couple of years though. Got to get the mustang back on the road in a month or two as I have a few wedding bookings this year :-)

NigeI'm up the week before but I'm not sure I'll have the time for a get together. Up for my now traditional Northern ride with my brother and his mates - York to Bridlington, to Saltburn, to Darlington.

My brother lives a mile or so from Croft track and until recently my sister used to live over the road. Grew up with the sound of bike racing - but that was a while ago now :(
