Hello, everyone, and thanks to Steve for his hospitality today. Picking it up next weekend, assuming favourable weather conditions, and then I can start enjoying it like the rest of you do - can't wait! I had a Rover 75 some year ago and remember seeing the ZT260 in the launch year at the Classic Car show in 2003 / 2004(?) and wanted one then.Work, and other issues, prevented me from having one until now. I wish now I had got one earlier.

I have seen another ZT260 a couple of times around Hoyland / Barnsley in South Yorkshire, but not for some time now - is that anyone on here? I was always on foot when it went past.....

Hope to get involved with you in the coming year as a reasonably active member of Two-Sixties. I'll need to get the hang of posting in the forum first though, and how it works, so hope this post works ok!

Welcome Derek and good to see another one in Yorkshire. It could be me you've seen around Barnsley although it would be Darton, Staincross, Carlton areas.

Hi, Dave,

The one I used to see was a Trophy Blue one, not silver, but as I said, have not seen it recently. Perhaps we could meet up sometime - I would be very interested to check out VIN138's "Roushness". And maybe find something else apart from the lateral links to worry about......

[Black Olive II]

Dear all,

Thanks you for the welcomes received - appreciate it. Nearly halfway through the week before the collection on Saturday. Checking the Chorley weather reports. And the lateral link thread - every day.

Have ordered, as a spare, a pair of the £29 ebay mats - bargain if really OEM.

Insurance very reasonable from Aviva - got it for £ 270, which was at least 80 cheaper than the best on the comparison site I tried. 10k miles annual mileage. 53 y.o., with 6 years NCB (also got very good deal on house insurance from Aviva last year). I forgot to ask about agreed value, but the deal I have got will do me for the first year. I'll need it for the fuel.....

Joined MGOC, and looks like I may be affiliating to MGOC Chesterfield where some of my friends go. A bit of a trek for me, but they are a very active section, and I have participated in some of their events over the past few years. Is anybody one here connected to MGOC Chesterfield?

Oh well, a few more days to go. Really looking forward to it!!!

[zt954]

I used to be a member years ago with my mgb. Those were the days before mortgages and kids

[Bainzi]

Welcome Derek,
Retread (Dave), NewguyPete (aka Pete) and myself meet up now and again at the Leeds Cruise Junc 1 M621 on the 2nd Sat of each month at 1730 - 2030. We normally get there around 1700 for a Burger King and a chat. It will be great to meet you if you can get to one. Pete`s going this weekend but my first will more than likely be March. Two Roush`s for the price of one so to speak!

Regards

[NewGuyPete]

HI Derek,

Welcome, hope you enjoy your new aquisition, as much as we enjoy ours. As Bainzi ( Nige) says we normally meet up once a month at BK Leeds (not going this weekend), we do get quite alot of interest in our car`s (you will enjoy it).

Cheers Pete.
