    I keep telling myself that I should get one, if not for the love of the marque, but for residuals hehe.

    You'll never get tired of people who ask about the car. The jaw pops open, the eyebrows go up, the reply 'Did you say 4.6?'

    Just had another one today. Try hard not to, but wow you feel smug...

    The old chestnut of...

    "Ah, nice V6"

    No, it's V8

    "No, no, they never made a V8"

    *pops bonnet*

    "Oh, blimey"

    Is always good too

    I've had "how did you make it rear wheel drive". Did you convert it. "That v6 sounds meaty" grrrrrrrrr .. And the best one of all was from a youth in a chav chariot "yeah man how did ya do the twin exhaust conversion" grrrrrrr. But the amount of people that hear it are not looking for aZT. Which makes me smile. So buy one and you to could be asked stupid questions. But also people take a nice interest which brings a warm smile that something British made still can catch peoples eye. Good luck on your search

    I like the uniqueness of the 260... and that big fat V8!

    I've been looking at a variety of motors to replace my ZR TD but I just cant get the ZT out of mind. It's got something about it.
