    Talking Big day tomorow!

    By this time tomorrow I'll have been home a while with a ZT260. Everything is organised, insurance and tax (rip off!) sorted, taxi booked to take me to the station in the morning. Bag packed with some snacks for the train south . . . . as well as a spare can of Tyreweld and a wee compressor, bit paranoid, never had a car with no spare wheel before! Being picked up at a station south of Leeds, do the paperwork etc, over to a trader from the 75&ZT club who lives locally to get a spare key sorted out then head north for about 220 miles. Luckily, judging by weather forecasts, I seem to have picked a quiet period between storms to collect it.

    This sounds like my buying experience 2 weeks ago, half a day of coach and train journeys followed by a nervous 200-odd mile drive home. I was a lot less prepared though!

    Hope all goes well!
