    Hi, just bought my first zt 260, after daihatsu yrv turbo (mental car) focus st (divorce car), meriva vxr (new baby) and micra sport (credit crunch) and am waiting to pick it up on sunday. I'll fill the questionnaire in then. It's on a 53 plate, got the x-power exhausts and is in blue, probably the best car colour I've ever seen imho. Living in bradford, some advice as to a good place to get it serviced and looked after would be welcome. Kind regards

    Welcome along Brian. Someone close to you will give advice on a good service centre.

    Brian,
    are you getting this car from a dealer in the North East? If so let me know as I have some details of the history (don't worry nothing dodgy!!)

    Yes, it's the one in the north-east. I have seen the you tube footage of it. Went up to see and drive it t'other day and it was a heart/head kind of thing. Heart won. Regards. brian

    Hi Brian and welcome. Hope you get as much pleasure as I've had from my 2 ZT260's. However, Brian, you do know that this is not just a car? It's a car with soul and them X-Power exhausts will be enough to scare old ladies and vicars and get people asking "Is that a V8,mate?" (Usually gets a better reaction when you mention that it's a Mustang V8!) It has it's quirks, but with the help of a good garage and the knowledge from some of the guys here, then you should be just fine.

    Looks like Brian is buying my old car which is well sorted and should serve him well. Enjoy!!

    Meanwhile I have disgracefully skulked off into Porsche ownership - and you thought running a 260 was expensive HA!!

    TTFN!

    How strange you are.... I know they are great cars, but I just can't imagine myself ever owning one. I hope no-one ever bookmarks this post
