20,000 miles and counting

Its been 9 months since I bought the beloved ZT-T.....having had a belly full of the mundane company cars I decided last March to opt for the cash and buy my own motor. Enter the ZT....the car sat for a month whilst I was away working in Bejiing but then I had to use it daily, unfortunately it gets worked very hard, up and down the motorways like a yo-yo often loaded with heavy machines and equipment.
it also took me the wife the dog a roof box and a 1300 Kilo Caravan at 70 mph 2000 miles around france ( thats the legal limit in france by the way) but the ZT has taken it all in its stride, 20k since April....and no problems to report.
The best part is that the novelty hasnt worn off, I still love it, wash & wax it every week (weather permiting) and I maintain it myself. in fact I just put the leather away now. lovely job.

I spent 3 hours washing, polishing and hoovering mine today. It's a very hard battle this time of year and I don't go on the motorway very often!

Your lucky you found the time! Working in retail I have precisely nill spare time

Between working, xmas shopping and family on the odd moment I have spare it's either raining, dark or both! Doh!

Nevermind, so long as it's nice weather over xmas I should find at least one spare afternoon to lovingly bathe my beauty.... (that's the ZT.... I can see what you lot are thinking!
