Default One year of ZT ownership (+7)

It's a year to the day since Ben and I got the train from Kilwinning down to Colwyn Bay to see Jules and pick up my stunning silver 190se


So how has the year been?
Downside
Obviously it costs more to run, slightly dearer insurance, higher road tax and less mpg- I've averaged around 30 mpg as opposed to around 36mpg on my old nasp 1.8.
The colour
Other than that I'm happy

Plus side

The ride is fantastic - nice and firm
The power available - oodles
The sound - miles per gallon have been replaced with smiles per gallon- it sounds fantastic
Despite the colour the car has a 'presence' on the road - it looks great.

I loved my 75 and it will always be special but I LOVE the ZT overall the year in ZT terms has been great

A year already, how time flies when your having fun.

Running costs are higher than a 1.8, which is obvious, but fun of the 190 far out weighs this.

I have an image somewhere of our cars together when you first purchased..

That's the one. Oh, and by the way, my parking skills have improved somewhat.

Gosh I remember us discussing the possibilities of a V6 when you and Ben were being chauffeured around in my 75, time goes so quickly and nothing wrong with the colour
