Reminds me of when I bought my ZT V8. I wasn't even looking for a car at the time.

I don't blame you looking for a small diesel Bob.. If I still owned it the road tax alone on the ZT-T would be costing me £330 a year now, the tax and insurance combined on the Kia gives enough change from that £330 to have a good night out for both of us.

One last drive today, one last fill up, one last wash and one last look. Going to miss her but it makes sense.

I had a TF in Sunspot Yellow, was not the best of cars. So I got rid after less than 6 months.
Getting in and out will be a problem for me as well these days. Having said I have seen a nice looking one in Xpower Grey.

I’m in no rush in getting another motor.

I agree on the getting in and out thing with the TF, I kind of fall in to mine and clamber out...

But I do love the look of them, even better having the ZT next to it in matching Trophy Blue. The wheel arches will probably match better with my sons Firefrost V8 soon though...

Late '50s when my father was at the Police college he got a lift home in a old MG, MGA probably. My father was a rugby player (front row prop) so not really suited to small, low sports cars, he had to crawl out on his hands and knees.

And with that she was gone. What a nice guy Keith is. He is going to keep me up to date with her progress.
