The turn out was low but it was good to see a flock of cars out again. No-one here has ever seen a ZT-T before so I was kept busy explaining the car and how it got to Canada. So busy I didn't even get a chance to take a pic of the ZT parked between a TC and a TD. I even got a serious offer to buy the car from the owner of the TC!
The day went well, the ZT ran great and even my lovely wife enjoyed the day out with the car.
. Ahh Rich your making me homesick, I plan to ship the 750 out of China in July if the lockdowns are over, so will miss all the events this year. Bring your ZT over to Ladysmith for Brits On The Beach this July, it would be good to meet up.

Default Happy Birthday Lagetha

Well today 27/04/2022 marks Lagetha's 22 years on the road, although judging by the mileage gaps in her MOT history, and her modest 71450 miles, I suspect she's spent a lot of time laid up resting.

Popped on my new bonnet cable clips from Chris and lubricated the catches, all working well but I really should get them stripped down and cleaned up soon

Washed, Autoglymed and ceramic polymered the V6.The ceramic polymer from Bilt-Hamber is fantastic. Even after polishing with Autoglym, the shine and slip of the finished job gives you a nice feeling when running your fingers over the bodywork. Ooh Mrs.

Is the ceramic polymer easy to apply? I like other Bilt-Hammer products I have tried.

Just spray it on, and then gently spread with a soft duster, and then polish off . When I sent for mine ,it had two blue soft dusters with it. You can use it again without polishing the car, after you have washed it. It comes in a spray container, metal, just shake it up and spray very lightly. You won’t be disappointed I promise you. If you do use it, let me know what you think please.

Default A trip to Yorkshire...

Went to meet BigRuss, who programmed me a second (spare) ignition/remote locking key, and programmed/replaced the remote locking board in my existing key. All for a very reasonable £60. So Thanks BigRuss!
