Bought another project . . . . again

Typhoon190 · 2nd July 2019, 20:29

Due to my project ZT-T being taken out by a complete retard, and my Typhoon tourer needing an engine rebuilt, I made the sensible decision and . . . . bought another.

As noted in another thread, for less than the price of a smart phone.

I've always preferred the MK1, but the MK11 looks the part in Firefrost IMO.

Looks a nice one

She's pretty tidy in general. Went down to Bournemouth on the train to collect. Not without issues, but to be expected given the age and mileage, 135K.

Cambelts are well over due, so I'll get these done as soon as I can get the other car back on the road.

Looks lovely. I'll bet the previous owner was scared of the belts replacement cost compared to the "value" of the car. Who cares what £s it's worth? The value is in the joy of owning and driving such a beautiful head-turner. Firefrost is probably my second favourite colour - after Copperleaf.

A lot of car, for not a lot of money. It looks very nice.

I'm very jealous

Firefrost really suits the ZT-T, that's a lovely looking car
