17TZD

Silver hatch went past me this morning, lady driver, i didn't do any waving incase i scared her

What i thought was a bit odd, was that it said 17tzd, but there was no turbo sign, so would this be someone messing with the badging or was there such a car as a 17tzd n/a? The turbo's don't say 17 on them do they? Mine doesn't.

Didn't spot the reg number either

Either way, i've never seen that car before, & i've driven that same piece of road for the last 8 years.

As you say Matt, if it was a turbo it wouldnt have "17" written anywhere, so probably a 17TGD and you need new specs

Mine's a turbo and it is (was) badged BX17TGD.

Pretty sure it said TZD, but it whizzed past, so i might have gotten i wrong, but then again i didn't think 1.7 n/a's could go much over 70mph

Could of course had a different tailgate fitted from another car & therefore the badge doesn't match the car.

Next time is see the car, i'll force the driver to stop & make some enquiries to get to the bottom of this

Ahem - they can

Is that the omnibus edition?

Is this going to be a gentle rolling road block manoeuvre or a quick swoop past slam on the brakes & block the road at 45 degree manoeuvre?
