Well, I've bought myself a TZD!
Well, I've bought myself a TZD!
Yes, those of you who'll remember the demise of my old white TZD Turbo in the South of France will be glad to know that I've just put a deposit down on its spiritual successor!
You'll also be glad to know that it is a club car I'm buying. As I hinted earlier in the week, it's Gareth_Wales's lovely 1992 example in Gris Dolmen. With 109k on the clock, an MOT till August, near-immaculate bodywork, smashing paintwork, a fantastic history and all sorts of spare parts, it's one of the best of the breed. I went to visit Gareth at his home today for a test drive, and left impressed - it's certainly a lovely car! I'll be collecting it in a few weeks once Gareth has sorted himself out a new car, and I have to say, I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it!
My thanks to Gareth and Brenda for their warm hospitality - it was possibly the most pleasant car buying experience I've had yet!
I'll put some pics of the beast up when I've collected her. Now then, does anyone want a Saab?

Nah, well done. All good work. Any BX is better than no BX, and thats a great colour.

Cheers guys! I'll definitely try and make it to one show or other this year - this car deserves to be shown off, especially after all Gareth's hard work! I don't think Gareth will be leaving the club - he expressed to me a desire to stick around today! Also will get some pics up of the TZD as soon as she's in my possession!
