Spotted this today and am not sure whether to stick it in the Supercar or Classic thread. You're right, Supercar - it's a 2000 GXL after all.

[Iva Barchetta]

Rear suspension looks a bit high.

Estate spring fitted ?

[Impasse]

Dukes Of Hazard spec.

[Iva Barchetta]

2 ZZs in Hazzard iirc.

[Impasse]

Zee or zed?

[DickyC]

Zee is tops.

Two zees.

Zee zee is tops, too.

Zee Zee Top.

ZZ Top.



Because American.

[Iva Barchetta]

There's an Eco estate in Hackbridge called Bedzed.

[Iva Barchetta]

Beddington Zero Energy Developement.

Except it's not strictly in Beddington which is up the road but HackZed doesn't really work.

I thought some of the Cortina was attributed to zee Germans.

[hidetheelephants]

You're thinking of the Taunus, the contemporary version of which looked like a 'tina Mk3 that had consumed too many pies.

[DickyC]

Taunus did a fastback version of their version of the Cortina IIRC. (Everyone follow that?)

The fastback Granada was a good looking car. I saw one advertised as being, "Like a DB6," which was a couple of steps too far.

I need to find my swimming trunks before bedtime re' the ford stuff I divulged earlier.

[DickyC]

Do you need to be hosed down again?

That is rather a stretch.

Louche lounge lizards in loon pants, medallions and chest merkins would have been beating them off with a stick in one of these. Trivial motoring fact; Taunus is a range of mountains in Germany, I'm now imagining the sales potential of Ford's project archbishop if it had been marketed as the Ford Pennine.

If you care to read the Standing Orders, in my absence, or if I am otherwise incapacitated, Senior Members take turns to wear the big hat. Today it's a Mr Roper from a Principality south west of Liverpool.
