Happily stand corrected! Lol 😂 may well have been, the army spec nature of it I just assumed. Not even gonna lie, didn’t know the trekker existed!

Met this a morning last week on the way to work, looked very clean, likely heading to MOT.

And also seen this rare wee wagon, I'm sure there was never that many of them but this seems an appropriate enough thread for a pic of it..

Edit* I must clean the inside of the van window, it's ruining my car spotting.

2nd edit..

Seen this when working in Belfast a few weeks ago and thought it's not too often you see a cavalier Sri, never mind one with a smashed back window!

... Then I met (I assume) the same car in Ballycastle main Street 2 or 3 days later 😂 Still with nothing covering the back window either!!

Citroen ZX - was my first Turbo Diesel car I had, or as I used to call it a block of cheese. Was a decent comfortable car - I used to bang it up and down from Grimavady to Belfast each day for the grand sum of £27 per week in diesel from Muff.
And diesel was 46p per litre over in Muff, all of 21 years ago.
