|  What is ZZ-TBC???
I keep seeing the words ZZ-TBC in ads for cars from Evans Halshaw.
e.g.: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3270343.htm
What's ZZ-TBC? |

It means nothing! Just called Evans Halshaw in Blackpool and they say they have contacted Pistonheads and even they don't know! 
They are trying to find the person who uploaded the expression as it would appear that it is unique to that person only.

Looks like a stray field in their car database that's not used but has not been removed from the page template. | |

It stands for ZZ Top Black Cassette - a throw back to the time before CDs were invented and it is hoped that by quoting the band name ZZ TOP it raised the value of the car
