Default 75 not X Type

After looking around at both the 75 and the diesel X type Obviously I opted for the 75 Tourer with as many toys as I could find.

I have recently completed a VOSA course up in Chatterden in Oldham last week and although the strut top mount let me down (being repaired as we speak) near my home on the way back, I was amazed at how nice and quiet the run was, MPG was up to nearly 45 and that's cruising at or about (Ahem) the legal speed with ac on auto at a comfortable 17c.

The other thing that suprised me was the amount of X types I saw, they are down right common as muck, I could count on 1 hand the amount of 75's or MG's be it Saloon or Tourer's that I saw. So to me that screams exclusivity and I've convinced myself of that and I'm a happy bunny, 'cause I made the right choice

Plus the 75 won't rot out from underneath you like the X type would have done
