Is there something wrong with me?
 

When I get out of my Connie and the door shuts with that special 'Clunk' I get a real lift, then, after walking away I turn around and look back and see that 'shape', well, it's a bit (well just a bit) like that honeymoon feeling.

Could this be love?

The turning to look back at the car is perfectly normal as that is what the designer Richard Wooley intended according to something I read :icon_lol:

......... and do you get jealous when gentlemen of a certain age admire her?:Mrs_Claus:

I don't get jealous, I get a feeling of being the proud owner. I regularly meet a gent in his 70's at my newsagents when I pick up my morning paper.
Each time he runs his hands along the roof, and looks at the interior, smiles, and says " oh a Rover 75, lovely, lovely, lovely".

I like that guy !!

If he toucha my car he a sleep wid da fishes!:envy::jedi::flame::target::oops:

the clunk.... just like a Golf :)

I think it is a reassuring clunk

Earlier this week, I had just parked my scruffy looking ZT [due to volume of rain /muck on roads following local floods] in a restaurant car park [and looked back..] when a chap who'd parked in the other end of the car park walked up to me and said what's your car-it's so different to everything else. After I'd told him and explained it's got a BMW diesel in there etc. etc. he was fascinated. When he said he'd come in a Tesla and explained that you can update it via software upgrades I was amazed [bit out of touch with new cars etc.]. Then he said, I bet you get more fun per pound for yours, which I guess may be true!

BTW He then revealed he'd bought the wrong Porsche recently: his father in law has a 996 and he spotted what he thought was a similar one and bought it. Turns out it's a 997 which he told me is prone to engine problems along the line....! I suggested he might like to buy a 75 or ZT and have some cheaper fun!

Yes, a Tesla looks OK, but like most modern stuff, all a bit clinical. It's less driving a car, more operating a game console! I think the MG ZT and Rover 75 just about got it right at the time. Heads turn for a reason - a real classic design icon... so I am biased... but the depreciation costs annually for ours are peanuts, and insurance is low too compared to the modern stuff. So, I shall keep on with these cars, I reckon.

Always look back .... probably at least twice after cleaning it! :icon_lol:

Happy chrimbo all
