The cars are secondary, I've waxed lyrical about a lot of things for most of my adult life getting nowhere in particular, however it is the social aspect of 75 or ZT ownership that means the most to me, not the cars.

This may come as a surprise to a lot of people, but the cars are simply a conduit for me, I loved the social aspect that comes from ownership, much more so than owning one.

Anyway enough drive for one night, important day tomorrow methinks

I whole heartedly agree with you Brian. Having been out of Rover ownership for almost 2 years now, I have continued with my subscription to the club because of the strong friendships forged from it. I am like you now, I attend the meets to cstch up with friends near and far, and the cars are a bonus. I hope one day to own another 75, but as a toy or show car, rather than a daily driver.
Have a great weekend all of you.
