Two more unhappy 75's

Sorry no pics guys,

I have had the last few days off of work enjoying the weather etc and 75 spotting, which has not been that great considering I have covered over 500 miles in those few days.

But yesterday leaving Bristol and heading home long the M4 I saw red metallic 75 on the back of a low loader, which had been recovered and I also saw a sad looking White Gold 75 on a transporter with several other cars going probably to their crushing death as the front of the 75 was slightly mis-shapen, but did not look too tragic, but looked forlourn.

Hope the owner of the red one was not too dis-heartened by the experience.

Allways seems sad to see cars like that especially one's that you/we are fond of but sadly to many a car is just another usefull accessory & if it breaks they get another!

I have to see many on them crashed every week, where i work we crash test cars and for some reason we crash them into 75s, its very sad to see, esp cuz they are mostly in good condition! Although it does mean many free parts for me!

Why do they use 75's? is because they are strong? or plentiful?
