My everyday car. I too am retired and do very low miles with only the occasional 200 mile round trip to Yorkshire.

I am hoping to get to Fraser ( Frazzle's) 7th Annual Gretna Meet on 17th July to meet a few fellow members and that will be a good 400 mile drive, round trip which I am looking forward to.

I love driving my 2.5 V6.

I'm lucky, or unlucky, to own 4 cars. My tourer led an active life and we used it as all tourers were built for, carrying stuff. We added almost 50k onto it in 4 years but now it's semi retired. It gets an easier life now and just gets used as part of 'ratating' the fleet to keep batteries charged.

My 75 is my daily driver although my wife has a Seat Ibiza that I have been known to "borrow " on occasions 😉

Daily use - 50 miles per day commute
The boss would rather I took a company Audi A3 and asked if mine was reliable. I pointed him at the Reliability Index

My ZT CDTI is my usual car and has now clocked 248,000 miles. It will do perhaps another 50,000 miles before the scrapman cometh in 2018 when I retire, as I would like something different as my usual car. I also run a 260 and 190 plus my pride and joy, a very fast TR4
