Hi,

I used to have a Rover 220 SD, never really noticed how many there are on the roads until I had one, then I saw them all over the place (or their derivatives).

So, needing more carrying capacity, and after a lot of research, I thought I'd upgrade to the R75, not many of them about.... How wrong I was! There are loads of them!!

(So why only me locally on the forum map? (Rhetorical )).

Trouble is I never see them parked, always on the move, or I am. I've read references to "Club cards", if anyone has has got some spare I'll willingly put them under the wipers. These local owners do not know what they are missing from this forum. Well done to all contributors, it's always a pleasure.

Seasonal felicitations (to be PC)...

I always find that too. It must be psycological - you automatically start to look, conciously or unconciously, for your current make of car.

However, I have noticed the opposite with the 75/ZT. They really do appear to be thin on the ground, here anyway, although I must have seen about ten (mostly 75s) last Sunday when out with SWMBO doing some shopping.
