Every day or Hidden away??

Eljay55 · 8th September 2010, 14:23

Hi guys, i read on the forum that some of you have your 75/ZT hidden away only to be brought out on sunny days, weekends or special occasions.
Now i am not fortunate enough to have 2nd or 3rd cars to use for everyday use so i can hide away my 75 from all that GB weather throws at it but i don't think i really could. This would take away my pleasure of my everyday driving.

Not saying that i would love to have another "special" one to love and cherish hidden away

So, where do you fall..........Everyday or Hidden away??

At 150,000 miles mines no hidden treasure!! Cars were built to work, not gather dust!

Everyday and hidden away for me, I use one or other of my two (depending on the mood i'm in)

Pipe and slippers Gentleman's carriage, or Boy Racer sports auto.

But whichever one is not playing, stays tucked up in the garage

Everyday, wouldn't drive anything else.

I use my 75 for everyday travel. 45 to the gallon and smooth ride, no road noise I cannot understand why you would'nt. Recently I managed to stack 16 square metres of turf in the boot and back seat to the amusement of the garden centre staff.

I dont consider my car to be special enough to be hidden away, I use it most days (except when it isnt playing, I have an old toyota for those days and for going fishing in), done 14k in 6 months so far.

However, should it be a V8 well that would be different.

Everyday car for me! Although I do sometimes wish it wasn't as I don't like the idea of her getting knocked about in supermarkets or parking her in narrow streets.
