Is your 75 a daily or 2nd car?
Hi everyone
Just wondering how many of the cars on here are an "only" or "daily" car, and how many are a second vehicle? My recent purchase is a second car, as my daily is an Avensis. I've always had classic Vauxhalls, but am sick of no one knowing what to do with the carbs on them, basically rendering them non runners, and the club was useless to help! I've looked around for a few weeks for something a bit more modern, but that as a gal I could tinker with, and still had character, and that's how I ended up with a Connie! Two weeks in, and lots of niggles to keep me busy, but I'm also enjoying the car very much! Dawn |

Between 1999 and 2005 I had 5 75's as my main car. These days however my 75 is my 2nd car, used rarely to keep the miles down. I have an Audi A6 Avant, 3.0 TDI Quattro, as my main car.

My black Club SE which is being gradually upgraded/improved is my main driver, and recently clicked over its 100000th mile. The Moonstone Connoisseur has been a daily driver for two and a half years, first for me and then for the missus, but is on the point of being sold. The Wedgewood Connoisseur SE which is currently off the road will become another daily driver for a while, and I'm going to keep an eye out for a cheap but essentially sound tourer to alternate with the others or possibly keep the Wedgewood for more occasional use.
