What does your 75/ZT share the garage/drive with ??

mike26950 · 16th September 2008, 18:10

I thought it might be interesting to find out what 75 and ZT owning households have for a second car. At the risk of making myself the subject of ridicule Ill start this off by owning up to a black Kia Picanto "Glamour" residing next to my 75. SWMBO wont drive my 75 (thank goodness) as its "too big", has no interest in cars and drives very few miles. Our Picanto is just celebrating its third birthday but has only done 8K miles. After youve finished laughing consider this: cheap to buy/tax/insure/fill up, 4 doors, air conditioning, 4 wheel disc brakes, alloy wheels, MP3/CD stereo, absolutely reliable and seems pretty well built. OK its a bit plasticky inside but as cheap and cheerful motoring its better than you might think. No, I never drive it myself, except that for some strange reason it is always me who has to take it to be filled up, which thankfully isnt needed that often. OK that my confession, now its your turn...................

My 2nd car is a 1973 MG Midget which is off the road at the moment because I'm putting a VVC Kseries in it

Audi A3 and a Skoda Fabia.

Plus a Moggie Minor and Scirocco in the Garage, in bits.

Currently Janet's Polo and my dead 400GSDi which is off to the scrap yard early next week.

Also got an MG Maestro Turbo which is undergoing serious work at my mates garage.

1998 Renault Megane 1.4, the work horse, DIY items and left over rubbish and anything else that requires carrying.

My wifes Astra SXi, not my favourite car or marque but she loves it.

My Granada 4X4 is getting a bit long in the tooth and will fail next MOT on bodywork. I've bought this 1994 BMW 525iX Touring as a 4X4 replacement for the winter months instead of using the ZT.
