The question in our garage is who is sharing with whom? We have 3 75's, as you'll see, and no other vehicles except a BMW F650GS motorcycle. Unfortunately room is somewhat short, so the oldest 75 (2000 2.0 litre) is being relegated to the outdoors, and will soon be up for sale. Shame, as it's a lovely car to drive and is actually more comfortable that the other two.

Yamaha XT 660 single cylinder thumper!!! (sad to say I've only ridden her once this year due to lack of time & weather etc)
Tourer Conn SE & ZT CDTi saloon because we're nuts about them

A 1300 FWD I assume?

(front wheel drive)
Fantastic! That was the last quality car Triumph made IMO. With its thick pile carpets and Wood trim and confy seats & oodles of sound proofing.
You can even change the clutch in a hour without removal of gearbox!!

It all went down hill on quality from the TOLEDO onwards, although the Dolly Sprint was a great car!!

Well, until Frosty leave the fold over in the next few days, he currently rubs shoulders with 2 mountain bikes and my other P & J, my Honda VFR 800 (a proper one, not the VTEC one!!!).

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...................

No shame about the Picanto, SWMBO's Suzuki Wagon R+ proudly shares the parking spot with Samarkand (our 75). Lovely car to drive and park in Paris tight streets, and to use at the weekend supermarket parkings

, transport voluminus items, take the kids to/from school and after school activities... Even to go to a dressed diner (imagine the face of the valet when you give him the Suzuki to park it

, never given the 75 to a parking valet

)

A 'proper' Saab 900 Convertible, rather tired now but still lovely with the roof down... No Allegros at the moment but hoping to buy one at some point!
