Owning a 75 is a labour of love and when circumstances draw your attention elsewhere, the charm of the cars can be easily forgotten as the niggles take over.

I'd also suggest thinning the fleet - maybe keep a good one for weekends and a less good one, or something else, for daily duties. Clear the fleet completely at your peril as you may feel bereft if you make yourself 75-less.
^ like what he said , once spring gets here and it warms up a bit it'll be better
