She’s a 2001 Saloon 2.0 V6 with 145 000 km (90 000 miles), and now the dream may begin : smooth, comfortable, a real enjoyment with lots of wood , leather and chrome as I’ve always desired. Of course, I haven’t forgotten my old 4 rings-5 cylinders made in Germany : once you’ve heard the music of the eighties from Ingolstadt, you’re hopelessly addicted, but I wanted something different of my ‘86 Audi 90 and ’81 Audi 100 CD 5E. My name is Etienne, and I’m writing from Charleroi, Belgium. I’m reading you for a few weeks, and I’m impressed to find so many enthusiasts with such a knowledge about this car you don’t meet every day, even in Britain : last month, I’ve been to South Wales (Swansea-The Mumbles and Brecon Beacon’s National Park), and I haven’t seen so many ‘75s. And now some pictures : ![]() ![]() Near Brecon, South Wales : ![]() My first love : ![]() ... and her sister ![]() |

![]() Nice car, same colour as mine. The enjoyment and expense begins!
I used to have a passat GL5 estate which was nice to drive but cut out every 13 miles (or when the engine was nicely warmed up). Used to drive me crazy so I got rid...shame really. Nobody could find out what was wrong with it.

![]() Hello Mr Le Titien, and welcome to the club! That's a lovely car with a great specification... I used to work in Charleroi at the Volvo Truck garage; wish I had my '75 then as it would've made my commute to and from Mons much more comfortable! I'll be visiting friends in Belgium soon, so will let you know!

![]() Hi Etienne and welcome to this great club. If you go to Wales again post it up as I expect some of the members there would love to see your 75 and give you Welsh cakes and rarebit

![]() In Wales again ? why not, I really enjoyed my stay there, but I havent't been courageous enough to try rarebit or Welsh cake
![]() Greendriver : If you ever know what happened with your Passat GL 5 (nice car indeed !), please let me know : a friend of mine is getting crazy with the same problem on his quattro ![]() Hello Leopard, if you come back to Charleroi, let me know, you know I have plenty of Belgian beer in the cellar ![]() And for the Rover : I hope I will keep her in good conditions for a very long time. It's a petrol engine, not frequent at all here : 9 on 10 are diesel. |

![]() Bonjour Etienne,
Very nice car you've got. I think the Rover is the same as an MG: keep it in a top condition and attack every problem at the very early beginning and you get soo much back. Threat them well and they are great cars. Salutions, from the Flemish region |

This forum is very useful for any questions you might have about your car so call in from time to time. I live in France but both my parents were born in Swansea and I used to go on holiday, when I was young, to the mumbles and the great beaches there. Colvert. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
