Thought I would update your readers on my ZTT replacement's equivalent figures

I have now returned from the Alps in Audi A6 AllRoad Biturbo- which is the ZTT replacement.

Average of 36.5 mpg ave speed 69 mph last 800 miles- but journey time reduced to 11 1/2 hours as we had a break on the Euro Tunnel

The Audi is far faster (with x2 HP) and quieter and much more room in boot and back seats

But has less stowage places for stuff in front, is clearly thirstier and the sports seats I ordered give me a sore bottom after 3 hours at the wheel.

Also drama with trailer today rushing for ferry with burst trailer tyre- I found how few tools the Audi has in the boot for emergencies-
(luckily man with an X5 lent me the wheel brace that fitted my trailer)

just goes to show what we all know = the 75 and ZTT was well ahead at the time.

Towing the racecar gave me 27 mpg average speed 48 mph last 178 miles

BRING BACK THE 75/ ZT

Disappointing lack of conquest and Norman jokes but well done!! Did only 420 miles over the last couple of days but my 2.5 V6 auto saloon is much improved with new Vis motors and returned a really pretty reasonable 34.7 mpg.
