Are we becoming an endangered species?

JP53 · 24th April 2009, 10:01

I have just dropped the 75 off for an air-con recharge, being a nice day and doing my bit for the environment (read to tight to pay for a taxi) I decided to walk home. It's about 3 miles along a fairly busy road. 9.30ish.

I only spotted 2 x 75's and 1 x ZT (plus 1 ZT-T on a driveway). Looks like our motor's are getting rare. It's great to be different

I know its such as shame but when you see so many being scrapped is it any wonder ?

I've noticed we seem to drive in packs. i wont see any for days then all of a sudden you see 3 or 4 in a space of minutes.... weird

quite a few living in my neck of the woods, and several of them are of the older variety.

There are several by me too. We must both live in a very good taste area

Just been to my local Tesco in St Helens-car park was overflowing so had to drive round (all the 2 hour free parkers going into the town) and saw 3 other 75's parked up as well as mine. Rare?-not round here-they are everywhere.

If not a classic all ready this rarity you saw John will make it even more so

I live in Porthcawl but work in Cardiff and see 6 other commuters daily & several others round and about so not such a rare bread here, if anything I'm often surprised by the number 75 & ZT's I see, in good condition too.

Never noticed club badges on them though but I keep looking.:lol:
