The 75 is the most unreliable car ever.

The 75 is the most reliable car ever.

The 75 rusts

The 75 doesn't rust

Everyone driving a "euro box is stupid"

Most people have no idea an average brand new hatchback is over £20,000

Rover and Jag do not compete

The diesel will get 127 mpg

The v6 will get 126 mpg

The diesel gets 37 mpg

The v6 gets 21 mpg

The v8 is slow

The v8 is fast

You can't have an opinion on a v8 unless you own one.

Ive learned/found out that ownership of a 75/ZT causes

a severe pain in the neck- from always looking back at it once parked
the knowledge that your car is easily the best looking vehicle in the car park
a fear of dings and other such things.
the knowledge that despite harsh words to each other accross various platforms if something goes wrong you will receive help and advice from all areas

A true enthusiast never spends money on their car (unless it's for the drivers side cup holder) because it's only a 75/ZT and if you want a fast car you should by a BMW

***shakes fist at someone daring to uprate the engine, brakes, suspension, tyres etc...***

XPower grey is the best colour.

BRG3 is the best colour.

The 75/ZT is a great design and I like to leave it as it left the factory, otherwise you ruin it in my opinion.

Other than the mods I have made, of course.

A Drivers Side Cup Holder is worth more than it's weight in Gold,

For heavens sake don't fit in the car.
