Happy Birthday club

doesn't time fly

I actually joined the club before I got my car, needed to find out the good & bad points before buying, & Derek (Derekosb) was kind enough to supply me with enough info to make my mind up & take the plunge

7 years later, the longest I've ever owned a car or bike, & I'm still here due to the kindness & the way members give their time & knowledge of their own free will, make this the best 75 & ZT forum out there

We've been through some rocky patches, but always come out the other side better for it

Here's to the next 10 years

Aye, 10 years and still going strong - and to think some said it wouldn't last.

The way in which so many folk have joined in and shared their experiences in keeping their examples on the road, telling others how to solve issues that would otherwise have seen their car taken away, is a fantastic achievement.

Members of this club have played a huge role in ensuring our cars are still a quite common sight on the road and most looking in great condition. For that everyone deserves a huge pat on the back - and that includes everyone who has been involved in running this place over the years, with Mike and Ken getting a mention too for their hard work in the early days getting this place off the ground.

My only sadness is that there are some folk no longer here to join in the celebrations. From Garry Warner through to Rosemary Fleming and Bob Lanahan, we have had the honour of some wonderful people frequent the club. Doubtless they're all having a party of their own right now, so I'll just ask you all to please raise a glass today to everyone who is here and no longer with us, and wish you many more years of happy motoring in your 75 or ZT.

I just want to add to Paul and Pete's messages - little did we know way back then when we flicked the "ON" switch of the new club website and forum just how successful we would be. Just think of all the 75s and ZTs that would have long since been scrapped if we were not around over these 10 years! Thanks to all the members that make this club and those who give their time to this great club - past and present. Thanks so much - long may this club continue!

I'm a bit of a newbie, all things considered, but just wanted to add my thanks!

My car would not have gotten half the attention it has already if not for members on here. I simply wouldn't have known what to do with certain problems, or which experts to turn to for help and repairs. Long may the club and its fantastic members continue!

Found this site just after buying our 75. been a member now getting on for a year and will be renewing.
have to add my thanks to those who set up the site,those who keep it going, and my fellow members who continue to be a source of advice,information,support and encouragement.
Glad I found the site - long may it continue to promote and support a brilliant range of cars.

Roderick · 5th November 2016, 15:28

Indeed, many happy returns! First saw the club in 2013, but didn't actually own a 75 until October 2014 – thanks to the brilliant concept of members in other parts of the country to check a car out. So many thanks also to Ken Lions who checked mine out before I made a 400+ round trip to buy it. Have just returned from a visit to Cornwall covering 750 miles not missing a beat. Discovered Jules and the Midlands Nano meets who I never would have known about if it wasn't for the club and this forum and much more.
Thank you.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday dear owners club Happy birthday to you

And I would like to send best wishes not only to the club but to everyone that makes it what it is..

Maybe we can have a belated tea party at Eden Camp in April with cake and jelly and balloons and pop

Who know's it may even tempt one or two of the people we dont see very often at national meets these days to come along..

Cheers Ian
