What else do you have on your driveway (except 75/ZT)? - Page 3

Lots of weeds on my driveway. They don't make weedkiller like they used to!

They're not allowed to under European legislation, I was told.

I'm a ZT owner again now so I can reply to this!

First off there's my Mk1c Rover Sterling. In the family since '92 and on my drive since 2006. It's recently undergone a very extensive restoration and looks amazing now.

Then there's our daily driver the MG ZS EV. Our first electric car and so far proving to be stupidly cheap to run. 15,000 miles in and still haven't run out of power once

Next is our Volvo C70 D5 convertible. I have no idea why we have this car, it serves no purpose however I saw it in the local auctions and it was immaculate and cheap! Despite being a bit pointless we really love this one.

And finally the BMW X5. I bought this to tow my 3.5t trailer and for general use on site and in the field. We previously had an Isuzu Rodeo pickup but that was way too slow so I decided that 332bhp and 728nm of torque was the way to go! It does drive very nicely however on the negative side no one lets me out of junctions and I feel like a NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- driving it

And that is the fleet at the moment. Mrs Guru tells me that 5 cars is the limit so probably won't be adding to it anytime soon.

Ha ha, kinda sums up the X5 driver

I have been looking at those Volvo's for a while now, something quite nice about them.

I really like them, we had a V90 not so long ago and that was a cracking car and despite never even sitting in a C70 before we bought that I really like it. Love the tricksy way the roof folds away

As promised, a better picture now that the driveway is done.
Just had a clean up from a weekend out,(the Mini not me) Saturday at a local country show/classic car show.
And Sunday at Brands Hatch Mini Festival.
