180k plus miles and still used as a daily drive for work, I have the option of using a hire car to visit clients if i wish but given the choice between an Aygo or C1 compared to the 75 there is no choice.

My CDTI is a daily drive, though not more than a few miles. Once a week I give him a good 100 mile run.
I'm looking forward to a return Portsmouth trip next June, these cars are at their best motorway mile munching. It's an absolute joy to drive. Must give thanks to MarinaBrian for his help, advice, and expertise to help bring all this together. |

Yes, I put 48k on the ZT over 7 years and will be running the replacement 75 as my daily. I also have a 220 coupe turbo that supplements it in the summer months.

One of mine is used daily on a 60 mile commute. 267500 miles. She looks a bit tired round the edges but still the transport of choice!

I used to mould the R8 plastics, we had an on site spray shop. For painting the exterior door handles, night fire red was always a pleasure to see layed out freshly painted.

My 75 doesnt get used daily. Although I do take it to work on occasion. I have a BMW 320 and a Ford Galaxy both diesel that get used the most between them. The 75 will be coming off the road over winter. It needs some odd jobs doing and I dont really want to drive it on salted roads. Its done about 700 this year.
