One sensible thing I heared Jeremy Clarkson remark about concerned cottages
and certain cars. Both of them are too small and drafty, yet we love them so.
The Rover 75 is like that - the bonnet fit is one example, but the package as
a whole is very nice. I do appreciate it is a car that many will hate :-)

I have been researching tyres - Continental EcoTread look good value and are
supposed to be quiet - got any recommendations?

I love the way that shot makes me look slim :-)

....and the rear plate? Plenty of suppliers on the web/fleaBay who'll make
'em in the correct shape to fit the recess. Makes an _immense_ difference
to the look of the rear of the 75.

Specifically for a 75? No.
Generally? I like Michs. For you, Energy rather than Pilot probably. Not
that much more than other brands, and last well.

Autoglym is good stuff, but not up to Zaino quality. Try puuting a layer of
Z6 over the Autoglym Super Resin Polish and you will not only see the
difference but feel it too.

Autoglym have slipped a little behind the times, but I still use their
Interior shampoo and bumper care - both top notch products.

You spend *time* cleaning your car? I thought you were better than that
