How many of you guys have a daily 'other' ride ?

I use mine daily and am happy to, as I love to drive it. It adds a lot of miles, which sometimes bothers me, however I want to get my money's worth out of it and enjoy it as much as possible.

I don't really enjoy passengers in the car, as they have zero sympathy for the poor passenger side seat bolster :pensive:

Im exactly the same with passengers in my car. The Mrs will very often sit on the bolster with her legs out of the car - I have a nervous breakdown everytime!

To be fair im just the 1st bit of Jimmy's statement.

Why the hell would i want chocolate on the seats, sweet wrappers in the CD player and muddy footprints on the back of MY seat from my kids ? Heck; thats what the wifes car is for.........

Seriously. My car is my pleasure. Others just impede on my enjoyment and moments of pleasure. Selfish ? Bovered......

Use my clio as a daily, but with meg engine and coilovers, it's bit 'much' for a daily, especially with a wee one coming next year. So currently looking for an Audi S3 as a family wagon which will leave the clio free to be turned into 'Daddy's Toy' :smile:

Congrats on the wee one coming. Your first ?

My boys are 14,16 and 20. Trying to get rid of them ASAP - so i can actually buy and enjoy some toys !!!
 
That made me chuckle! What other toys you got in mind?


I'm a 2-wheeled man really Chris. I'd like to get my garage and shed back so i could get some space for some bikes again. [Ive always enjoyed building projects / doing up bikes and selling on etc too]. I've had 30+ bikes in last 20 years......right now is first time without one kicking around since i was about 20 (?).

And to be brutally honest it would just be nice only funding 2 people (Me and the wife) not 5 !

I use my 200 day to day but will take the 500 Abarth when possible as it's a better daily.

Really, you surprise me! I've got a soft spot for Abarths, but never having driven one all I can go on is that with the (essential?) essesse upgrade they're far too firm & bouncy. Don't get me wrong, I love 'em in theory & myself put fun over ability, but what you say goes against everything I've read. Like I said, I've never driven one but your opinion surprises me.
