I don't lol.

There's two of us in the household (at the minute) and have 4 cars.

We both have daily drives.
Mines a Astra G SRi 1.8 and Zoe (the wife) has a Corsa C SRi 1.4.

We both have "toys" we drive occasionally.
Mines a Lotus Carlton and Zoe has her Nova GSi.

Thankfully we have a long drive.

most people don't use their daily driver every day!!!!!! I personally haven't driven anything over the xmas period because I plan to keep my licence for a very long time

I never did when I had any of them.

The Red SR I done about 5k in 2 or 3 years. The white one I done about 2k in 3 years. The black one I done 1k in 6 months.

I continually had a fleet of various sh1tters I used to drive around in (Van of death, Stoved in Corsa, 12v Corsa, the Cav, the Astra, the big ole Pug Van etc etc)

I've not used mine for over five years, its been a rolling shell for about that long

Having got a second car with working heaters and comfy seats, I'm not sure I'll ever rely on my Nova as an only car. Used it with a cage/buckets/polycarbs as a daily car when I was at uni though.

Haven't had any of mine out since the end of September!
Think I'd crack up if I had to drive one every day, my 2 year old Leon has 67k on it now, wouldn't fancy that in a Nova.

i only use mine in nice weather and over the winter it just gets more money spent on it lol

use a mk4 astra sri XE everyday.

Lee H
27-12-09, 11:17 PM
Never use mine as there is another none moving car blocking it in at the moment plus it's never nice enough weather.

Use the Corsa XE daily although fancy a change already and intend using the mr2 for weekend fun etc.

I don't. Our fleet has reached a sturdy 12 now, they all need their fair share of attention :p

i think if you'd driven yours every day, the rozzers would've just sat at the end of your road, waiting for you to come out.... i know it was legal, but it did look rather fast, even when parked.

Ernie
28-12-09, 09:42 AM
it did that mate and was another reason i sold as was going to either get banned or killed which ever came first.

mowgli
28-12-09, 09:57 AM
one of the reasons I stick with 1600 power (or lack of) is the fact that I really need my licence for work

I took mine to buy a new tv, but we failed. The 42" was to big, then took it to Southampton (scum) as it needed a good run before it went back in the garage.

Found out my center box grounds out big time in the car park.

Its now tucked back up in the garage..

I dont think a tv that size would even fit through the boot hole(if that makes sense lol )

Benn
28-12-09, 11:05 AM
The tv would fit, but it was more the box, it had about 5inches of padding on all sides.. Box fitting in the boot hole but was just to long. Guessing at about 55inch long+

mowgli
28-12-09, 11:11 AM
ok, that is a big telly.....

Benn
28-12-09, 11:22 AM

12, you'd better start breeding, or just let us lot come & drive them round...... go on... what are they all???

Ok, here goes:

China blue mk1 Nova (SEH)
Jamaica Yellow mk1 Nova (1.2)
Mexico Red mk2 Astra (1.3)
Glacier White Belmont SRi (1.8)
I-think-it's-Carmine-Red-but-could-be-wrong Cavalier mk2 (20XE)
Bordeaux Red mk3 Cavalier GSi (3.0)
Diamond Black mk3 Cavalier SRi (SEH)
Pineapple Yellow mk3 Astra Sport (1.8)
Horrible Green Calibra Turbo (LET)
Spectral Blue Calibra (C20XE) Which was freeeee :thumb:
And finally, Sue the Beavertail Tranny.

Oops, make it 11 then. I forgot the Vectra SRi had been broken. RIP you stinker.

We are moving house and hopefully getting a dog soon, so I will be needing an estate too. There is a tasty little mk1 Astra number which I have my eyes on but may have to wait and see. If that doesn't come off, we'd like an ex-Police Vectra estate... :p

I will be driving the Nova again soon enough though, can't beat it's mischievous charm.
