I drive a company car Fiesta TDCi, funking hate it! Handles nice but nowhere near the fun my old 1250 zetec was! 60bhp! My Nova Td has 75!

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c323/turbocraig/EUROFEST07067.jpg

My previous daily driver was the 1200 Luxe+ which I still own but is very dead now, bought on ebay & served me really well.

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n16/scgsi16v/DSC00026.jpg
1.8 non turbo slow piece of FORD poo!

My Corsa was the daily drive but doing 15 000 miles a year took its toll, and it now only comes out to play from its cosy garage on special occasions.

[scott.parker]

Oooh who's is the late bug?

Scott

[John]

achingly slow 1.7d corsavan, not even worth taking pic of tbh, but i have a zaff gsi for weekend abuse!

[smcgsi16v]

The women next door to where I used to live owned it, it was MINT. I think it was a 1302.

[SRimon]

[Lee H]

Incidentaly its for sale.

[Stuart]

My daily drive is like Riggys..... but they put the engine in the boot and threw out the back seats :D


http://lh6.google.com/lindborg.stuart/RuV97du7XlI/AAAAAAAAAKo/HL0LmHICNE0/s288/DSC04237.JPG
Done about 20K in 13 months in it lol

[Mazz]

My daily is my ever faithful Cav V6, it does the job...

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/mrmazz/Cav/P1020175.jpg

[Mike]

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j181/mikenova/Random/PICT0006.jpg

[draper]

trent barton rainbow 2 bus in yellow

or trusty saracen mountain bike in silver

[Adam]

So it seems pretty much no one on here drives a nova everyday then lol

I do :p

[Mike]

I did, but now its relagated to the driveway in peices, and soon the scrappies :P

[ANDYRACER]

I drive my nova sr everyday, but when it comes off the road for winter ill be using my cavalier td. :D

[tom_beverley]

My Nova will be used everyday of the summer when finished if that counts lol At the moment I drive a '96 306 1.9td which is nice and comfy but I miss the 'fun' factor which is somewhat absent :( When I start getting a car allowance (hopefully one more year) I'm thinking of a nice and standard DC5 or FTO.

[loggyboy]

Daily driver - should be this :

http://www.loggyboy.com/images/BMW/191106/ShadeRearQtr.jpg

but cant afford tax on two cars so there so only one choice to make when weather is dry.


http://www.loggyboy.com/images/MeritMk2/Autosolo/Autosolo2.jpg

if it gets wetter over next few months then the BM may come out of retirement, if it hasnt sold by then.

[raymond]

Would love to buy something as a runaround but cant afford ao i have to use this as my daily drive

[craig green]

So Raymod is the coolest!

I wish my daily drive was my Nova TD tbh. Far more entertaining than my Fiesta & capable of multi car overtaking manouvres.

Ash, that was my last Fiesta (silver) you went in. This one was brand new in May. Just about to register 4k.

[Andy_L]

Is it a Style or Style Climate you've got Craig??

The 1.4 diesel really is very very poo.

[Alex.]

1983 Mk2 VW "poot poot" mobile! lol

Lee H, if I had that money I'd buy your celica :p

[Bent]

[dannyb]

Since i sold the NOva a couple of weeks ago, I've gone to somethng comfortable, reliable, rust free and well built:

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i246/dannyblo/DSC00308.jpg

Still miss the handling of the old 5 door though, but don't miss its potential to rot

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i246/dannyblo/DSC00165.jpg

[Stuart]

hve to say I really like the 1.4 TDC fiesta (current shape) 92bhp, pulls like a train, handles well for a bog spec car... only thing is the DMF is a tad on the weak side and I've broken 3 so far lol

[Ernie]

well i have the choice of the omega Elite 3ltr or my civic type.s.

Omega it is then lol.

[Dar]

[Timmy]

[krobinson]

My Daily drive's a 1.8i Cav hatch, its pretty clean and still nice and red.

I've the 1.4 nova for weekend fun. And my turbo project in the garage.

[R1CH]

Mines a 1.5 Diesel 106 !! 126K complete with rotten wing & dented in drivers door !!
Had it just over 3 years now paid ?400 (i think), easy does 55mpg, washed it about twice, changed front wheel bearings, bottom ball joints, track rod ends, clutch, cam belt, radiator, starter motor, exhaust, rear axle, ignition barrel, diesel stop solenoid, front GTi discs & calipers !! ... other than all that its been pretty reliable !! lol
Best cheap run about i've ever had.

Rich

[paddy138]

mines a 95 civic coupe, mint, just a temporary run around cause i got it for cheap, oppurtunity to make a bit of money on it that i can spend on puttin a 1.6 in my nova

[Philsutton]

Well up until 2 weeks ago my daily drive was a 400+bhp corsa but since getting a new job ive decided to grow up a bit an got a 1.5 diesel corsa running on cooking oil making all of 12bhp lol
