is your osf your daily driver?

[Rick]

people always look suprised when i tell them im actually going to drive my car when its done..

 

is that wrong, im sorry i just cant spend 18 months working on it only to drive it on sunny sundays

 

i understand theres risk of damaging it etc but surely if its driven with respect and routinely maintained it will last

 

i understand ppl trailering their show cars about cuz they are 'for show'

 

and if some muppet bashes there door up it or bumps it well thats just tough aint it... could happen to your 60k porsche

[andrewg1323]

Yup Cars were built with engines for driving not for sitting there looking pretty!

[antz]

mine was my daily driver for 10months! and it still is now!

 

unless its satly on the roads then it stays at home

[Fiesta Steve]

I've been using mine every day for work for over a year

[Daveyboy20]

Yep sure is, and proud of it

[bmxdave]

My Triumph gets used every day.

[Mr Sam]

daily driver and a race car

 

 

soo many escort cossie at the pod today..........and how many of them ran lightweights suppose they didnt want to get shown up by the propper escorts

[Durham Fiesta]

looks like my mk1 will be a daily when its done

[tazrocks88]

mine will be when its finished sod the weather i will use it rain or shine

[sab6024]

My Capri was my daily driver until I realised I'd put more miles on it in the first 2 years of owning it than the other 22 years put together. I still keep it roadworthy so i can take it out whenever.

them people are what you call show and shine poofs! "oh no my car has a speck of dust on it, have 2 now re wash, polish and buff the car before i can go anywhere!!!"

 

Sod all that!!!! Just bloody drive it!

[RFChris]

....used mine 3 times....

[Twinkle]

yep the prefect is my daily drive

[escort21]

Hell yeah the 'tina is

[MK5]

yes, definitely

 

car has engine, its made for driving

 

she's not pretty, but she's old and out there

 

bit like me

[marky4]

if i worked in one place i would use mine as a daily but i need a van and work all over so can't

[bronze4door]

used my 4 door every day until i had to go to uni but i finish for the summer in two weeks and will be using the 2 door as my daily driver whilst working on the 4 door

[bortaf]

The Mk5 2.0i is me daily but i have another 2 cortys for showing

[Supercharged Nat]

Hell yeah!! i use the Supercharged beast everyday, regardless of weather etc. she does me proud!

 

i feel guilty sometimes for not having a 2nd sh!t heap to abuse, but im a student and cant afford 2 cars. so i run the capri, 230 miles from uni to home at holiday times, and around portsmouth when at uni the rest of the time. it gets abused and raced all the time and takes the punishment well, it would be an offence not to take advantage of the blown pinto wouldnt it?!

[Vista]

Mine was my daily driver until I started my engine bay refurb, it'll be elevated back to that status again soon.

[aden]

mine aint too scared to leave it anywhere, well i do live in luton

[mk14dr]

mine gets used everyday I've had it a year in a week and in that time i've done about 10k length and breadth of the country.

Its taken me from leeds to london to pick up 2doors (i had to take the front seats out at the side of the road to fit them in) all with the original 1.1 and 4speed box ('box has since died).

Its sat outside in the work carpark for 12hrs at a time in all weathers. The way i see it is, if i look after it now its more than people did when they were new, which is why they got a reputation for tin-worm.

and its been nicked, bumped, scratched and abused. OSF

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

mine was daily driver and trackday car

 

my next one will be too

 

thats what theyre for isnt it ?

 

its great to see the concours ones but not my idea of fun

[PaulAshman]

I use mine most days. Just use the people carrier when shifting big loads around. Cars were made to drive so you gotta get out there and drive it.

[john_3.0s]

afraid not 170 miles a day and a 3.0 essex would mean i would be skint in 2 months
