DEP Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 I know this has been asked before, but so many new people on here, thought it would be good to get an update. How many people use their OSF s everyday? And for those of you that dont use their OSF s every day, why dont you? Valid reasons please
RUSTYPUP Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Usually use mine every day, but having to use mrs rustypups 1600E for now while I'm working on mine. Never had anything other than osf for daily car since I passed my test- they've got good heaters eh!?
mk2_escort_chick Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Well i dont have one- my reason. Dean's estate- not finished yet and is prob not gonna be used everyday. It'll drink too much
james p Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 use mine every day its runnin lol love it
Cookie Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Not at the moment got both the escort and tina stripped to shells for work!
Admin Mk2Jo Posted January 17, 2007 Admin Report Posted January 17, 2007 My RS is currently off the road awaiting a new powerplant although it is not my daily driver ...... I don't like to leave it parked on the trading estate where I work I have a feeling, however, that it will be used a lot more this year though for daily jaunts
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Used daily. However between Christmas and new year I didn't get the chance and I got withdrawal symptoms so I had to go for a blast.
4parajon Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Mine is'nt a daily driver as I have a company "fun bus" car....not that I have my capri at the mo anyway
Daggle Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Mine isn't used every day, coz its got no heater, so the kids moan about being cold, its got no seatbelts so the missus moans about having to hang on the side of the door, its not running at the mo, cause I have sheared a bolt in the block and I haven't got an engine crane to get it out, when it is running, I don't want some twat to dent it in the car park of Tesco's when I am getting the weekly shop, its got no security on it to speak of so I don't want it to go walkies, so there's my reasons why I don't drive it every day.... Plus I have a Focus St170 which I know is FWD, but for an everyday car, I think its great, so there
mk2_escort_chick Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 the missus moans about having to hang on the side of the door Lol! Thats the whole point of having an osf! Thats part of the fun
Gonzo Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 My reasons: don't got one, couldn't drive even if i did, and my supermoto's gonna be my main form of transport. so much cheaper on fuel, even if it is a fuel-hungry 250 stroker. 50bhp+ at the rear wheel man!
Admin Vista Posted January 17, 2007 Admin Report Posted January 17, 2007 I was using mine everyday until October as I have safe secure parking at work. I took it off the road in Oct as I got my Alfa finished and it's tax exempt so have been using that and my Eurobox over the winter.
DeuceCoupe Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 yep mines used everyday dont know if it will be the same with polo though have to see how much it drinks
Daveyboy20 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Everyday for me, through the ups and downs (as some of you will know )
RFChris Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Well, my past OSF's were everyday hacks. The Cortina will be a different matter though. Mainly because i work in construction, so it;d be unfair to such a tidy car to put it through the riggors of building sites and the associated dirt. And also because i want to modify it, lots. Chris
CapriLaser200 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Use my Capri everyday,sideways of course .Got to get sumat else tho Bin offered a very unloved unused 3.0s.Not telling where it is and how much it is coz sum git will get there 1st
Wessie Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 if any of mine were roadworthy i would use and abuse them YFKT
alwayssideways Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 Always used to use my OSF's everyday - was doing 400 miles a week at one point in my old XR2! I still hevent got my current 2.8i MOT'd yet (had it nearly a year now ) My brother uses his 3.0S every day (only whilst his cortina is off the road though ) I bought a daily driver when I changed jobs and lost my company car - Nice reliable Saab, full leather, semi Auto box, A/C 185BHP.......... yawn..... anyone wanna swap it for a MK1 fiesta/1300 escort??......... No? (worth a try eh )
