bigbird Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 After having a good surf around here, i just wondered how many people actually use their scoobs as daily drivers? I use mine for everything, from popping to the shops to family trips up North. I've put 4k miles on it in 3 months too.....
little vodka goblin Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 We use our scoob everyday too - couldn't cope without my daily fix of "flat four burble"
scouk Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Yep absolutely daily driver! Not the cheapest way to travel but one of the most fun!
andy Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Yup. Mine is my daily and only motor. This is my second Scoob and I own this one. My last one was leased so I didn't care about mileage. Was doing 15k+ a year. Had this one just on a year and it's just had it's 10k service. Now take the train to long-distance meetings. Stress-free and not constantly looking for the Scameratti
Jamee Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 95wrx, daily drive.... parking in london is a nightmare, can't afford to have 2 cars
johnnyr6 Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 My scoob sits on the drive most of the time as i have a more fun (at times anyway) daily driver. ZX6R Johnny
gus the bus Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 which scoob!? nope don't use either as my daily drives if i did my fuel bill would be atleast 5 times what is is per month using the C1 as my main car. but they all get used 3 times a week minimum
thewelsho Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I use mine for everything, from popping to the shops to family trips up North. I've put 4k miles on it in 3 months too..... Same here
st3ph3n Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Mine's a daily driver. If I'm being honest I can't see me buying a compromise car again. Next purchase will be a track/sprint/climbs car next year hopefully. However, I'd never have gotten into tracks if I'd never owned this car.
thewelsho Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) However, I'd never have gotten into tracks if I'd never owned this car. Same here. Would never have imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd have driven a decent powered car (which is a daily driver) on a proper race track. Pinching myself... Edited July 11, 2008 by TheWelsho

Me too (but not going to my horses far tooooooo muddy use my shogun for that
micra_wrc Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 mine is the only car I've got but drive it at weekends - I take public transport to work during the week
jimser Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 as a daily driver mine would be about £15000 a year on fuel alone hence the old beemer for work. used the last car(370bhp) as a daily driver and done 19000 miles in 14 months.not very economical and hard to justify the expense to the tax man
martin_allen Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Daily driver here, about 50 miles a day if i'm not taking the bike... 5t.
delta martini Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 yup i use mine everyday (gus the bus will confirm lol)
RA Dunk Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 use mine everyday but as i work away for 6 months of the year it dosent turn out too bad for fuel and stuff in the long run
irn_bru Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I also use mine daily. Do shift work and car share with 3 work mates. We seem to get to and from work faster when its my turn to drive Colin.
braveheart Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Work abroad also, so its my weekend toy should we say .....
bigal024 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Mine gets used every day, to and from work, but only gets decent milage put on it at weekends. Cant really justify spending so much money on a car, to not use it.
badbaz Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Use it everyday, commute only being half a mile, most miles at nights and weekends, been to Thruxton, Snetterton and Milton Keynes recently, oh and Blackpool too with kids. 14k in 12 months. It's far from economical but I think it's the most comfortable seat of any long distance car I've owned. If only they ran on water. . . Of course it would be Perrier. It would have to be!
gus the bus Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 yup i use mine everyday (gus the bus will confirm lol) Who? never seen you or is it the other way round
billyboy Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Mine is used every day as well.Also lives outside and is very very clean! Anyway if i left it at home she would use it and thats a no no.
zeolite Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Mrs Z uses mine every day or is that hers?..............
wulsey Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) My scoob is the only car ive got, but its mainly driven at the weekends as ive got a company van to go to & from work! Edited July 12, 2008 by wulsey
