Just a pet hate. Nothing to lose sleep over. I dont have a problem with Richard, seems like a fine guy, but those type of post annoy me, instead of "i do, what do you fellas do?" not hard to write is it. And yes, I know its pedantic, but its my opinion, to which I am entitled.

And yeah I ask questions.

Like "how is the flow rate of a cylinder head measured" or "anyone got any pics of a WRC back end"
Questions I cant offer my own answer to, to get the ball rolling for instance....
I also ask stupid questions though

The Escort, No.

the Focus, yes as it was bought to be exactly that - a daily car.

it goes in the garage over winter. but soon as summer comes i swap the insurance over and put the daily runner away. nothing beats driving to work in a freshly valeted RS on a crisp summer morning, wakes me up a treat

I wish i could! It hasn't been out for nearly a year. Almost no point in keeping her anymore. If i had secure parking at work, or at least close by, i would bring her into work every day.

Not maybe a proper RS, but yes I do.
I can't even imagine myself driving some boring average every-day car...

I just love the thought of getting up in the morning and thinkin mint im going in the cossie. To be honest though if my car was mint mint i wouldnt use it in the winter. I use to use my dads car in winter then put mine in the garage but he has sold his car now. Since i need my car to go to work in it just sits on my drive getting covered in rain n snow n shit.

I can do and have done many times when i've nothing else spare to get me to work everyday - just the daily 15 mile round trip to Ł10 of fuel is more than i can afford over long periods
however it's been there to use when i needed it and has got me there and back with no issue, so i'd trust it to use everyday again

My first 2 were my only cars at the time so got used and abused and broken daily

One of mine that is being built will be kept at work I think and used when its nice out, and the other is on the drive to be used as and when I fancy, whatever the weather. My Vectra is my reliable, touch wood, everyday car for now
