I did use mine for the first 3 months as I sold my regular driver to fund the cos....

Did'nt enjoy it much to be honest. To much hassle, picking parking places, worried of it getting broken into, bit's going missing etc....

i did for my first 2yrs of ownership, not its my second car

cossiestu

Used to, with very few issues. Then got a cheap runabout from work, which, id say, gave more trouble than the saff! Now got a company van, which is my daily. Free to use, can't be bad!

Ive used mine as my daily in the 6 years of ownership and will continue to do this.

There was a few winters where i put my car away for the winter put this winter gone i had to use it through the winter.

It does cars more harm not using them.

I used to run mine every day to work and back and had no real issues other than the amount of petrol is used!

No, it's too much hassle as said, worrying if it's still going to be where you left it when you return or damaged etc, the car itself would have no problems what so ever barring this.

I use mine everyday in all conditions

Why would you need it? If it's maintained correctly etc (as with any car) then there is no reason why it would let you down.

When the salt's off the roads I use mine daily. It's a sensible 4 door saloon car after all - loads of people got them as company cars back in the late 80s/early 90s.

New fan loom, pump loom, extremely reliable

casper88

don't agree glenn, my escort has never seen a salty slush covered road, a car sat in a warm carpeted garage over the winter months is going to fair better than one covered underneath in salt/slush/dampness!!

Im about to get my escort out of the garage this weekend and I haven't used it since early september, it won't even need a wash!!
sat in that garage over winter is doing it no harm whatsoever

Hell no mine's not a daily

Rot aside, I'd need shares in opek first

iTrader: (1)

I would. Why not?

iTrader: (1)

What i ment was that leaks start to appear due to oil seals going hard and coolent pipes perishing.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Nice to see im not the only one that uses there cossies daily.

Ive used me a few times to go to morrisons in.If i had a escos or a 3dr i would properly think twice about it.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Lol thats mad.

xr4x4rs

iTrader: (5)

I used to use my Escort daily for about 3 year, then it was pretty much off the road for a year or two. Finally got it reliable at the end of the summer last year, so starting to enjoy it again now.

no mate its dark blue. although ive seen a dirty looking white one about a lot.. i saw the green one going over the speed humps and you could hear the exhaust hitting the ground really hard.. ive never seen it clean always filthy. the first time i saw it was about 9 years ago filthy and i probably saw it 3 months ago looking proper shite.. its always had dents over it.

i used the one in my sig as a daily even left it in pub car parks (never overnight tho) only stopped using it daily as i have moved house and now have no drive and can only park in an unlit alley way 2 minutes walk away and there aint no fookin way im leaving it there overnight!

iTrader: (2)

I used mine every day for about 3 months a year a so ago and it was fine apart from worrying about leaving it places and the cost to run it. Wouldn't like to do it again really, much better just kept as a toy.

Mine gets stored in a warm carpeted garage and is fine... It gets used on warm nice days... And I enjoy it more.
