Your workhorse

What do you guys/gals drive for work (not including company cars here)?
For my job, I have to drive a Peugeot Partner (tell me about it!). It's fine day to day but upon off-road/snow/wet leaves it's crap.
To be fair, I've got a soft spot for it, it's done me proud. I can't help but think though that I should be offered a Defender for my duties

What are you doing? My Berlingo was fantastic in the snow and off-road, ok not up to Defender status, much but better than most vehicles, I used to work in quarries in the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, so it did get some hammer.For my job, I have to drive a Peugeot Partner (tell me about it!).

My work horse is an S2000. I'm doing 60 miles a day in it just going to and from work 5 days a week now. I did have a golf TDI for 100 miles a day, but got a new job closer to home that meant I was doing 50, then moved 10 miles further away.
Going from permanent staff to contractor has meant I can drive a car that satisfies the petrol head in me for a considerably lower percentage of my take home pay than before.
Most of those miles are quite mundane and I did think a few weeks ago it seems a shame to be putting those type of miles on the S, so looked into getting a snotter. Found one and then the insurance co said it would be around £400 to add it to my policy until the end of september!

Currently an oceanographer in Norway. The Partner, as I mentioned, is fine 9 times out of 10, and has developed a soft spot within myself. Doesn't help make you think you should have something a little more 'capable' though.
