ok, so WHAT do you actually commute IN?

[rob.ellis]

Slightly different tack to CarZee's thread.. what do people actually use for commuting? Does everyone have a 'regular' car, or are there any other nutters out there using a supercar as daily transport??

I've been using an esprit as my day-to-day transport for the last two and a half years. First a 2.0 litre GT3, now a V8-GT. My commute is 100 miles a day round trip, but luckily i don't actually have to do it every day.

I've had some eye watering bills in that time as you can expect, but hey, you only live once :-) The time has finally come however - i'm looking to buy a commuter car, golf or something similar :yawn:

So - anyone, anyone?? Supercar as daily wheels?

TVR Tamora! But it is only a 7 mile round trip!

[krispy]

TVR 1600M, 60 mile round trip every day, rain or shine.

[johno]

Griffith 500. 6 miles a day. But long enough to actually get to full temp !

[johnny boy]

Same as Rob Ellis - an Esprit for everyday use.

It's only a 10 mile round trip to the office but I've still managed to rack up 13K miles in one year (almost) of ownership

Kent to the City by Coach every day

Saab 9000 to station (I do live in Surrey after all!!) then overground rail and bendy-bus (see Buses!!! thread)

While I was waiting for the X-type to arrive, the wife got ticked off at me for actually taking "her S-type" to work all the time and "puting to many miles on it", therefor I had to drive the Esprit as kind of a commuter (20 miles round trip) for the last month or so...

...for the record, the S-type (purchased in 10-1999) STILL only has 10,000 miles on it. Gives new meaning to the phrase "too many miles", eh?

The train.

Hove to London Victoria every day. (About 1 hour 30 door to door).

Bit of a bugger as I've now got the P1

[NDT]

5 door Impreza...32 miles a day plus customer visits on top of that.

I regularly see a guy in a purple Diablo (he's usually in a BMW 850 though) going the other way and sometimes another guy in a Clio V6.

...Loads of TVRs and Elises...

...but only the most hardcore travel by CRX and pedal power! (not at the same time smart arse!)

Porsche 911SC as a daily commute vehicle to school (work)
It has performed faultlessly (almost) for the last 8 years.
great fun .

Depends where I'm going. Either Toyota Avensis, or 321 (that is a BREL Class 321 Electric Train)

Aaaaaargh, shoot the trainspotter!

Scotrail's finest 4-car sprinter.

Or the Chimaera

Trouble is, Scotrail gets there quicker in the rush hour

[danger mouse]

At least the British Rail Engineering Ltd 321 is quite a sporty looking thing as trains go.....

:runaway!:

[ultimaandy]

Either my 360Bhp rwd cossie or my 526Bhp Ultima!

Its a 60mile round trip and weather can be a deciding factor (Ultima is a cabriolet!), but not the final word!

After using my TVR Griff 4.3 for 6 months as my everyday car and only getting less than 10mpg 'cos it had only just warmed up by the time I got to work (about 3 miles). I now run a Skoda Felicia 1.3LX for everyday commuting and shopping (so I don't car if some tr bumps it in the car park). .

If I had a longer cummute I would probably still be using the TVR nearly everyday.

It might look sporty, but it doesn't go very fast! Does that make it a hairdresser's train?
