Daily/Second Cars.. What has everyone got?

[justin220]

As above, whats everyone using day to day? Been using my Gallardo as my only car for the past 6 months but the special feeling is starting to wear off, and with winter coming up, I'm hunting for something to kick around in...

Any ideas?

[Harsh]

I've an E46 M3 for daily play...

had to do a few bits to it to make sure it was almost as much fun to drive but for the money i dont think there's much out there to compare.

[Cactussed]

E36 M3 for me. Not as quick, brilliant, fun chassis, practical and astounding fuel economy for the performance.

Oh, and after the Capristo at full chat for extended trips, nice and quiet.

£900 Fiat Seicento. Wife uses it mainly. She moans that I spent more on the Gallardo Sat Nav than I did her car - she be right

[Chris355]

Fiesta 1.8 turbo diesel, 5 doors and in classy burgandy! Everyone thinks I am losing the plot!

[halpaed]

Astra sportive van, does the job and at least it's not white !

[crashrepairman]

IS IT A VAN? IS IT A TOWCAR? IS IT A 7 SEATER? DOES IT DO OVER 45MPG?LEATHER AIR ETC YES-ITS A VOLVO TDI ESTATE!!!!!!

[sone]

Audi A6 Le-Mans for me, fully loaded, not quick but as smooth as silk. 40mpg and a license preserver.

nice one. Do you get to keep the blue lights for your toy ?
My daily driver is a Ford F150 Lightning pick up truck. Have run one now for about 6 years. Love it as you can can quite happily burble along at sensible speed or be a bit of a hooligan if you wish. 5.4 litre V8 with supercharger. 380 bhp 450 ft lb of torque. 60 in very low 5's, 150 flat out and averages about 18 mpg. Not bad for a 2.25 tonne pick up truck that drives like a very big car.

Landcruiser - boring, but all leather, 8 seats, cruise control etc. and ideal for taking to the alps for the winter!

[AA121]

M3 CSL....perfect combo of practicality and pace for me!!

[thunderstarter]

Golf Gti mk5, Edition 30 DSG.... I love it, but I love getting in the G at the weekend even more!

[iandc]

keeping it in the Audi family, Gallardo Spyder for day to day and Skoda Fabia VRS for those special days when you want something fast but stealthy to drive!!!!

[sng45]

Golf R32 and Mercedes 350sl

[exigepete]

Clio 1.2 that hasn't got a straight body panel on it (Previous owners honest!) Perfect for the Tesco's run!

[R555WRS]

Always a good topic to respond to.

I have the daily second car choice of: -
- an Audi Q7 4.2 TDI chipped (bye bye almost anything not classed as a supercar),,, yay, but 14 MPG for a diesel on full chat,,, boo!
- Subaru Forester 2.5 XT - goes anywhere, does anything and can get 8 Wickes internal doors in it in one go (plus me!!)
- Lotus Elise Sport 190 that's gone nite nites for the winter.

Sorry but bored sitting in a Hotel room in Toronto!!
