For the first 6 weeks or so I was quite happy enjoying the Sagaris say 2 days a week, during the week to work if too busy at the weekend for a blast, however the past couple of weeks I find myself wanting to drive it every day! It make me grumpy driving the audi to work!
Even took the sag to B+Q and she took a 2.2m curtain rail much to my surprise, so practical!
Anyone else find life gets dull if not getting around in their Sags? Or other trevs I guess?

totally, i agree one hundred percent.
i have to stop myself every morning and force myself to take the landrover to work (which is the most horrendous thing to drive as its automatic). i am even looking at replacing the toyota with a lotus elise s2 as a more practical everyday car that will be "similar" to the sag.
i have found that the sag is perfect for shopping runs, the boot tends to be too big on other cars causing the shopping to slosh around or fall over. but the sag nestles all the shopping perfectly, it slots in so well that nothing has moved by the time you get home. i dont know how im going to survive without over the winter
on a brighter note its going to get a spread in the P&J Your Car section on the 7th.

Entirely agree,something that can be said of all TIV`s.
My Cerbera`s a daily driver as will be my partners T350 just as soon as it`s left the paintshop,and no it never gets "less special".. probably more so.
Undoubtably a personal threshold thing but whatever,an A35 or Pagani they generally suffer through lack of use.
Congratulations to the guy who`s recently clocked 195,000 in his T350,Top Man.

i professed for months that i would be a garage bunny and not add mileage to the car throughout the year. i even limited the insurance mileage to 4000 per year
3 months and over 3000 miles later i still take it out for no reason other than to drive it.
if we could bottle the "TVR" effect, we would make millions

What is all this "survive without over the winter" stuff?
Man up. 888's and get on with it!

It's not just Sags, if I don't drive my Tamora is like a Labrador that's been left too long and she looks at me with her big sad eyes.i have to stop myself every morning and force myself to take the landrover to work (which is the most horrendous thing to drive as its automatic). i am even looking at replacing the toyota with a lotus elise s2 as a more practical everyday car that will be "similar" to the sag.

Yeah it's all tiv's, they get under your skin and its like an itch that won't go away!
When I first got my Tuscan it was middle of winter! Half past 6 every morning at minus whatever the temperature was, I would walk past the daily drive vectra with its fully functioning heaters and safe front wheel drive and 100 odd bhp and get in the Tuscan for the 18 mile untreated country road drive to work! The heating was non existent, you had to tip toe round every corner but it was always a brilliant drive!

im curious, how do you deal with the cold starts? mine sounds like a bag of nails and i can't shrug off the feeling that i am doing damage to by starting it up at minus temperatures.the water temp said -7 on its final drive of the year.
the upside to puting it away in a garage, though, is that sounds utterly amazing. i could have sat there reving the engine till the neighbours in the next village complained

Don't be a poof, there's nothing wrong with driving it in the cold, just warm it carefully, I'll be using mine any day the sun is out even if it's -10. They all sound like a bag of spanners anyway but the cars used more deffo seem to suffer less problems. the water temp said -7 on its final drive of the year.

Start car, back in house have a cup of tea, talk to the cat, wander around for a couple of minutes asking yourself if you really want to go to work, then get in the warmed up Sag suddenly BIG SMILE!!
