Do any of you guys use your T350 all year round come rain or shine? I'm fed up of using my Discovery as my daily driver and want my P&J to be my ever day car too. It will eradicate the cost of dual car ownership but unfortunately I live in the countryside and I fear the lanes will wreck my car. Especially as my car is immaculate underneath. I'm on the verge of changing to a 911 or some such soul less steed to use as my daily and track/week end toy so any info would be grateful. I love my Trev so this is a last resort!!
Cheers all.

I used mine several times a week all year, the first 3 years. It would be fine but won't ever look 'as new' again underneath. But then better than changing - 911's are nowhere near as interactive to drive unless you're REALLY pressing on!

Apart from thorough clean of underside in Spring, mine just needed waxoyl into every cranny each Autumn (inc. right up around the outriggers and petrol tank area) as paint flakes off the chassis after a while with stones etc. I did try to avoid the salt though, borrowing a 10yr old Focus when it was a bad spell.

I use my T350 all year round come rain or shine, even though it is no longer my only car. I use the daily hack for the run to the shops and the gym (usually where people cannot park) but try to use the T350 for everything else.

However, I would now be very reluctant to go back to using the T350 for everything as I now look forward to driving it more and always feels more special. Plus I can go over stupid speed humps at 29mph instead of 9mph!

Yeh everyday, even the snow! Thinking about getting chains this year!

Last year stuck in slow moving traffic on a very slight hill, went all the way up the hill sideways at about 2mph, Everyone giving me weird looks, I couldnt help it!
