What's your other car?

[Harvy500]

Can't see many people driving a Griffith as a daily car. Surely 99% of owners have the Griffith for high days and fun days.
Just interested to ask what's your daily/work car?

Mini Clubman R55 JCW
Also quite some fun and the Little Dane can join in as well.
Sometimes it (the Mini of course) also has to tow a trailer for the rough stuff, which amuses some people a lot.

I drive a 2006 Volvo V70 D5 (brakes borrowed from an XC90) hybrid turbo, large alloy intercooler, bespoke remap, big exhaust, carbon fibre rear tailgate spoiler, carbon wing mirror covers.
Goes well and as time of typing, average fuel economy is 45.6mpg.
Just sometimes, I borrow my daughter's mini Cooper s R52 convertible. What's not to love about a supercharger whine noise? It's my fault she's got a Miltek stainless exhaust. Lol.

I'm sure she loves it and she's certainly the coolest girl in the whole neighborhood.

Wife has a 2004 Golf GT, which is in a constant state of repair, but she loves it.

I have a BME Z4 Coupe. I totally intended to have it for 2 years and then sell, but I just kept it.

The next car will be something boring that I can fit my bicycle into and is comfortable (I was 21 when I got my TVR S3 and 23 when I got the Griff), I am not middle aged and do somewhat dislike driving unless it is in the Griff.

My Mrs drives a Mk 3 Renault Megane convertible. It's the 1.9dci. she loves it. Being a Renault it's got a couple of odd electrical issues. Nothing serious but near impossible to trace. Never mind, my Volvo keeps plodding on.

Ours is ... not healthy.... this morning I was out before stripping the rear caliper as it got stuck. The HVAC system continues to vex me and it had a water leak that took me a year to trace and finally fix.

Daily drive through the salt of winter roads is a now 20 year old mk1 Focus estate. I’ve had engines, axles, subframes and various interiors in the back of this. I’ve a few toys but this car just plods on, is comfy and extremely reliable.

RS6 and Mini Cooper S are my Griffith support vehicles

If that’s yours it’s glorious.

Yes, mine for many years while sorting it out, they are nice to look at but totally impracticle for a journey of any length I will probably try and shift it later in the year .

Its surprising how small it is I find it very cramped to drive and I am only 5-7". Its a shame not to be on the road as its now totally sorted. A good car for someone. Unlike TVR's parts are difficult so quite often one has to make them or get them made but they are very simple and straightforward to fettle.

FFS, as I told you all before my Mrs Drives (drove but highly unlikely to happen again)a Renault Megane MK3 cabriolet. She got hit by another car today.
Renault 99.9% a write off. Other than the obvious damage, wishbone ripped out of the subframe, door Pilar bent and hinges torn.
