Everyday?

[Rawwr]

Just out of curiosity, does anyone use their Italian as an everyday car? Does anyone have an Italian as their only car?

Just wondered

PS. The term Italian applies to something with eight cylinders or more.

Yes, have a Gallardo which i drive every day to the station.. used to have a 355 and a station car and never drove the 355, so learnt my lesson. IMO, cars are supposed to be driven, not admired in your garage.

How far is it from your house to the station?

7 miles

The answer to your next question is about 4 1/2 minutes

Heh, very good

Ever had any problems due to repeated short distance runs or, as I presume, it's countered by weekend usage?

No probs so far, i think the drive is about long enough for everything to get up to temperature etc, and i'm not in traffic, so gets a good blast each day.

I commute through London every single day in a 360 and even do the odd delivery to clients
Its my only car so I have to use it for Tescos, work commute and European hoons.
On 114,800 km now

There are a number of guys on here who use their cars as a daily.

Judging by the cars I see on the way in to Central London every day, I would say there are a lot of guys using them as every day cars. I applaud every one of them (not literally, you understand)

I have to hand it to you, that's quite impressive

9k miles in 6 months so far........

ok, not actually using it as an everyday driver, but it's easy to see how it could be.
in terms of costs, it's not prohibitive if you use a decent independant

reliability is on a par with my M3.
however i stress the importance of finding an independant who you trust and who knows what he's doing.
those are the guys who will keep your car on the road without it costing silly money.

I drive my gallardo everyday and its currently my only car. 5k in 3 months and counting!! It gets far too much attention to leave it at home
