Purely out of interest...

If you do use it as a daily, why? If not, why not?

If you do, do you think you've lost that "sense of occasion" which is so frequently mentioned on these pages?

Do you face any problems driving it to the office everyday? Does it get uncomfortable?

And what do your clients/co-workers think? Or are they all slapped up with plenty of wedge as well?;)

I don't. I catch the train.
Other interesting cars driven daily have become the norm.
It's never uncomfortable. Maybe a little impracticable : costs, wear and tear, parking, risk.
It's a secret. Yes.

Does your train seat have four-point harnesses?

'Cos it costs 50p per mile in fuel costs alone!

Oh, and the lack of secure parking at some of the places I work.

Hi!

Yes, when it's with me it is used daily. It's just a car and should be used as such. I draw the line at supermarkets though.

Nothing will beat the first drive home when I collected it, but when I walk outside in the morning or see it parked up in the car park it does make me smile a little even if I don't show it. That sense of occasion lasts as long as it takes for something to go wrong! When everything is right, it returns again.

The ride is hard here in the UK. It's tiring but not uncomfortable.

Putting it like that does make it sound cheap!

Oh I dunno. £30 just to get to work and back is almost more than I get paid for a day's work!

Hi

My Son owns a Urraco and it is a lovely car and if I could I would use it everyday she drives so nicely and so comfortable too.

Have occasionally been to the supermarket (shhh!!)
