Anyone Have a Winter/Second Car?

[justin220]

Anyone here have a second car, or a car for winter use to tuck the TVR away? If so, what are they?

I've got a Clio 172 Cup but to be honest the cerb has proved more reliable recently and is used as the daily run about.

Think i will keep using it throught winter too unless there is a stack of snow.

I have a mighty Micra 1.0i!!!! Beat that!

Well actually its my girl friends but she is still learning

[Orophin]

I've got a 1.6 3 series BMW! 0-60 is 12 seconds. Very reliable and economical though.

[S6 Devil]

An old M reg Peugeot 306. Cheap and chearful as a daily hack and for bad weather.

Fiesta and a Range Rover!

bmw mini and a disco 4ltr.(chim 4x4 in the making!)

[Old Geezer]

I have a very nice Audi A8. 2.8ltr V6.
10 years old and still drives like a new limo!
Cost £3k last year.
Bargain as my depreciation is next to nothing!
So overall running cost are low, even with 28mpg avg.
Spares and maintenance not that expensive if you go to a local grease pit!
Built totally from Aluminium, very light for its size, and it IS a big car!

I'm looking at what to get as a second car currently! Would like something thats ok pottering round town, maybe the odd motorway trip, and definitely something I can thrash on track. Thinking about possibly an early MX5, maybe an S1 Elise, even contemplated a CRX for 10 minutes!!

V6 SWB Shogun. 10 years old but great drive. Also can't my two spaniels in the Griff.

[RedLeicester]

2004 Audi A8 4.2 and 2005 Range Rover V8. Lots of V8s on the drive

[Blues]

Although i put 10k miles per yeear on my Chim, is not my daily drive. For that i have a 1997 V12 BMW 750. Mrs Blues runs a V8 BMW 540 sports. We like our vees we do

Funnily enough, I was thinking about a 172! Not the cup though.. But now I'm thinking about getting somethin super petrol efficient.. Hmm

Smartcar? I know several TVR owners who run Smarts as a second car, cheap to insure, tax and low fuel consumption.

Got a Nissan 200SX S14a - Lots of fun, rwd manual 2L turbo... Not much better on fuel than the Chim and not much more practical tbh! Doh!

[BLUETHUNDER]

More than a couple.

Is there any space for any luggage though?
