Your Old Skool daily drivers!

so who is brave enough to drive a classic/old skool car as their daily?

Me? I drive my MK2 Polo ('83) everyday.

Who else has an old skool daily?

Ohh and pics are a MUST!

My 1953 Rover is in regular use. Can't claim it as a daily driver, as I commute by train during the week and so only use the car at weekends. It is, however, my main transport and used throughout the year.

Always see you about in it, Dad came home the other day and said how he saw you out in it, and I think it was RAINING!

Use it in all weathers. Went out in it yesterday while it was snowing. Only problem was that the wipers could barely keep up with the snowfall.

Now you know why the underside gets a good spray of waxoyl every autumn (well, most autumns).

I drive my Escort everyday, well untill it breaks down, so i drive it evrey other day





Tom.

Cool pictures!

Like the pics Tom, The escort looks in really nice condition how long have you had it mate?

My daily driver will be 40 this time next year and has been my daily driver for 20 odd years, never had a modern car and would never want one.

Cooler than a cucumber!

Haha Ironically I don't like the beach/sea. Just that the person who owned it years ago was a friend/relative of my Dads so used to spend quite a bit of time down there!

WINNER!

I hate sand, get proper on my nerves and I can't swim!

Would love to learn to surf one day though!

~Lee

You don't need to go to the beach to surf, come to the swimming pool with me, when I jump in EVERYBODY surfs Hahahaha

Nothing to be proud of mate!

Think you might need to learn to swim first before you learn to surf

I might have implied that V dubbers would know where it was due to their superior intelligence rather than their skill in surfing

I prefer that idea

Sadly the only photo I have left of my Bug
Did over 100,000 miles with it in ten years.
!600 full toughed lightened and balance flywheel and crank.
Full race Camshaft, was supposed to have gone in a formula V.
Two Twin-choke 40mm downdraught solex.
Gearbox was also non standard, crown wheel was also ex F/V
One thing that should have been done was heavy valve springs as the valves used to start bouncing at 4500 rpm.
0-60 in just over 7 seconds, never had it flat out but had it up to 125 mph
Did the M3, Egham to Winchester in 23 minutes
And at 36mpg not to costly to run.
And with the suspension relay sorted, around the coast of Wales used to leave the bikers

Very Very Cool!
