Burnside Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Who can beat this for sheer grimness ? 1.9 litres of naturally-aspirated, heavy-oil-fuelled, French engineering excellence. Perfect for driving to Lidl to buy cheap booze after collecting your ESA*.*Other 'Daily Mail' stereotypes available on application. Love it! Pov spec Renault Diesel without trims. It takes me back to when I had my Renault 19 1.9 GTD. Was a fantastic motor and as quick as the terrible Pug 205 1.8 turbo diesel I had too.

gadgetgricey Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Also seeing daily service is the Volvo. Taken at Perrenporth?? Have not been for a few year, but my best mate has his wedding in the "hotel" that you can see off to the left. Always liked the T4's in that colour.

Jewel25 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 This is my daily driver . It isn't really the sort of car you expect a 27 year old to be driving . Still no signs of OMGHGF - yet.

wuvvum Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Most of my daily running around at the moment is being done in this. £155-'orth of diesel AX. It's a Spree, so it's pretty bog-basic but does get a pop-up sunroof. It's comprehensively knackered, but it keeps on starting every morning so I'm going to keep using it until the end of July when the T&T run out - it's got about as much chance of passing another test as I have of being the next president of the USA. Total expenditure so far has been £1.99 for a front wiper blade and £6.62 for an oil and filter change. I've done a couple of thousand miles in it so far and it seems to be averaging about 70mpg, which ain't bad. It's not the most comfortable thing on a long run as the driving position is quite cramped and the driver's seat is getting saggy, but for running the 15 miles to work it's spot on. It's nippier than I was expecting it to be too, and has no problem zipping past dithering old coots in Ford Fusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Nice! Similar to the one I was borrowed a few weeks back: A 45 TD Connoisseur. Nice car, I really liked it, just can't afford to buy it. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit Stop by barrogance, on Flickr Still going fine, still making me grin, still getting me where I need to be at 45mph.

Junkman Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 What a bunch of decadent softies (most of) you are. I am also a bit in bewilderment how many people here in reality drive totally contemporary tosh with all mod cons, warm warranty blanket, and perfect spare part availability.

Albert Ross Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 I have 100% spare part availability. That goes for the Land Rovers. 1961 is the earliest, and 1980 is the latest. All parts available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Might as well have my mingebag motors, then: 1979 Holden Commodore VB station wagon (about as early as an estate Commodore gets) converted from 3.3 petrol to 2.8 Nissan LD28 straight six diesel conversion some time in the mid-90s. Slow, smokey and noisy but an enjoyable drive nonetheless. Performs daily duties in conjunction with this: 1986 Citroen Visa GTi, a car that'd been on my bucket list (finally found out what the 'bucket' element stood for recently) since the mid-90's. Sounds a bit crap, looks quite terrible in many places but is road legal and an enjoyable drive. Was probably the only chance I'd get to own one over here, since apparently 8 were only officially sold by Citroen NZ and even those took a while to shift. Makes a nice comparison to my wife's daily: 1990 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9. Like many cars over here, it's a Japanese import but benefits from the 130bhp engine, rather than the restricted 1.9 engines many of the Japanese market ones came with (along with rear drums and 1.6 alloys). Again, scruffy looking (and even more so after attempted theft a few days ago) but honest. We live in a town of around 700 people, so have to drive everywhere to do anything, hence a 'spare' car. Never really caused us any issues, yet..... Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Cade Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 My spares or repairs MGF, that had every issue that MGF's suffer from and a few more. Finally turned it into a decent reliable daily driver to find that an open top car doesn't replace a motorbike CreepingJesus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yesterday my MG ZT-T was my daily driver then it dumped all its water, so today it’s been my Citroen Visa 17RD and the weather forecast says my Mazda MX5 will be my daily driver tomorrow!

Spiny Norman Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Might as well have my mingebag motors, then: Ooh, that's very close to being a Vauxhall Royale (or Viceroy) estate. Smart.
