mikeyb10supra Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 How many of you use your supra as a daily driver and roughly how many miles do you cover each day.....just was interested how many do and how many use it as a weekend and evening car could post up a poll maybe??

Supragal Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Even when it's back on the road it'll be a weekend car. We've got a Rover 214Si and a Mazda 323F for daily use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a Rover 214Si and a Mazda 323F for daily use. read your other post about the car or house......tough decision, I would still keep the car.....does'nt matter how long it takes to build, or maybe consider selling a few bits and going a bit milder, it really is a personal decision, imo I would go heavy on the exterior for a show car and a little less emphasis on engine mods. everyone knows how fast they are already.....maybe you could use a few of the engine parts you have and dress up the rest ie crome it, coloured hoses, colourcode etc??

Ian R Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 At the moment I use as a daily driver as I only have to travel about 4 miles to work but due to move soon so will buy another car and then it will be mods galore !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Mine's a weekender: I'd already got a runaround (see sig) when I bought the supe, and it's pointless me selling it (only worth a pittance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Mine will be a weekend car when I get it, sitting in the garage the rest of the time. At the moment I usually drive to work in the orion I bought for the gf to learn in - beat this - it's less than a mile each way :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Only use mine once a week, sometimes not even that much. Been like that for the past two years. Never more than 150 miles a 'month'. Dont ever need to go anywhere in it, if I do go anywhere its easier to jump in the 306 than get the Sup out the garage. Although if its a nice sunny sat or sunday, its nice to jump in a go for a quick spin. Taking it off the road for a while now to finish off the fuel mods and stuff.

geoffvalenti Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Mine's a daily driver, I work in different places every day, so mileage can vary from 1-100 per day. I've been down the route of having a weekend car and a "normal" car for week days. In the end you spend a fortune on insurance and spend 90% of your driving time in a shitheap. You always have the decision, shall I take the good car or the crapper? and most times decide to take the crap one, incase something happens to the good one. With only one car, that decision is eliminated I do worry about parking in public car parks and the like, I'll always park as far away from all the other pillocks as possible, but at the end of the day, if someone hits it or scratches it, that's what I'm paying obscene amounts in insurance for I find it's a good reason to look forward to going to work, the journey's always the best part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
