Heres mine at present:

2006 BMW 330d SE (hers)
2008 Renault Laguna 2.0 Dci (his)

I travel 100mile round trip from beautiful Shrewsbury to not so beautiful Birmingham so we swapped cars to keep the mileage down on the Beemer. Boo

Dont worry about it , I dont value a daily driver one bit as its just a to b driving. Cheap as poss is the order of the day and reliable. Her in doors on the other hand wont be seen dead in anything other than a new r/r sport because she is a kin snob. Toys thats different, many man pounds on loads of shiny engine bits and the like.

Wifes daily ( or was it mine ) has now been replaced.

The Merc C230 was using far too much fuel given I am now doing a fair few more miles.. So it was sold and replaced with 52 plate Mondeo Ghia X TDCi estate.

Sadly the very reliable Merc seems to have been replaced with a less reliable car!! There's a few faults I was not expecting for a car with only 91K on the clock. My garage thinks the Dual Mass may need doing at some point although it could go on for a lot longer, and the Fuel pump or injectors may need doing as the car has exhibited a flashing glowplug lamp... Neither is a cheap job. But the car is nice otherwise.. Will replace with a X-Type or 525 Touring in a couple of years so just has to last that long and hold some value

ive got a knackered POS renault laguna......severely used and abused for the last 7 years....also

...yamaha 100 cc, rs or summat, its about 20/25 years old and all original
...CCM 600 rotax supermoto, big bore,ported flowed head, no airbox, race exhaust and uprated clutch, beringer front brake set up....
... Kawasaki GPz 7/11 streetfighter... 750 turbo frame, 1100 engine, various bandit, gixer,zx7r,aprillia, brembo bits on her... my pride and joy... been building for past 10/11 years... hope to get her on the road ( again ) this year....

none of em are actually at my house, and none are on the road at the moment, need to get the ccm sorted, need some fun and transport..lol... ive spent about £16,000 on the Kwacka, upgrading stuff over the years and bought the CCM so i had a ride, told the wife id leave it as standard ... £4000 later and i still tinker with it...... it doesnt bode well for getting a roadster done on a budget...lol...
