Yes, mine's a daily runner, as it's the only car I've got.

It gets used every day, several times a day smile

Mine's a daily runner & has been for 2 years... but not for much longer.

I'm going to start cycling to work, and the car is going to be SORN for a while. The credit crunch is biting & I need to make some savings. It's in great nick, but not worth selling at the moment. I'd only get about £1750 but its worth so much more to me.

Mine had been a daily runner for a year and a half (450 miles a week) and I enjoyed every minute of those miles.....apart from when the battery went flat and ermm......when I managed to park in such away that the small fuel that remained ran away from the tank and err....When the turbo failed and sounded like a police siren... rolleyes

But apart from that great thumb very flexible on the motorway with not having to drop from 5th gear to do overtaking manouvers.

Now I don't have to use it in the week because I get a lift in with another collegue so it's weekend fun only tongue

Yep, mines a daily runner. Actually makes me want to go to work I enjoy driving it so much biglaugh

My work run is all country lanes as well. Shame its only a 10 mile run! There are no traffic lights to go through though and very little traffic... there is the odd snail to blast past! love
