Classic and modern, a question?

junkyard

I'm just being curious here but what kind of cars do you drive as everyday transport? Do you drive a sensible saloon car or an interesting modern car that will eventually become a classic? I'll get the ball rolling with mine, a 06 BMW X5 commercial and a 01 BMW M5 as everyday transport. The X5 won't be a classic I think but the M5 is almost there already.:)

God damit man, you have too many classy cars.
A 96 camry diesel turbo,2.2,Jap import, will never be a classic, infact it will probably never get old as it's a taxi and will some day fall apart and be abandoned at the side of the road.

E30: non-classic but getting rare (chrome bumpers and all that).

Daewoo Leganza: shopping trolley, dirt cheap but with all the bells and whistles-bought from a boardsie last year and hasn't faltered in 23,000 miles since.

Depending on the weather and my mood, I drive either a 1975 Jag or 1975 MGB. These are my daily transports.

My wife drives a 01 Mazda

I have a 1994 Opel Vectra 1.7TD with 232k on the clock, my wife has a 01 Avensis, and I still have my last 'modern', a 1992 Lancia Dedra 1.8 , I think the Lancia will be a classic in years to come,

Not a very exciting - but competent - car ....a '03 Astra 1.4XE with all the 'bells and whistles' (ABS, Sunroof, Alloys....)

1997 Micra 3 door. But my parents drive a 2003 Hyundai Sonata, that'll never be a classic. My dad individually, a 1993 Toyota MR2 T-Bar, which should become a classic in the future, I hope.

corktina

i drive a Cortina everyday but the family motor is a Toy Avensis....why did she buy it? drunk? no taste? sleeping with salesman? all of these probably.....but then again she thinks digital watches are a really neat idea....

I used my 1964 Pagoda SL as an almost daily car for the last 4 years, retiring it at Christmas. Have a '94 C-Class and a '03 CLK Kompressor as daily duty cars !

I miss my Classic ride so I will probably look for a W123 as a daily, not a Classic per say but definitely will be. Had a look at some 911's last week too but its the old story, the list is longer than the wage slip !!

'84 Mercedes 200T is my everyday car.

'Family' motor is a campervan.

The '72 Fiat Spider is my daily driver.
The missis has a Nissan Primera we rarely use.

alfarocks

Alfa 147 is my daily driver, GTV for the weekends

66 mini is the classic,

dailys are a Focus and a Mondeo, I did run a SAAB 900 and a 99 "classic" mini as a daily over the past 3 years, but growing number of offspring has knocked that on the head, I'm considering an E30 or another 900 in place of the Focus though

Traumadoc

I use my 1974 911 as a daily driver -but also have a 04 merc ML and a 00 Mitsubushi space runner (wifes)
