Default Daily drive or hobby car?

How many members drive their 75 or ZT on a daily basis? How many drive it at weekends only? How many keep it (or them) for preserving, or showing, or just for the love of it?

To get the ball rolling, I can tell you my ZT-T CDTi is my daily drive. I commute to work, which is a round trip of 60 miles. So far I'm averaging 2000 miles per month. By the time I've had the car a year (March) I expect to have added 25000 miles to the odometer.

My 75 tourer is my daily drive.

Having said that, I am also trying to get it back to as it came from the factory bodywork wise... a long term project.

Daily driver, trips to the tip, pretty much everything. Apparently, I don't need a car just for "high days and holidays.."

Mine is mainly my holiday tow car. Apart from taking the car the last 2 weeks due to a bad back I use a motorbike to get too and fro from work. Will take the car to some friends and any distance driving. Don't take it to the shops and nights out which are not very often would depend, if going to town then no, if to the country yes
I want to preserve the car.

Yep, used almost everyday to take Hayley to work and if we go shopping/visiting with the kids etc. Probably use the Renault for holidays though simple because there's more room for kids toot..
