My 75 is in daily use too; it's the only car I have (or want!).

Definitely get loads of looks. They're pure class, plus the Zeds are sexy as hell too

My 2002 Tourer CDT Club is my daily drive and my hobby. I hope to keep it on the road for many years to come.

Mine is my daily wheels and I often put 400 or 500 miles a week on her. I do roughly 20,000 a year. I've had her four years in Feb and she's given excellent service.

Coming up to 120,000 on the clock. She's maintained regardless of cost, oil and filter change every 5k, wash and polish every week. She's pampered and it's my hope that I'll get 200,000 or maybe 300,000 out of her. I don't want to change because I love that car.

Touch wood, she will.

Must admit though, I did see a Citroën C6 in the car park at work on Thursday. I thought I rather fancy one of those when the Rover becomes unsustainable as daily driver.

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.
I do the same mileage as you so that's why I have to run on gas. Our cars are built to use every day so use it but saying that I think the v8s should be a weekend car.

My ZT is my daily driver. I've owned the car since August 2011 and since then I've increased the mileage from 128000 to 161500 miles. I've converted the car to run on gas to help keep costs down as I wouldn't want to retire the ZT or worse still, sell it for something more economical.

Mine's an every day car, done 50,000 miles since I bought it five years ago, now on 173,000 miles.. I go to meeting to see my friends and to meet people, I take my car because the meetings are all too far away to walk too innit..

The ZX is used pretty well exclusively by Jean these days...
