We have a slightly different concept, wife has a Fiat 500 (old one) and I spend all my weekends under the ****** (the car, not the wife).

My scoob is weekends and nice days. I have a Mk3 golf driver as a daily. It doesn't look pretty but its been in the family for over 10 years and 90K so its a bit like an old sheep dog. Smells like it too.

My classic style Mini Cooper with the full sports pack which is nearly all fettled up and sprayed up to look respectable.

Needs some work at the moment though - two tyres and we have a new engine to go in it too.

It is surprising how much work you can find to do in such a little car! All worth it in the end though!

My brother in law has an old Jag/Daimler coupe (V12 I think) .
Only takes it out at weekends ,probably due to the fact it does about 10 mpg!!!!!

My Scoob is for weekends/fun.

I have a 306 D Turbo S for work which i'm currently driving very sensibly trying to see how many miles i can squeeze out of a tank, i'm at 230 miles done with just under 3/4 tank left

It's not particularly old, but it does tend to get used more on sunny weekends:

actually I have been driving it to work everyday for the past 2 weeks, as its my only car since I sold my Scooby, but in any case i drive it whenever i can weekend or not -- very easy to drive, comfortable suspension, which means it sits slighly higher on the road, so no problem with speed bumps

the third picture shows a boxed out section, this was to give the peddle box lots of room -- often a major complaint from anyone with big-ish feet

also the roof line is raised so when its got the hood up there is much more headroom - actually if i,m honest its nicer to drive (in all but the hottest of days) with the hood on, much less wind (and its much faster)
