Question How do use yours....??????

This question is to all scoobynet members, no matter what you drive. Do you use your car for every day use or do you keep it in a garage as a weekend car. Personally I think they are there to be driven and I don't think I could have one sat in the garage without having an excuse to drive it every day. I guess I could understand if you've spent ££££'s on it I suppose. Thoughts anyone?????

Dailly driver all the way. Relocated jobs recently which meant an extra 150 miles per week so binned the celica and got the scoob - purely with a view to added entertainment on my travels!!
I havent anywhere to keep a run around - plus doing 70 miles per day - there's no other car I'd rather be in. Once the odometer turns 75k will part ex for another one!! No turning back - I'm smitten - a great day to day car!!

Daily driver, i use it for work and fun, work means driving 100+ per DAY!!!! 4-5days of the week. I drive to Cornwall at least 6 times a year to see family, costs a bomb but i dont care as its a pleasure to drive.

Mine only comes out at weekends but only because i work 8-6 in the week and would have to move 2 other vehicles to get it out saying that if i was driving a distance in an evening i'd go in the scoob.

Like me! 25 round trip to work through back lanes and I work shifts so roads are generally empty. Finishing at 2pm sometimes means a few cars to overtake....whatever it's all Fun Fun Fun!!

two cars, one for work one for play.
Scooby only comes out in the better months, or dry days. Had a paved area built at the back of the house to park my beast, intend on getting this classic mint, with a couple of mod's along the way.

My intention is to hill climb or sprint it, built for the purpose so it's almost there. if anyone has any information on those topics please drop me a line.

Two cars - one junk for taking to dodgy places at the weekend and the 2003 Scoob is the daily driver. 20,000 miles per year in the Scoob - forget the fuel - 10,000 in the other car.

Would not have it for fun only - fun every day - almost look forward to going to work because of it.

Drive it, wear it out and then buy another - get your money worth I say.

Daily user and as of last year warranty ran out so got into 12 car rallies and autotest's. The autotest's are 1st/2nd gear and wear the tyres out where as the 12 car is a navigational event with the driver having to make up time during the navigation.
