Seriously considering getting second car now for a runabout and keeping the Scoob tucked away for the weekends/shows/meets.

Just wondering how many of you do this..

My scoob mostly only gets used at wkes because i walk to work every day so have no need to use it,and if i have to do the shopping etc i use the mrs smart roadster,my scoob is my toy

 

I have an sti wagon that I use only for special occassions
and a legacy estate for everyday use.

 

Yes mate just on the same wavelength.Buying wife a car,to save SCOOBY for weekends.

 

weekends for me too.i walk 5mins to work and wife has a nice astra to potter round in.

 

V5 man, cos he's a big girl and cant handle the power durting the week.
Plus it takes him all week to work out and get the strength to open his garage door

 

I've been looking out for a half decent 2CV for sometime now....seriously!

 

70 mile commute everyday

 

Yup, did 58000 in my scoob in 30 months. Its been in bits for the last 11 months, and when its back together, i suspect it will be lucky if it turns a wheel each week.

I bought an MG ZR TD and the money i saved in fuel for the scoob, paid for £5000k finance on the MG, as well as paying for the fuel for it, and insurance.

Now the mods on the get serious.

 

Yep I now have a weekend Scooby Blobeye STi. Currently have a 10 year old pug 205 Turbo Diesel for the everyday 40 mile round trips to work.

 

I used to use my 205 as my everyday car but since it went to Germany the scoob is my everyday car for the 3/4 mile trip to work, unless I walk of course

although I drive my scoob everyday I only do 3 miles a day (to work and back) so it onlygets a good run at the weekends

 

I get to take my van home from work so my scoob only gets used now and again thru the week. So a weekend car it is

 

bought a td vectra for weekday use but soon got bored of that so back to the scoob, do have lots of twisties on the way to work though and not one other car on the road at 5 in the morning

 

Yep me too.......Astra for work Scoob for weekends
Cheers

Yep used to use mine every day , Well the Mrs Did

Now the scoob is tucked up in the garage all week & The Mrs runs about in her Escort Cab

Tiny...

 

car gets used every day thats what its there for.

have to go - hangover is kicking my ***.

 

Mine is for weekends and the occasion evening blast too It's a shame not to drive it all of the time but I guess that keeps it feeling special.

 

has a strange take on this to
mine stays in the garage and i use my Saxo VTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!opps sorrry, hillclimb car to go to work in!!!

wonders why i bought the wrx!!!!!!!

i remember why now!! will make a good hillclimb car in a few years

 

I use mt 2003 WRX 7 days a Week!!

 

Wendy drives it no more than ten miles a week...thank god.

 

I've got a very old renault 5 that i use during the week whilst i keep the Scooby for w/ends

 

Diesel for Work and Spec C for thrashing!

Regards,
Shaun.

 

I bought a fiat marea dead cheap when the scoob's blew and had the idea of keeping it for use during the week, was fine during the winter but summer it gets frustrating, got a williams clio for during the week now so can have at leat a bit of retro fun, can't get rid of the damn fiat though, anyone want a gold Marea (why did I get that colour!!!!)

 

Sort of the same for me, I've also got an Alfa - which is my fun / project / everyday car (yes really) and a MY99. I find having two cars has many benefits - not the least of which is that you come to appreciate the good points of both and the bad points are easily forgotten - provide they don't get too bad. I work from home so there is no regular commuting so I can (just about) afford two relatively thirsty cars.

 

Same as.

 

Get it used!!!!

Waste of a good car if you only ponce around in it at weekends!

 

i have a Daihatsu Charade 1.0 SL for the weekdays and a Kawasaki Z750 for the sunny days

 

Total waste keeping a good car in the garage for the weekends - look at how they are selling, and how much they depreciate by! For those who want to keep a low mileage on their car - WHY? Just so you can get a few hundred quid when you come to sell it? Madness. Get out there and enjoy the damn thing!

 

It's not just the mileage. I've used to drive mine to work each day on the motorway. Put 10,000 miles on it in 6 months - not a big deal. What was a big deal however were the stone chips etc that I was picking up. I now get the train and just use the car for weekends. Amazing how few stone chips it's picking up now. Also a 1st/2nd gear crawl during the week just burning up the clutch etc isn't quite as enjoyable as a proper drive at the weekend so not exactly missed.
