evening everyone

hope you are all well

Just wondering how many of you use a shed for daily chores etc and how many just use the scoob as the only car?

Seen a couple of posts that look like they are runabouts so just curious really

I'm using the girlfriends punto to keep the miles of the subaru but the reason I sold my vx220 and bought the subaru was to get something a bit more practical???

Hiya

It just seems a shame to have such a nice car sat in the garage all week but know what you mean about petrol - its a bit thirsty :-)

I use the scoob as a daily driver. Costs me loads but I can't afford to run another car, not even a cheap one On the plus side, I arrive at work with a smile every day of the week

we have a 206 as the daily runabout.Doing 60-70 miles per day will not do the pocket any good in the scoob.

I commute to work in a Poxhaull Corsa Wife uses the Scoob during the week. I get to play at weekends.

Plus with the nature of my job, I`d be sick of cleaning it out.

Don't turbo the 205, I had a turbo'd one (turbo technics) and it was nothing but trouble overheating, etc. Fast as **** like but loads of trouble
