Peter10 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Simple question, who uses their Z for the daily commute, drive around town and to the shops rather than just for a weekend toy. I'll be using mine for the commute etc, but it might get me to ride the bike to work a couple of times a week again . Quote
rtbiscuit Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 when i had mine it was my daily driver Quote
UNABASHED Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 mine used to be a daily runner before i got a compony car, i miss driving to work in her so much. I loved it on the daily commute and always brightened a dull drive to work! Quote
LRF4N Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Me too. But thinking of promoting it to weekend car after 2 and a half yrs as my daily Quote
Cragus Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 A tad under 2 and a half years as my daily and now its my weekend car.......and days when I can't be arsed taking the shed to work car......and holiday car (as a teacher this is often ). Quote
scottyd Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 It's my daily driver and really the only mode of transport I use Quote
DoogyRev Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Mine is my Daily drive... my office is 9 miles from my house, but as an engineer my work can take me anywhere in the country. If I have to drive 200+ miles to site, then I cant think of a better car to go in... except maybe a 370z or a GTR Quote
martinmac Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I used mine as a daily driver including long commutes and had no problems. Its semi retired now though. Quote
spursmaddave Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Mine is a daily drive 18,000 miles in 14 months Quote
JetSet Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I'm retired so I don't need to use The Zed on a daily basis. Caroline uses her roadster every day for work though but spends most of her 4 mile journey stuck in traffic Pete Quote
buster Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 It's my daily driver and really the only mode of transport I use mine too....surely thats what its for can't see the point of having it and not using it every day.also cheers me up all day long knowing i driving it home. big grin factor. Quote
Wasso Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Daily also and as said it perks up that normally dull drive to work. 2nd advantage and one that keeps me putting fuel in the car is the fact I drive through a tunnel twice a day. Hearing the V6 howl and reverberate off the tunnel walls is enough to keep me smiling until my journey home through the same tunnel. I quite enjoy pootling along in 3rd gear then see the reaction of depressed drivers as the sound echo's around them. If I was to drive her only at weekends then I'd not see the point of owning her.

Renegade Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I have used mine every day around town for nearly 3 years now, whatever the weather. Though it did not move with 13 inches of snow on it the first week in December but I drive it in a bit of snow. I get around 19 MPG around town too. Quote
Peter10 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 A a lot more people that I expected. I half thought most people would have it as their toy and nothing else. It will be my only car so until the day I can afford to run two cars, it will be my daily. Work is about 8 miles so nothing too bad there. The longest trip I make regularly is about 35 miles each way so again, not too hard going. Quote
mc Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Mine is my Daily drive... my office is 9 miles from my house, but as an engineer my work can take me anywhere in the country. If I have to drive 200+ miles to site, then I cant think of a better car to go in... except maybe a 370z or a GTR Similar to me, although my office is 48 miles away, so nearly 500 miles of traffic-filled M6 and M42 a week I might as well be in a 1 litre zed for all the fun I get . At least it gets warmed up! Saying that, I've been at home on stand-down for most of January, and was out the country a fair bit last year so my average annual mileage is all over the place. Quote

My commute is 18 miles each way and any other excuse for a drive Longest trip I have done was London to Newcastle Quote
Wasso Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Longest trip was 2,500 miles round Europe, although not one one go of course Quote
MH05 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Using mine as my daily driver. Might have to get a little 125 scoot tho for the summer commuted all last summer on my 848 duc but she had to go and I know I'll miss two wheels come the summer. Quote
Peter10 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Posted February 7, 2011 Longest trip was 2,500 miles round Europe, although not one one go of course Now that sounds like fun. Went solo? Quote

HEADPHONES Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I'm the complete opposite to a weekend driver. Use mine for the daily commute saving my other ride for the weekend. Mini Cooper rolling on 15's Can't fit wife and kid in the zed Quote

Demolition49 Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Shes my daily but i cant help but feel a bit guilty about the miles i put on her. ` Quote
