I have driven a mini to work for the last 4 years or so, with very little down time. I've only been unable to drive it a few days in that 4 years, that ive needed another ride. |

NAV is my daily car as well. Has only let me down 2 times, all component failures out of my control and a 3rd time where I starved it of oil at high revs while flicking it around which cost me a crank and a set of bearings to fix. Other than maintenance and fixing/replacing the 30+ yr old parts as they wear out. |

I can't add to the poll. Because my mini was my daily for 5 years. Then I took it off the road to do an engine rebuild about a year ago, and its still off the road. However, the motor comes back today and should be finished by the end of the week. It will then be my daily again. Ryan |

Used to be a daily driver, but new job in the city can't justify paying the parking fees ![]() So now it's once a fortnight if I'm lucky. So I guess one has to go... Watch this space. |

I use my BMW Mini daily.. it's now my main form of transport. I've also got the Moke which pokes its head out in good weather. And then my collection of race cars and project cars ![]() |

Mine is a daily for the last 15 years, but now if it's a stinking hot day or raining, I take the Ford. ![]() |

I drive my Morris 1100 to work everyday. I don't drive it in the rain because we don't have any. I nearly lost the Morris last week. ![]() We had a bushfire at work due to a tree falling onto power lines. My workmate saved the Morris and another blokes car. ![]() |

Only once a week. Usually on Saturday. Used to take to work on a Friday but traffic around Mascot is unpredictable and can take upto 30 mins to travel a few klm"s, just not worth it. |
