I was dailying this till recently. I've put it away for the winter now. That's my 15 year old son on a track day a couple on months back. Down in the lower paddock at Brands Hatch by the looks of it too Did the lad enjoy the track day tho? It's www.teessideautodrome.co.uk/ £30 for three hours. Quite hard work. He loved it. He wants it as his first car.

There was a rascal there the last time we were there. It was on two wheels most of the time.

Thanks for the tip on photos, hopefully this works! Here's the IS, all original but with IS250 alloys, which suit the car well: Very nice. I drove this daily until I got the itch again. But it was too good to sell so my 82 year old dad is driving it. 2002 IS300

My usual daily since 2012. I say usual because it's had some periods out of regular use for welding and other work, but the back-up has never been any newer than the '97 Xantia or Maestro that I've used, so I've always been tooling about in retro stuff.

One of these is my daily retro. It's been on taxi duties today to get someone else to and from a garage.

My 1980 Dodge Aspen "Air Morse One". Over 16 000 kilometers this year already and I'm thinking of keeping it on the road this winter too. In fact, gonna change the tires tomorrow, getting ready for the winter. Photo is from October 19th when we had the first snow this fall.

Was only meant to be driving this little rollerskate for a few months whilst my main project gets a full body colour change, but due to delays and since the pandemic shut down the bodyshop for most of the year, I've been scooting about in a Fiat Cinquecento Used to own a 126, which, strangely had comfier seats. Although on longer trips, the Cinq is certainly comfier on the ears.

Hi guys! Just joined up here. I daily two: This is Pico, he's a 1991 Proton Saga 1.5GL and is my pride and joy, a bit of a local celebrity too, it seems! And then I recently acquired Sylvia here, who's a '94 Favorit Estate Silverline: Slowly getting them both back to their glory, though both are in pretty good condition all things considered!

At first I wondered if it was in fact yours, but seems this one was a year or two younger.

This was my daily for the past 9 years until last year when it was taken off the road for a load of welding. Driving something new isn't 1/2 the fun, though the extra power, air con, power steering and all the leccy goodies are nice.

This has been my wife's daily for five years, and it's done 62,000 miles in that time. We've recently bought another car to ferry the kids around in so this doesn't take such a beating, plus she's now doing two days a week so we'll give it an easier life from here on in. We bought it from the original owner in 2015 with 85,000 on the clock and 17 Lexus dealer stamps in the book then drove it to Bonn, Munich, complete the Grossglockner alpine pass, down to Venice, then Monaco, Dijon, Paris and back to London.

This has been my wife's daily for five years My wife refuses to drive anything that doesn't have parking sensors. Hence none of my cars have parking sensors.

I dailied retros for my first 18 years driving. From 1998 I dailied a Ford Prefect, Ford Anglia (which I’ve still got) Ford Pop, flathead powered hot rod, the Anglia again and a Citroen Ami 6. Anglia and Ami here: Then bagged a job iwith a 57 mile commute each way and conceded I’d need a modern. Mrs Seth talked me into a G1 Honda Insight. Then got an actually modern car for a year but I didn’t like it, so I’m back in the Insight again which is great fun! Citroen is sold and the Anglia hasn't moved for a while, quite a while.
