I have the tranny for work [work for my self] and the wife has the 110 to drive to work.
So i have to be a bit mindful when off roading but then the red mist comes down and it usealy ends up badly and i get told off when i get home.
I would like a 90 for off roading but the we have a baby on the way so iv'e been looking at baby stuff instead.R/C cars , jet skis you know baby stuff!

couldnt afford to run the disco daily, plus it doesnt fit in car parks....and in sheffield open and street parking is disappearing.
so i have a nice new focus tdci for running around in, going to paddocks for spares etc. if that breaks work will sort me with another lol...
and for really nice days i have my gsxr and for days when i want something different i have my drz,,,,so i count myself as very lucky,

but not as lucky as thrasher lol!!

I drive up to 1200 miles a week and carry a HUGE amount of stuff in my car ( Pug 406 est ).so the old disco would not cope with that, but I do try to use the old girl every weekend, as it's nice to get in somthing different after sitting in the same thing for 25 hours a week. I realise that it is expensive running more than 1 car, in my case 3 what with the wifes Vitara as well, but for me an offroader as an everyday car is a no-no.

I'm a driving instructor (for now) so I have to have a noddy car, besides, the insurance is a whole lot cheaper on  a classic car simply becuase it's a second car, so you have to think that your main car is insured for free.
