What do you use it for
« on: February 17, 2007, 08:26:08 »
Thought I'd see how many people use modded motors or standard motors & how many people take them offroad.

To define offroad either laning (I know they are roads) or pay & play :D

I use mine as a daily drive, we've been to the Alps on holiday (2 adults, 3 kids + camping equipment :shock: ), a couple of Belgium Nationals plus laning/pay-n-play 8)

Just a set of MTs on mine at the moment so it's still fairly standard

Same question next year and it should be fairly modded :wink:


so standard daily and off-road heading for modded daily and off-road :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Can't tick one box, I have Blue that's now modded and goes anywhere.  It used to be the family car, dogs, shopping , everything but Julie has a TDi that does a lot of that now plus I have the LSE that tugs the 'van around and goes everywhere that's not work related.

Work, I have a Micra, Julie has a Fiesta.

Mine's a daily driver when needed.
An overland vehicle.
I've only been off road once in mine. The sand dunes in Namibia.
I can't tick one of your boxes though  :twisted:

Mine is lightly modded and goes out at weekends, on or off road.
Through the week my daily drive is a corsa just to run to work and back
