What do you use your S4 for?

Post by CliveH » Sun Sep 23, 2007 1:53 pm

It's a while since we've had a poll... :shock:

Interested to know how the current ownership is used.

(I have set the poll to run for 30 days, so that we get a current snapshot)

I voted weekend fun car. It would be my daily driver if I drove daily, but I don't. It only really comes out at weekends when we want to make the journey fun rather than just a journey.

Daily driver for me too for the 25 mile round trip to and from work. Gets the occasional blast at weekends too annhialating various chavved cars here and there...fun for 7 days of the week!
There are 2 tools you need in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape.
If it moves and it should'nt, use the Duct Tape
If it doesn't move and it should, use the WD-40

It' a weekend car... but most of the time it stays parked up due to overseas work

The birds seem to use it as a toilet too!

Mileage total gone up from 65k to 67k in a year... Doh.

Voted for a weekend car as i have a VW transporter for work as a daily driver, and we use the G F's car for little 'run arounds'.

Makes it feel even more special when it does get used :)

Had the car for 18 months now and only put 6500 miles on it :lol:

Its actually 1+2. The missus uses it daily for going to work, shopping and dropping the little un off at the childminders. I use it evenings and weekends for destroying the local boyracer contingent LOL

I voted weekend fun car, because I walk to work during the week. It gets used for trips to see mates and the occasional "blat" :)
