    Daily Driver

    So - who here uses their Land Rover as their daily driver ?

    I know a few people who are fortunate ebough to afford their Landy (ies) as their weekend cars but I'm not in that po$ition, and drive the 110 Defender Tdi Ute back and forth to work each day.

    Yes Pedro, this makes it slower and a V8 would be better for this but back to the point about my lack of $.

    Who else among us uses their Landy as their daily driven vehicle :?:

    Prize (well, no prize really, just the honour of it all) for the member with the oldest daily driven Landy.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Mines a daily driver when I can, and will soon be because of the sale of one of the other vehicles.

    Only 23 years old, so probably not in the running for oldest.

    I use my 110 as a daily driver except for the weekends when I'm hard at it restoring one of other Landrovers, 8 in all (currently restoring a S2 Comm/recon car) and every 4th Sunday I can have my own military convoy if I can con 3 drivers into sharing the day with me :wink: :wink:but remember it's 20y.o in Nov 2004

    I use my 81rr as a daily driver. Well, I did until the engine let go of a big end [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

    It is/was one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven... Can't wait to drive it again actually. I'm having withdrawl symptons.

    Now i'm a city starlet driver

    There will be a sigh of "so what ....it's a Disco?" :roll:

    I drive my Land Rover to work because its my duty to show people that Land Rovers can go just about anywhere and I have the mud to prove it. :wink:
