    How often do you drive your Series

    Hello all,

    I'm very new to the Land Rover scene but just recently purchased a Series III LWB. I'm just curious how often those with older Series model Land Rovers actually get out and drive them. My Series III was a daily driver for the previous owner and did close to 60k a day.

    Mine varies a little - I have 3 cars in the fleet and 2 drivers. The Series III is supposed to be the "play" machine, but driving to work doesn't HAVE to be a chore, does it? It ends up being the daily driver about 1/2 the time.

    I drive my 1970 2a almost daily. Great for getting around our small country town. Our dogs love it too.

    I voted every day, but in fact I miss the occasional day, for example when I go to town in the County, or when I don't drive anywhere, or when I am away from home.

    It is my primary farm vehicle, and perhaps one of the few actually registered commercially.

    G'day Folks

    I drive my 2a as often as I can, at least 3 times a week, feel safer in it than the Crummydore "The Management" enjoys it too

    And it will be at the "All British Day" on Sunday in Brisbane.

    cheers
