Default What else do you drive?

I know for some of you the S2000 is the daily driver and weekend thrasher but if you have another car, what you got?
My S2000 is my #1 car but I brought this old Saab back in September as a rolling project and to use as my winter run about.
now its all fixed up its actually a really good car and been using it as my daily for months now.

here she is
a 1987 Saab 900c
2.0 single carb

Last of the proper Saabs. I had 5 of these at various times including full turbo and soft point turbo ( my favourite of the 5). All of them being hatchbacks loads of room
and even slept in it at Silverstone at times. Would be tempted to have another if I could find a good one sadly at 150,000 they all were getting past keeping.
Great memories of a fun car, had a GM Saab after these but it was rubbish in comparison.

I've only been in one Saab (some 25 years ago), but loved the key location and gear lever lock-out in reverse idea. No sure if that ever becomes an issue with age, but thought it was a cool feature back in the day. It's nice to see old cars receiving some love in this throw-away culture.

Daily: Toyota Hilux crew cab
Weekender: NA S2000
Garage ornament: E46 CSL

I also used to have an Escort Cosworth, but that went last year.

Peugeot 208 Gti for the winter/wet/longer motorway trips
Trek Allante for weekly shopping/anything under 5 miles
Bombardier Movia S-Stock for commuting (though this is driven for me by a communist).
