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 Attachment 69486 Attachment 69487 Attachment 69488 Attachment 69489 Attachment 69490 |
Nothing as exciting.
Daily: BMW E91 320D Summer Weekend: SC S2000 Summer commute: Suzuki SV650 |
Those old saabs are tanks, it looks tidy
daily: SC S2000 classic weekender: NA S2000 town commuter: CRF250M garage ornament: E92 BM |
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

Keeping the miles off the classic. Plus the SC car is tremendous fun and hard to put down.

My S2000 is in long term storage
118D for shopping and boring stuff Jaguar S-Type R if I want to p*ss off Golf R drivers or eat a few diesels Daimler Double Six Limo for Goodwood and Glyndebourne 1963 Triumph Vitesse (in pieces) awaiting restoration My fleet has never been smaller All of the above with the exception of the Triumph are likely to be replaced with a new batch in the next eighteen months If all goes to plan it will be obscene |
We have a Seat Leon for when more than two seats are needed or, the oldies are to be transported, although the wife got her bus pass last week and I'll get mine in 6 months so we may even use the bus when drink is likely (or even possible ) to be consumed and then no one has to be designated driver.

S2000 for looking at / walking past on the drive
Aygo for thrashing the hell out of. CB500 for not riding / tripping over in the garage. I think i have that correct - so basically, i drive an Aygo. *harumph* |
The S is my daily, but I also have use of the folks Subaru Forester for taking both dogs for a walk or for when it snows/weather turns truly apocalyptic. Pains me to admit it, but I really enjoy driving it, has a surprising amount of poke for a big 4x4, courtesy of the 2.0 flat 4 turbo.

Once my daily drive (including 50 mile round trip commute), now hi-days and holidays car:

It is mate. 1600 straight six. Can't be too many around now.
Wasn't too pleased that it cost me more to insure than the 3.4 mk2 jag I had just sold previously. Mine was early and didn't have a revcounter. Painted purple with white strip and soft top well it was 1973. |

My other car is a 2012 Golf 2.0TDi, which I've had from new. Obviously, it's ended up right in the sweet spot of the VW emissions scandal. I've had the official remap, and as it's dirt cheap to run (Tax £30, 60+mpg) I'll probably keep it.
