Default Daily driver?

Having seen the threads about people reaching over 100k in their cars i'm curious to know how many of you use your S2K as a daily driver?

Mine will be used for work and hooning alike and I expect to do 10,000 miles a year.

What do you use your car for - everyday to and from work or weekend toy?

Mine's a daily drive. I expected about 10k miles a year but due to driving enjoyment I've done that in 6 months.

Everyday work and weekend toy here.

I did 35,000 in the first year I had the car because I enjoyed it so much. The second year was quite a lot less as my job changed but I'm on 51,000 now with another 2,500 to go on over the next fortnight or so.

Such a relief to hear. With my last car anything more than 8k a year was thought to be high mileage!
