Our daily drivers seem so boring now- but it wasn't always thus:

between 1994 and 2004 when I bought the MGZT-T my daily driver was my 1991 Hartge H26 (still owned- recommissioned last year after being laid up in my barn)

It's 2 times French !

The first is the winter car and still running, despite the colour everything is in good shape. :bag

And, it's slow with the 1.8 D engine.

The summer edition is an original 205 CTI in perfect condition.

Mines a VW Passat Bluemotion - so exiting it wont have its picture taken. Until I retired I always drove 5 series BMs - cant afford them now !! The Passat is real economy motoring - I really got 71mpg from Birmingham to Glasgow once at a steady 75, but its soooooooo boring

My boss had a great brainwave and decided to change my 118d for a fcuking toyota prius.... What a bummer, what a crappy day.... Did I mentioned that that piece of crap is dark gray or mouse grey? Just brilliant...

Change is due last week of June, so I'll take my 118d for a spin the next couple of days, just for te sake of it.

Oh Shit, Are you comming to a meeting in your shining new Prius then?

If it must be something like that then give me the Lexus version.

i got beaten in a race with a prius when my car had a 1.8 m10, a week later the engine was taken out for an m50. they are not that bad looking - to be honest you might be better off as its a tax refund in this country of 4k?

Well, in NL I drive it stricktly for business, and with a kmlogbook it costs me nothing at all. But that goes for all cars, so wether it's a BMW 320d F30 or a prius, it's all the same, €0,00 for me.
