Thanks Mark, I wouldn't want anyone to be confused about what you where driving today. Glad we cleared that up.

Just been watching a repeat of Wheeler Dealers with the Triumph Spitfire. Ed China said it was so good, it could be a "daily driver". Surely if Ed says it, it must be a legit description, no?

Its one of the more accurate annoying car phrases.
When I rant about J being used to denote wheel width I'm normally ignored.
Same as I tell people I have a racing car, its never been in a race in its life.

This is me. Although I don't call him a daily, he's called Doug 
He's my commute frequently in wet rubbish conditions car and use for jobs / places I've built my other car too impractically for.
I accept the fact it's my own fault I need a 'normal' car, but family and friends build their car likewise so it's good to have a pool car you don't worry about.

Get a better car.
Also.... Daily is for people with two cars (one of which is a special weekend car)
I don't think "Daily" can only be used by people with multiple cars (one of which a weekend/track car). I refer to my car as a daily quite frequently, as it's a simple one-word classification that the car community universally understands and explains certain choices and approaches taken when modifying/maintaining a car.
For example...
Racing Driver: "why have you not got a swirlpot?"
Kyle: "because Daily"
Racing Driver *high fives*
Lotus Elise 111R

At that point it makes sense though if I'm picking you up correctly and it's a shared car - I'm assuming it costs fuck all to run if there are a group of people running it. It's when the cost of the second car is pretty much equal to the cost of running the 'toy' that it all gets a bit www.

Yeah, the running costs are shared, any fixes are done whenever people have time but it's not run on brembo discs / vpower / premium tyres.
Cheap and cheerful motoring
