What with petrol prices rising all the time and I am now having to do a 70mile commute each day, I thought I'd buy a runabout car to try and save some petrol and mileage on the scoobe.
Why not post a picture on this thread of your runabout car

Not really a runabout car although it is my daily driver, got it due to being really cheap to run, £0 road tax, 60's to the gallon and quite good fun to drive with a lot of extras bolted on

 

This is mine: Yes its a Skoda Octavia lol (1.9 TDI Auto) Its actually a very good car-cheap to run, has all the extras (air con etc) & massive boot space which is fab for picking up engines etc, and for the stables. I can leave it anywhere and not worry some little ****** will nick it or bash their door into it like i do with the Scoob! But best of all it only cost me £100 as it was going for scrap at the dealers my other half was working at at the time. Had a look on flea bay then i got it and they were going for roughly 3k! So cant complain really its worth its weight in gold!!

 

my daily drive is my scooby only go 6 mile a day back to from work , should really get my lazy **** on a bike

 

Legacy GTB

 

1.2 3 cylnder drives liek a treat and is great in fuel

 

She will be gone in acouple of weeks after 10 years and only 39000 miles

 

Here is mine ( the Golf not the neighbours Corsa )

it's a 2004 1.9 TDi SE and does 55mpg average



Preferred having this on my driveway though

 

Nice runaround

 

 

Johnybon - Is that your other motor parked in DT's driveway?

 

CLK430

 

My daily runaround

 

got this for the mrs clio 197 F1 EDITION i have the odd play in it (go kart handling)but uses nearley as much juice as the scoob



also got a MERCEDES C200 CDI SE SPORTS COUPE for the long runs but like to use the scoob as much as possible

 

That looks a beauty.......

 

i wish thats a very nice one my other cars are these
