Yes, but by having a second car you find that the majority of your driving experience is not in your "favourite" car.

Personally, I buy cars to drive them. Did 90k in the Scoob in 3 years. Now have a Cerb (mine) and 206CC (wife's), neither of which is very practical.

There was a short period where I was running a Pug 406 to work and using the Scoob for the weekend. But firstly I kept finding myself driving the Pug and ending up in situations where I wished I'd had the Scoob (e.g. next to a Mini Cooper S giving it some away from the lights). And secondly I couldn't be bothered to swap them round in the garage/driveway at the weekends so I just ended up driving the Pug all the time.

Now I go to work (different place) by train, so having two cars is an extravagance, let alone three :eek:

My shopping trolley is a Honda Civic Type-R, and jolly fine it is too. Lots slower than the Scooby, but the most amazing throttle response off this car, handles nicely as well (for a front wheel drive bread-van).

Citroen AX GT 1990, 110K miles. Bought the scoob for more relaxed long distance driving (<lol> that didn't work then).

Vindaloo.

'02 Seat Arosa - suffering from a nice front end ding at moment. Should be going in for cosmetic surgery this week.

Citroen ZX Volcane TD, work round trip is 74 miles so it saves me lots!! Also helps when your scooby has just popped ;)

Just swapped my Blade for a lovely Astra Convertable, to avoid having to use my beast everyday.

Got a Ford Focus on order for January delivery. Then the scoob will be for weekends, well that's the theory anyway.
