Here's my reasons\excuses.

 

1. Triple plate clutch sucks in traffic

2. CONSTANT attention

3. Can't keep off the loud pedal so obscenely low mpg

4. 15mins of my drive to work is country roads with potholes and narrow lanes, and I value my paintwork.

5. Fair weather only for me as I have no traction control. This is my preference but would be daft to take it out in the rain with no TC and big wide tyres, if it came on boost I'd be facing the wrong way in an instant :)

 

Plus having to find somewhere safe to park it.

Every day. I've only got a stock n/a but still get crap mpg :(. I can never understand these guys on here with absolutely awesome machines, thousands of pounds spent on them, and they only get to drive them at the weekend.:blink: If it's not raining!?!?:rolleyes:

 

Help me out here guys. How do you get up in the morning and think: "Mmmm I don't think I'll take the Supra to work this morning I'll take the Micra/corsa/mondeo/etc".

 

If I had a car like some of you have I'd make excuses to drive it at every opportunity.:eyebrows:

 

Fair point there but as I have a bean-tin to run around in everyday it feels sooooooo much better when I drive it at the week-end. Not everyone can afford two cars though.

Use mine everyday to do a 13 mile round trip to and from work, use it in the evenings and at weekends if I'm out and about with the misses.

 

If I'm taking the two girls out as well we'll take the Audi.

 

Put £20 in each week and that lasts me just about :)

You have a good point Tony and I largely agree with you. The only thing is that I don't really want to rack up loads of miles on my nice Supra by sitting in commuter traffic. You can't really enjoy a big power Supe when you're stuck in a traffic jam.

 

If your sitting in commuter traffic, your not putting any miles on it!!
