everyday driver

[rustyholden]

Guys have been seriously thinking about using my fe as an eveyday driver,does anybody do this and what success have you had?I know its a curly question but my wife has doubts about its ability because of its age and the fact that it would need a small amount spent to get it right.what are your thoughts?

I use my stock FC Ute as a daily driver (work horse actually) took it to the All Holden day will the back full of tools and building materials.  The only thing I did was a brake booster to increase stopping power in today's traffic.  And they work a treat.

Gday all,

As yet another victim of the GFC (I hate acronyms) I have recently been stripped of my company car (08 VE Commadore Ute) and as such am on the market for a daily driver!  Of course I don't want to shell out too much of my own cash so have ruled out going down the new car route (considering I could have kept my VZ SS Commadore ute prior to being given a company vehicle).

As such I have decided to go down the older daily driver route, Im looking at HR-HQ.  If Im going to be driving a cheap car I may as well enjoy it.  Drove my FC as a daily drive for about 12 months back in 2004 (last time it was registered), went like a trooper even with a 50yo engine that had never been touched.  Keep the oil and water up to it and it'll never stop!

Like we say in the NSW club, "you can sleep in your car but you can't drive your house"

only unfortunate thing these days a "cheap" HR - HQ is hard to find
i do think i know what you mean though by cheap $3,000 - $5,000 only time you'll suffer though is summer

[mickusmickus]

haha yes ratbox summer will not be enjoyable, plan is (and my partner dosent know this), drive it for winter and possibly a little beyond, by which time I should have my company car back, then slot the old girl into the shed as another TOY!

Things are going to get hostile if and when I have to part with it hahahahaha

do as others do when the "forced sale" comes along if it's worth $5,000 advertise it for $10,000  if it goes don't tell the missus about the profit  if it doesn't sell you've got the sad face and well i tried
