serious off roader and your everyday transport

<< < (5/8) > >>

skip:
When you only run one motor for off roading and everyday, it's surprising how differently you access the risks of damage when on the rough stuff :)

I only have my disco Im a student and therefore cant afford more than one!

The plan is to make sure that its in as close to tip top condition as possible, that way I should hopefully be able to ensure I break as little as possible playing!

That said I do go very carefully with it- with the knowledge that I do have to go to work in it the next day!

Its getting set up for day to day use, THEN for laning and 'easy' playdays!

my elise used to be my only car and it was once off th road for 2 weeks after the pully wheel fell of at outlan park, although it would have happened sooner or later. Fortunatley I could get the bus form just down the road, to work in 20 mins so survived.

For some time I had the Elise and a Golf GTI whihc was grat cos I could work on the Elise but still get about if it was in bits. Also the Elise is not ideal for trips to B&Q.

Other things to consider is that although its spensive to tax/insure and maintain 2 cars. If you car does brake and you NEED IT then often you have to buy bits quickly or ask for extra help so wind up spending more on the repair, especially if you end up going to the main dealer.

Couldnt think of not having access to a minimum of 3 cars (just in case!)
