Most outlandish daily driver?
Discussion
Okay, we're always being told how mega-reliable Jap metal is, even the exotic fast stuff. But what is the reality like in good ol' Blighty? Is there anyone here who regularly puts their money where their mouth is, and takes their Jap supercar... and uses it to drive to B&Q for some laminate flooring? Anyone here using a 600bhp Nitrous'd Skyline to get to work?
To start the ball rolling, here's my RX-7 RS-R, which although a bit thirsty is insured Business Class A use, to and from work and around different offices during the day. It's often carrying lots of computer kit and you can never find it in works car parks because it's a foot lower than every other car there...
Though an unusual daily driver, I'm pretty sure this can easily be beaten. Right?

For the 1st 18mnths or so the R33 tuttle shuttle was the every day driver of choice, even when the freakishly fun Hyundai turned up. When the 'liner was off the road last summer I got kinda *into* the hyundai (and relief from 200miles from a £50.00 tank full) I'm a big believer that you can have fun in any car, making good progress in a really crappy old car is so satisfying- sometimes loadsa grunt on tap can make me a bit of a lazy driver.
So at present poor old tubby doesn't get out much, fact it'll be on SORN 'til Feb or so.

From June 03 I used the FD as a dilay driver on a round trip of about 80 miles. I actually enjoyed the trip to and from work!
Worked in town since then though so no need for a daily and the Jeep gets used for sensible stuff. Good job as the rex still isn't back from the fettlers. Did see a piccy of it the other day and the new intercooler looks superb!

Thanks for you input pwig..... Anyway, can't honestly say I use the NSX as a daily driver, but it certainly does daily drive mileage (ie 12k> per year) and laps it up. I've shopped at B&Q, Tesco's, parked in London for dinner or show's, it's seen Monte Carlo & I've used it to take me to play football so it does everything
Its what their for right 
OK I ran an MX5 (no I'm not a hairdresser!!!) as my daily driver for 4 years then got my RX7 Turbo II and Scooby WRX STi (the scoob was my daily driver for 6 months - got rid as it wasn't much fun until you were in licence losing territory) used the RX7 for a year as my daily driver (the RX has a stripped out interior and a 2.5" straight through exhaust no cat - Very loud), now I use a Puma as my daily as I was getting hacked off with getting 8-10mpg in town - not everything about a bridgeport is great! lol
