Daily driver is a 2007 2.7Diesel Sport Jaguar S-Type, now on my second S-Type diesel & love it to bits.

Used to have a TR7 V8 but that was sold just over a year ago to a guy in the IOM. The plate on the 7 is now on the Porsche.

My Porsche is my daily driver. My wife’s car is an ’03 Mini Cooper. Our garage is full of boxes of junk, not cars.

It's a converted TR7, TR8s are too precious to hack about & it'd really need to be kept standard which I didn't want to do.
Mine was actually a Californian shell with my old bits built into it, as a lunatic in a Securicor Van hit the previous one & trashed the shell.

Daily driver is a '97 VW Golf 1.8 Driver. Few bits changed to improve the handling.

Otherwise it's pedal power in the form of a Trek 8000 racer for the journey to work in the summer :!:
