POLL: Daily Driver or occasional use?
 
I want to see how many of us use our MINIs as daily drivers.
For those that only drive their MINIs part time I want to see how often they drive them.

Please post your answer below.
THANKS!!
  1. DAILY DRIVER / MINI is my only vehicle
  2. DAILY DRIVER / I have other vehicles
  3. Occasional Use / Driven at least 3x per week
  4. Occasional Use / Driven at least 1x per week
  5. Occasional Use / Driven less than 1x per week
  6. Other


I would have liked to make this a 'poll' but I could not figure out how to do that.

For me, number '1'. My MINI is my only vehicle and I drive it every day.

DAILY DRIVER / MINI is my only vehicle

Plus some additional track days in between for fun!

A mix of 2 and 3.

I have a beater Toyota Echo that used to belong to my wife. I drive that about 2 times a week to keep the mileage off the MINI (70 mile daily commute 4 days a week). On the weekends, my wife prefers to take her Prius V everywhere, so the MINI stays home.

2 for me if my Husband's Soul counts. On the weekends unless I have a Club event to go, or we're going a distance from home and prefer to get there faster we take Molly!! :lol: Otherwise she is the Garage Queen!! :nod:

100 miles a day goes my mini! I love it!

#1 - Daily driver every day.

My MINI Clubman is my daily driver, however I also have a 1959 Morris mini minor restored to original specs which is a very occasional driver.

I guess #2 here. My wife takes it to work four days a week and I get to play with on her days off - but we have other vehicles too. :nod:

2 - I have other vehicles, but they have their specific uses. MINI for commute and fun, 140+ miles a day. F350 4x4 crew cab dually, pulling trailers and other truck stuff. FJ cruiser, off road fun, and daughters vehicle.

I am a 2.

#1: We have two vehicles and they're both MINI's—so I'm a daily MINI driver.

Replaced my previous daily driver/pocket rocket 2006 Civic Si w/my 2013 Coupe S. its good to be a bachelor at times

Daily for commuting. Weekends for fun. And the top is down every time I get in it unless it's actully raining. My personal best was about 24 degrees F one morning.

AlexQS 04-17-2013 05:22 PM

Mark me as a 2. I drive the MINI everyday to work. Wife has the Subaru that she drives everyday. I kept my Accord for occasional use when/if the MINI is in my garage getting modifications.

My Mini and Vespa are my only forms of
getting around.

Before I left for college it would be 1. However, I wasn't able to take my MINI with me to school. But my parents, my mother especially, probably drive it 3x per week so in that case I guess a 3.

kpeen931 04-17-2013 07:43 PM

1 its my only car I have a cbr600rr for the nice days. But I have been thinking about selling my bike for alot of upgrades for my r53 : ) head cam coilovers and a few other goodies is tempting

speedkills66 04-17-2013 07:43 PM

I must say I'm a little surprised at the number of daily ( or nearly daily) drivers we have here so far.
I really did think we'd be in the minority.
To be honest I based that assumption on a few folks who live near me that use their Minis very little and seem to treat them as "toys".

Funny....My Mini is my only car but I do have a Buell motorcycle as well. I've also considered selling it to do some upgrades on my R56 MCS.

Answer #4. I have six other cars, my MINI is my Thursday car! :lol:
