Is your dub your daily?

fekkinell · 2006-01-22T03:22:09+00:00

So how many people here drive their dubs as their daily car? So often i get comments like "but how do you handle driving such a big van everywhere" or "doesnt it break down"... of course the answer to both of these is "easily" and "no actually... its never let me down yet"... unlike my 2001 hyundai (poo poooooopoooooo) which collapsed the battery twice, and my '99 commondore which died smack in the middle of Collins St. Gladly both of these cars are no longer dirtying my driveway. So yeah... do you dub it every day? 👍 [ Edited on 22-1-2006 by fekkinell ]

The TinkerBeetle flies me around every day 🙂

Time is a great healer. Unless it's a rash, then you're better off with ointment.

Not any more... My IRS Oval WAS my daily (150,000km in aboyt 7 years after I built it) now it's a (sometimes) weekend car. I have terrific memories of fixing the starter motor when racing at Willowbank; putting on a new exhaust somewhere near Cooma on the way to the snow, beating some Wagga boys in thier HQ V8s, having a wheel fall off in Umina...ahhh those were the days

Our Notch would do 15000kms a year and we scored to best insult, the other day from a few grommets.
Grommet talking to other grommet......... Shit man, that car sounds like your old computer.😂😂😂
I gather his mate had MS DOS or Windows 95.

kopmbi was until she went ka-boom, now ratty type 3 wagon does the duties and does them well. managed to get about 900km up to Bawley point (south coast NSW) in a day, and back in a day a week later, cruising at 100kph last saturday in 30 - 40deg heat, cant believe she did that so happily 👍

My 55 beetle is a driven 'daily' by me. I work from home, so I don't actually have to 'drive' to work everyday. She's only left me stranded once. But does all my automotive duties, unless it's 35degrees+, then I'll try to scam a car with air con... or get my girl friend to drive her CRV! 😉
