how often do you guys drive your air cooled toys when you have a waterpumper, or "another" car for a daily car?
now that i have the golf as a daily and the beetle driving again i dont know what to do!
Comfort Vs Style 😀

My buggy is water cooled and subaru powered, but it used to aircooled when it was a beetle. I drive it as much as is practical. Usually about once a week but sometimes more. And if it's a nice day, off comes the roof and out I go. 👍
My last car before I went to college was an aircooled beetle that I drove 7 days a week. If I have to have a daily driver again, it will be a beetle or kombi. You can't beat em, even without the air con.

Usually I take the company Golf GTI to work, but the beetle goes out twice a week. Mrs Beelzebug left her MX5 at home and drove the beetle to work yesterday.
I was chuffed!

every day, clocks up about 150km a week. 😀

1 -2 days a week
I would drive it every day, but I have a company car (which I can use for personal use too), so why spend my money?
I would be quite happy driving ol' Ratty every day if the company car was to be 're-allocated' to someone else within the company that needed it more that I do (who wouldn't be that hard to find as I only work two 5 hours shifts a week!)
When (if 🙁 ) my Baja is finished the number of days a week I drive an aircooled vehicle will increase dramatically! 😀

I"ll use my beetle pretty much where ever I drive unless for some reason I want a bit more comfortable ride in a modern (albeit much less stylish) car. I usually take the oval for my G-Town transits with no qualms. Now that I aimed my headlights and can see further than 3 meters ahea of me, it's a pleasure!... until the 30 degree wether comes again...
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Daily....!!! It's not about how fast you get there, but how much fun you have getting there!
How about not often enough!!

i try to drive my Lbug atleast once a fortnight but its usally a quick burn on a sunday if the weathers nice
and the others are in too many pieces to drive:cry
i got the zook and navara for daily drivers
ah the joy of company vehicles :thumb

One or the other- mainly the buggy- every day, year in,year out. Even when I have the opportunity of taking the wife or sons car I don't as I enjoy driving my dubs. When I used to have company cars I found them intensely boring, just doesn't feel right to me to have an engine up front, I mean it's not natural, not like god intended!!!!!
