It does say EVERY day......man this could get difficult.....
So is it street reg. or every day or x km/per week, or maybe to the shops occasionally or.......???
I know there's some hot streeters so surely reg. is enough??

There should be no can of worms about this at all.
The question sai DAILY DRIVER, thats all there is to the statement.
Dont care about legality, dont care about rego or aspiration.
If you drive it daily it is a daily driver. Sheish.

OK, that may have removed one can of worms - here's another! Define FASTEST. Is it fastest top speed, or fastest over 1/4 mile, or maybe fastest
around a circuit?
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Yes my orange oval is street registed with engineer reports . Has run 10.49 @ 132mph , but WOULD NOT comply with this post just yet as it is not daily
driven .
The oval is being reassembled for Warwick in full street trim and will be daily driven after this event .
The oval will not be very fast this year as it will be detuned for ULP .

My Audi has run 12.6 @ 113 so far and was a daily for 2 years before the ex moved to Melbourne .
There is an Audi in Melbourne thats dynoed 377kw atws and run an 11.7 @ 131 mph . When he was renovating he had roof racks on it to carry
plasterboard and stuff !!
If its VW only and not a VAG car then APMitchels R32 is the fastest I know of running 11.9 @ 120 mph .

Hi
To me daily driven is maybe 5,000-10,000 ks per year, to be driven on the street the car MUST be legally registered, we don't want to encourage
unsafe practises on the street.
Maybe allowances for a tyre change for the track or have times for radials or slicks.
Steve

Whatever the details, driving ANY quick bug on a daily basis deserves a big thumbs up - when my bug was n/a and in a lower state of tune (ran low
14's) I drove it daily for a while and it was a lot of fun, buut a bit of an anmial in the wet.
Great acheivement.

I really don't care at all ! they all will brake !! Good to see Col out there but browny points , Why !! I bet his ears are ringing after driving to
willowbank (what interior).
Like Dave said a daily driver can be anycar like Rods ida48 ,I could drive it everyday to shops so that is a daily driver !!
I know Col isn't trying to shit stir but how long is a piece of string ( like the out dated Berg trophy). Just enjoy your car mate please , don't
bother about Australian fasterest stuff .

according to dangerous my fastback now tuned up should be good for around 12.8 which isnt bad for a heavy tank, even if its not a daily driver i love
just taking it for a spin after a bad day at work and still manages to bring a grin to my face!!! love that turbo power!!

Define legal.... Nah mate, I agree. Daily means safe, rego, plates!, legal, and safe. and.... safe.
I agree's with steve. needs to be safe. (mechanically that is... not power wise.... haha)

My 69 pick up does 12.2sec ... in around 12.2sec ... might get across the traffic lights in that time but most definitely qualifies as a daily driver
... quite possibly the slowest.

? indicates a question not a statment!Any way my car is regod daily driven i love it.It is what it is.But i was intrested in how fast other
vws(aircooled) go to give me an idea as to where i'm at.If i had a cashlooker sorry callooker i could go to callook.com and see from all over the
world and see how fast they go but there is no daily driver vw.com so i posted what i thought was a question and didn't get 1 answer.Time to lower my
expectations again.

Kick me if you like but,,,,, the topic is Australias fastest daily driven vw. Hmmmm, for fun I might not be the fastest but i'm up there.
I do more than 5000ks a year, driven most days (who wouldn't want to), blue plated for ALL mods, and would jump in it to do 1000ks straight ( lots of
fuel stops) with out even checking under it.
Would probally be the fastest and quickest registed kombi.
Dosen't realy matter i spose, but good to see fast vws out there.

Aaron definately gets my vote cause I can vouch for the amount of street use it gets. To work and home almost every single day!!
Quickest Kombi - Aaron
Daylight - second!!
I'd like to think once i have my new engine that I could half the time gap over the 1/8 to you mate!! Currently sitting somewhere around a 4.5 sec
gap so if I could get my bus into the 8's I'd be totally stoked!! One hell of a diet coming up.... yes and driver could shed a bit as well!!
But yeah street driven to me is driven every day not just twice a week etc so it is basically your means of transport.

I guess we're getting a little off track....but if I had to have my 2c regarding daily driver, it would be your primary mode of transport. That is
you might have another car that is your "weekender", but your daily driver is what you use first and foremost - since Col's T3 van crapped its box,
I am assuming the bug is his daily, pretty simple I thought. My T3 is my daily driver but will be one of the slowest cars at warwick so I guess I
won't make the cut!
PS Col, well done on low 13, bring on the 12's!

I give a massive hats off to the guys that drive their webber fed monsters daily, I couldn't do it anymore!
I average about 22-25000 klms per year, take the kids to school most days of the week. it earns it keep. Have had the car for 18 years so thats lots
of k's.
8.3@84mph for the 1/8th, 13.0@102mph for the 1/4. 2.1sec 60ft. 1.57 around Eastern Creek, 1.13 around Wakefield. Weighs 1020kg.
Every single modification is on my Engineers certificate, my Insurance details & Rego details.
Thats great & all , but it's not VW powered. Like someone else said, massive thumbs up for the guys running their aircooled monsters everyday,
even bigger thumbs up to the guys spending the time & money to turbo & inject their vw engines, love reading your buildups.
regards
Jak
