Is your V8 your daily drive?

[InfernoSR]

yes, AU2 SR V8 Auto... and love it... will be putting a V8 in my ute for when it becomes the daily.

[Sta Arhidia Mou]

T1 TL50 is my daily but i only do around 10,000 km per year in it.

[Bossxr8]

The only car i've ever owned that wasn't a V8 was a Territory Ghia, and they were all my dailys, all 6 of them. XD 351, EB 5.0, ED 5.0, EL XR8, NL 5.0 and 2 BA XR8's.

[Legit290]

i had a mitsubishi nimbus for the family for 9 years before i got my GT last year.

driving pleasure NOT

[Bent8]

Sure is...

I don't think I could make it through the day without her...

[Sam_Boss260]

Wow.... I didn't realise that there were so many V8 daily drivers. I thought that most people had them as weekend toys.

I drive my XR8 everyday, and love it. Am tossing up if my next car is another V8 or a Turbo 6.

[Teddy GT]

Yep BA11 GT man. about $120 a week to and from work. Why would you want a V8 and not drive it every day?

[Perko]

Unfortunately the XR8 ute isn't the daily drive. Have company Hilux that covers 70,000 km's year. But on a Sunday morning I do take my baby out to bring that smile on my face. Do drive it around town when doing other stuff as well when I don't need the Hilux. Not sure what I am going to do if I get the Ranger in March though...

[boss54]

XR8 everyday

[hillbillyhauler]

xe v8 wagon

[Landau Stable]

My daily. XA 351 4 speed ute. Don't even ask me about fuel consumption. Wouldn't have it any other way though.....

[Donny]

Yep, AU III XR8 manual for daily duties, still can't get enough of it after 12 plus mths owning it..
Then for a slight change of scene and sound, my manual XY GT for the weekends.

Before the AU XR8 I had my BF2 GT-P as my daily. Only thing with that is you had to watch where you parked it.

[Powdered Toast Man]

Yep - my BA XT 3V is my only car so it's my only drive. 350 - 400kms per week. It sucks bbq gas (actually it injects it) so the fuel bill isn't a problem, not that I couldn't afford to run it on petrol anyway.

Had a V8 daily for the last 8 and a half years, the BA for 5.5 years (and travelled 117000kms) and a V8 EF Gli for the 3 years before that. And 5 years before my EF I had a 302 powered XA coupe as a daily for the first 18 months of my driving career (had a 4.1 powered XC and an EA between the coupe and the EF).

[ieatsports_cars]

YEP 06 BF GT-P Do about 100 - 600 kms per week depending on where i want to go on my day's off, I don't drive my Gt to work because it sits out in the sun and people who dislike ya comes along and scratches the cars. Iam only 20min walk to work.

[my_gxl]

BF XR8 as my daily. Carries kids, does around town and highway, and does track work. Also my ongoing project.

It is duel fuel, which keeps the fuel costs down to respectable levels as it doesn't do great things running on petrol.

[Moby Vic]

I alternate days between my 2001 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and my 1995 Mustang GTS coupe.

Today is a Crown Vic day.

[hiper]

yes.
BF XR8
love it! would be nice if it wasnt so thirsty though

[Envi XR8]

yes, 2004 BA XR8, about 420ks a week. I did look at something smaller, but by the time you pay $80-$100 every week for the car, and then the $40 or so for fuel, it would cost me more to run than the ute.

[Elks]

Yes. GTE is a V8 as was The BA ute and the TS

[barnz_xr8]

ed xr8 347 stroker, gets about a km per dollar of fuel,lol

[Falcman0o7]

AU 2 XR8 in and out of the driveway at least twice a day.
NEVER FAILS.

[Rodge]

Yeap my SC GT-P is my regular daily. The odd day I don't drive it I get withdrawl symtoms

[SIMBAD]

Depends If I have just washed and polished and waxed the car up after spending so many hours removing the tar and tree sap.. I night park it up for a day or 2... Otherwise it's driven fairly regularly. A full tank of fuel might get.a week or week and a half.. Depends on how I've been driving it... Bet when ever there's the slightest road trip I'm in the yella one... Actually my old Toyota 4runner takes me to work just as many times as the GTp does.
But when I take the boat up the dam for fishing the car stays home.

[devilcv8]

Not a ford but I do 1000km commute a week in a VE SS ute. Have driven all my cars as much as I can. Why buy a nice car only to park it up and drive a sh!tter.

[dags41v]

Yep BF XR8 daily.

Same as most with car park issues etc but I just park over 2 spaces.

Cheers

[galaxy xr8]

Well I am going against the trend here as mine is not a daily, I have another vehicle for that duty.

Meh, life is too short not to.

I enjoy hooning along after work in it. Since i changed jobs i bought the EF, I really look forward to kicking it over after work.

Before in my old job had the company car (4 cyl Nissan) and it drove me bananas, even if it was free.

This, i feel that exact same way when i finish work and jump in the XR8. Love sitting in it waiting for it to warm then take off.

[BHDOGS]
