Hi guys, Do you always drive your Ds, city and camping, off-roads? I Used to always use mine, but lately I found myself more driving wife's Honda, when it's available (some info, if needed: carsintrend.com/2016-honda/) You know, AT, all this safety features and nice seats 
Getting to the wild is still fun, but not all the time. Am I getting old? Do you have a normal city car, maybe even a compact? For Sale: Parachute. Only used once, never opened |

Both the mrs and myself have defenders as daily drivers but I do have a few mk1 golf weekend cars to play with occasionally. But saying that the golfs haven't been out of the garage for a year or two now

I unfortunately have a company car for daily drive. The Defender is my wife's daily drive and I only get to drive it weekends

Defender for local trips is my favourite. Discovery 3 for longer drives and more seats, it's comfy too

No, but very often!
I have done way more miles in the Defender than any other car this year, just because I love driving it. Summer and winter holidays, the journey to work, and errands. Towing, transporting, greenlaning and itīs great in town - a 90 fits in almost any parking spot (apart from one or two low garages). 1998 Tdi 90 SW, 2008 Td4 90 SW, 2012 2.2 90 SW, 2" raised Trailmaster/Terrafirma Heavy Track Raids, 255 MTīs, Recaro CSīs, anorak, wellingtons |

110 is my 'daily' when I'm not cycling into work. 110 used for commute, Laning, shooting, holidays, towing stuff and running around.
RS4 for the missus, though I drive it if we go out together. V8 90 is being built and will be used as a run around when done |

I drive my Defender more than my FFRR as most of my journeys are local, if it's a long family trip we go in comfort.
For work we have a Skoda VRS which is a great motorway muncher. |

My 110 is my daily drive, covered 16,000 miles since July when it came out of the box. Wouldn't drive anything else.

In a word - Yes...
It is my only motor, my wife has a golf, long or short journey it has to be the Special, I did not break the bank to have it sitting around unused... 
That said, for reasons properly outside my control, I have only clocked 700 miles since picking it up in October... Rog...
