yes i know its a show car but i do use it for wat it was built for

I think a large majority of the ones at UD this year are daily drivers.

I don't mind occasional trailering, if the roads are bad or it's bad weather, or like scirroccoboy said, salty so long as they get driven sometimes. I undertand that you might want to store it for the winter aswel

as above, having a spotless show car and driving it`s fine- demo cars are cool , anyone seen rojer clarke`s scooby? in a magazine shoot the bloke apologised for not washing the underneath since the last "time atack" lol to have mud in the wheel arches is unheard of but still gets hammered.

Show Cars ... I see the point in them and the thinking behind them as i'm sure everyone here likes to show off thier car and would prefer a car that gets noticed and people say wow about than an old bangor (unless thats the look your going for) and A car can be someones version of art and fair enough do what you want and show it off but as said before i have no idea why people think the Chav and Pikey look is good where people just buy anything and slap it on as long as its big!

But then again why have a car that just sits there.. if like sirrocco said about keeping it as pristine as possible then ok i really get that but i'd much rather a car that looks good and i can take it to car meets and stuff without having to look back through the rear view mirror at it.

Oh and i just want to say to anyone who has a strictly show car comes in a trailer goes in a trailer kinda ride . . . . . . Ok your car may look good, your car may have a 0-60 time to shame a race horse, it may have a top speed like a bullet and more horsepower than a stallion stampede but WHAT THE F*** DOES IT MATTER HOW FAST IT GOES OR HOW WELL IT HANDLES IF YOU'VE NEVER DRIVEN THE THING?????

Pure show cars are a little bit pointless Imo but I can see where the owners are coming from - To them there not cars but exhibition pieces or works of art. Just like someone who has a steam engine or static model boat or something, cant be used for its original purpose but the owners still like to bring them out and show them off etc.
I find the show cars like Janets golf strange too - Massively specced engine (380BHP) but dosent get used to its full potential or even near it. When the cars actuall on the move it looks daft cos its covered up in blue tape to stop stone chips !

I prefer to have my Mk1 as a weekend/good weather car. I only use it when its nice or I'm taking it to shows, Its a treat and keeps it special to me.
