Use the G4 for social, days out, holidays. Use a L/R 90 for work commute off roading. Use the wife's freelander 2 for social, shopping etc

G4 for social,show,gatherings and mild laning. Use a 1987 90 for everyday,towing,general running about and laning...particularly rougher lanes or checking out unknown lanes. And Karens Swift if we go out and theres more than us two. The othe two motors only have 4 seats between them. lol

I use mine as a daily driver! I find it so satisfying to drive and comfortable on all journeys, also great for long distance adventures and business trips.
That said - I've just bought a Golf GTI which I'm trying to use for more of the day-to-day miles as the G4 isn't always the most practical car for the city (and isn't the most inconspicuous!). I'm also trying to manage the mileage on the D3 (thinking of depreciation, wear & tear, supermarket car park dinks etc) so I'm trying to use the Golf more for errands and just shooting around from A to B.
I bought the G4 as my dream car though so still drive it whenever I can :D

I use mine as a daily driver...can't hide anywhere but I wouldn't own a G4 if I minded being noticed! Love it and can't afford to have another daily driver to insure 😱, especially with a 16 year old daughter ready for her own car!!!

Me, it's used daily, has 139K on the clock, just put two new BFG Km2's on the rear and is used for what it was designed to do, had 12 wounderful years with it, no major drama apart from head gasket last year, it's not on LPG and no I don't even think about the fuel bill.

Wife uses Tigger as her daily driver, despite me buying her a Hippo as a run around!

Only use mine for going to Newport - once a week, or the odd trips around the valleys. (Just don't see G4's around here)
Everyday runabout / workhorse is M reg. Pajero 2800.
Off to Polperro next weekend for the week and don't really want to take my G4, cause of the mileage !!
Pajero will probably get me there and back ??

The D3 gets a little bit of use, because it's such a nice place to be....
The D2....... Well those that know me, know that very rarely comes out of the garage !!!!!
As for the family hack. Mel has a Saab 93. Great motorway car, just eats the miles.
And I have a company Rocket ship..... I mean Astra van !!!!!!!!!!
