Daily Driver
Would love to hear from anyone else out there that is using their car as a daily driver. This is my first week driving mine (just bought it last weekend). Any problems I should be looking out for?

Looks like a very nice early car.
Keep it regularly serviced and it will be fine.

Well, look what happens when you make assumptions .
I assumed Knitty is a 'he' - sorry Knitty.
I assumed ChickenJohn had a sense of humour - sorry ChickenJohn.
As for the rudeness - I can always blame my English parents for that .
Back on topic.
Knitty, go into "My Account" under the Main Menu on the left hand side of this page.
Then go into "Change your info".
Halfway down you'll see "Your location". Enter your details & then make sure you hit "Save Changes" at the bottom of the page.

I do have a sense of humor and you've just confirmed the rudeness. Humour does not translate well on the internet, a joke, sarcasm and rudeness all look the same in HTML. Its to do with 95% of communication being non- verbal. Something you should perhaps bear in mind!Scott wrote:Well, look what happens when you make assumptions .

Mine is a daily driver and I enjoy it until these drivers appear.
Enjoy your car - it looks superb.
