It's Drive Your Classic to Work Week starting tomorrow. Anybody else driving their Minor to work this week? (See page 6 of the Sep/Oct edition of Minor Matters).

).

Check your Insurance Certificate first - it may well exclude driving to or from your permanent place of work. And if you claim that you work at various sites, your usage could well be classed as "business", which is even less likely to be covered.

i drive mine to work everyday, around 250 miles a week anyway, oh and to holidays, shopping etc
its the only car i have

cant really see the big deal about driving your moggie for one week and then not using it

Yes, I see your point! I suppose any event like this which encourages the cars that don't get used every day to come out onto the roads can only be a good thing. It promotes the use of the cars and hopefully might inspire others to buy one. And with the on-going debate about getting more "younger" owners involved with the MMOC, it should be a constructive exercise...

Kevin. Thanks for the concern, but bpr81a does have "daily business commuting" insurance from FJ. As he says "Berie" is used daily into B'ham.

and my insurance covers me for commuting to and from my normal place of work

otherwise we would not be able to drive them

Well - it's raining cats and dogs today - so my car(s) are very definitely NOT coming out to play......

Minors like weather (50 years ago they were out in it every day - what's changed - the weather certainly hasn't!)

Just make sure the windscreen wipers work!

I am indeed scared.......

My minor's already at work - in a collection of plastic boxes, bin liners and bare shell.

Oddly my 1987 modern/bland/boring Ford Escort is covered under a classic policy (no I dont get it either..). Does that count?
