SC as daily driver in wet country - UK
Hello
I'd like to hear of anyone's experiences. We're moving out to the country so I'm facing a 12 mile each way commute. Currently options are..
Keep SC as a weekend car and buy another practical modern car of some sort.
Use SC as daily driver.
Sell SC and buy a LHD Audi TT or similar from Germany for the same price.
My car's been pretty reliable so far (apart from the airbox that recently exploded) but it does suffer from the usual water leaks in bad weather. There's also a tiny patch of rust bubbles which will only get worse driving it on salty roads. And its done 95K miles so it wouldn't take much to get it to the point where I might need clutch or top end overhauls.
Any thoughts on costs of running, rust prevention, water proofing, TT's?
I'd hate to sell it and I doubt the TT would be quite as much fun but we do get a lot of rain in the west of England.
