Still have mine, (always will) garaged at the moment though.
I'm using an Accord as my daily, I couldn't justify putting 1000 miles a month just for work up on the FTO.

97 GPvR as a daily driver only at the moment due to new taxation system :)
Only one ever build 1.3 turbo Fto, 0.7 bar on stock internals...because your imagination is the only boundary :)

99 GPvR. Daily Driver for the past 6 years. I just cannot get rid of this car. It's seen me buy a house, sell a house, get married, have a child, and buy another house. I might just have to keep it forever. Never thought I'd keep any car this long, but I really do love the FTO and it's been the most reliable car I've owned.

I use my bike to commute to work but I use my GPX for everything else.

I'm thinking of getting a 2nd car which my missus would call quieter, more comfortable and easier to get out of :D for the long trips back home but I'm never going to sell my FTO.

FTO is under good care in Bernard's for the time being. Least I've kept the mileage down the last 2 and a bit years!
