Since I got my M Roadster recently, I've been mulling whether to use it as my daily driver. It's already got a few k's on it (80000km) , but the dilemma is whether to keep it as a weekend toy , or to use it most if the time. (Which was my original plan) I have use of other cars, petrol is not an issue and my commute isn't so long, and is on nice country roads. I just wondered what other M owners tend to do? Garage queen or Daily Drive?
Using an M Roadster as a DD

I use mine as a DD doing roughly 9500miles a year. I only picked mine up in October so I've had to take it easy over these colder winter months. Since then it's returned 22.51mpg on a commute (18 miles each way) of B roads and motorway which I don't think is too bad at all!

Thanks for all the input! I am tending to head somewhere between the garage queen and DD positions- using it once to twice for work, plus the weekends.
I have my trusty bakkie to use on the other days.
When I see the price of fuel in the UK, I want to weep.
Price per litre here is now R12.80 , which is about 75p. And everyone here is complaining like hell.
Although obviously its a function of many other things......not least the cost of living generally here....
