Yes plan on it being summer car and put away for the winter and get my Landrover out,
I want to get one that is the cheaper tax but low mileage so ideal one 03/04 low mileage
and then keep the mileage down and hopefully keep for years doing little mods here and there,
that's the plan anyway

Mine has been a daily driver for 9 of it's 11 yr life and is now semi-retired to be a dry day car.
If you intend to use it every day and keep it for a while, get it undersealed every couple of years, get the bushes greased and pay particular attention to the rear arches. Otherwise there's no reason not to use it daily.

Everyday, can't afford the luxury of 2 cars just for me! Wouldn't change it anyway. Saying that, if I had to do big millage daily I'd have to rethink, I get serious back ache on longer journeys.
Yes I've driven down to London and had no prob's, the seats seem to get better the longer the journey, very comfy.
OP - Mine's used everyday for commuting, plus if I don't use him for one day at weekend I start to get itchy feet and find excuses just to go for a drive.

Our is the wife's daily driver. Except when she needs more than 2 seats then we swap. Kids are off-school for summer hols now (as is the wife as she works in a school), so the S2000 is mine till Sept 
Regarding the seats, I find the S2000 one's really comfy and have done a few several hundred mile trips in it.
