TR4/4A Any daily drivers?

I do. Of course, I also have a "family car/parts hauler" available as an alternate, but I don't drive it unless I absolutely have to.

Not sure which I find more amazing, the number of people that have no idea what it is ("Triumph? Who makes that?") or the number that do. But it's all good.

My TR8 is (was) my daily driver. For the last year and a half my employer has asked me to provide my own office space at home, so my commute has been significantly shorter.

The last time I brought my car to work someone backed into it (no note mind you). Fortunately, like Darrell, my commute has been shortened to my garage. :smile:

Gave up daily driving my 4A in 1990, so I held out a while-winter rust an no A/C in the summer led to the decision.

I have been driving the TR250 from Brentwood to San Jose almost everyday 140 Mile round trip. My Mom is with Hospice and at home but not doing well, so the ride home is very therapeutic . I have been driving it two weeks now and look forward to the drive and seeing Mom. I hope that I will be making the drive for quite awhile.
If you can go visit your Mom, She is special.
