Maybe a "drivers car" isn't about it being your main form of transport.
Its about having that garage with something in it that in your leisure time on sunny days you take the cover off of it and drive it ten miles before returning it to its cossetted cocoon.
I suspect this nirvana is what these people speak of.
Sadly I'm more prole than that pipe dream. Maybe that's why I don't really get it.
Even my forthcoming GTI is a luxury beyond comprehension for all of my life, only made possible by me gambling on my mileage being far less than it ever has been for the next three years. If I've got it wrong then it will need to be gone.
One thing is for sure, next stop is a milk float
