I'll start the ball rolling:
Currently under construction (again....)
but:
Weekend warrior,
Track Days.

Once it's back on the road, I may do a bit of daily driving again!

Its taking up my carport at home currently. Needs a few minor things I just haven't got round to.

So my option technically is storage of parts.

It is otherwise my weekend/ occasionally daily. But the ignition barrel has failed so I need to fit another.

I use mine as an excuse to buy lots of parts and tools I don't really need.

Mine is slowly sinking into the ground out the back of my mum's house. I go to visit it sometimes and more often than I'd like to admit I jam something else I have just bought for it in there. So parts storage also.

Partly due to motivation from Dato200B, I have just about finished acquiring everything I need to build it into the car I wanted it to be (but could never afford to do or couldn't find the parts) when I was about 16, down to the competition Kenwood radio/cassette player because the CD player I bought with my Christmas money blew up. And then, hopefully it will be the daily!

Good idea for a thread though Nik :thumbsup:

Glad I can help you find ways to spend your hard earned money..... just like you do to me.

I use mine to collect rust. Seeing I like to change things on it more than I drive it, seems to just love breading rust

I figured you used yours to abduct people off the street. Or just cruise around looking conspicuous.

Then will use it has a daily.
