Last year, we revealed that ex-Stig Ben Collins drives a 997 911 Turbo as a daily driver. But in 2023, he has added a car to the Stig garage, and this one is an absolute peach.

15:46 The roof liner sagging is a very common issue with cars of that age. It is fabric glued to a layer of foam, which deteriorates over time. It doesn't matter if you drive it or not, the foam will just fail at some point. It is a pretty straightforward fix, although time consuming. For common cars like a Golf 1/2/3 you can get direct replacements because it happens that often.

Yugo can't be a daily nowdays trust me, tried it like 2 decades ago. With roll cage and more advanced engine and transmission (fore turbo family suits it), well with more advanced everything it's like a swift small animal, not most agile one, not the fastest one but sort of better then old modified minis by noticeable margin. Still even of added a/c really hard to use it as a daily.

Honestly, I've had 8 cars by now, one of them being a modern 2011 1series. All of the others were pre 2004, and they were kind of simple to understand and fix. I wouldn't want another modern combustion engined car though. And an electric motor is somewhat easy to understand, too. After 100k miles there's still nothing broken so I'm curious to find out about repair routines on those, but I'm hopeful the effortless fun will continue. Hope aside from mine there will be more sub 1500kg cars with solid power and rear or all wheel drive, so people who want a nimble car can have their go in the near future, too.
