What would you say is your average miliage annually? When I had my Turbo, I reckon I did no more than 1500 per year. Maybe even as little as 1000 miles in the latter year. I'm just trying to calculate some factors for my next car, which will be strictly weekend.

Any advice welcomed, cheers!!!!

Proberly do around 2k in my Defender. Only use it for off road play days or green laning.

Also use it when my daily fucks up, which is 60mile round trip for work so that pushes it up a bit.

Impreza about a mile. Guy took a deposit then decided he didn't want a deal or sold

CTR, John was pushing and pushing so i bought the Corsa instead. I don't need thread making, several u2us and texts when i'm parting with hard earned cash for a third car which i don't need.

I'm happy with the Corsa for now - it's a little project.

Mini did 1400ish last year. ~650 road miles, the rest track.

Celica has only done 15 in the last 2 years but that's because it hasn't been used. It'll be doing ~1000 this year
