I guess I do between 15 and 20k. But I don't really count... Let me see:

40 miles daily times 260 days = 10000. That's just the ride to work and back. I guess I make at least 60 on a calm weekend... 52 weekends... Ouch, I'm doing at least 13k. With going here and there every other weekend, + holidays... Yup, should be 20k !

cheers

First year of Scoob ownership - April 00 to April 01, 8.5k.

I expect that to increase significantly in the future.

Bought an M-Reg MR2 6 weeks ago and have covered 3000 miles, therefore 25k a year.

However....it is my last day at work tomorrow so no more crappy journeys down the motorway everyday - hoorah

Only problem is I now have to get a new job asap to keep the car and house - no worries

Just over 5000 miles in 3 weeks last summer on top of the usual milage, but I did drive from London to Malaga in Spain via Calias & Back about 1500 each way & 2000 whilst down there.

I normaly average in all the cars about 15K, the wife does about 6K, most of it is foot to the floor so MPG is crap but fun.

I did well over 30KMiles in my sti in the first year I had it... Also racked up more miles in other cars as the scooby was often stuck in garages getting bad tuning or bad tuning fixed... ho hum.

I have done 10KMiles in the last three months... 700 miles a week plus weekend travel...

Got my Scooby in November last year - 30,000 miles. It's now on 43,000.

Well, you've got to see if the hype is true, don't you?

My RB5WR had 10,000 on it when collected on August 5th last year, now has 16,500. So about 8,000 a year....that's not nearly enough must go for a blast tonight to get the enjoyment factor up

Does anyone know how badly Scoobies are hit in resale by above average mileage. I bought a second car to commute in so i dont add to many miles!!

What does anyone consider to be "High Mile" P/A??
