Red face 887 miles in a year

Just had the p1 mot'd and checked the mileage, I'd only done 887 miles. I can't believe how little I'd used it, gonna have to try a little harder to get more miles out of it this year. How many miles do you lot do in your scoobys, who does the most and who does the least?

I do about 1500 to 2000 a year in mine.

When you don't use it much it always seems like more of an occasion when you do get a chance to drive it.

I did somewhere around 60k in my V4STI in about 2.5 years.

Bought an old Diesel pug runabout last year and expect that to be around 7/8 this year lol

I'll check mine later but I don't think I'll have done much more than 600 miles at a guess!

I've done exactly.... 0 miles in mine over the last year.

I therefore claim my crown for the least.

slightly off topic. Did anyone read in Evo this month that Harry Metcalfe has insured his Zonda this year to do........ 200 miles???

Misprint surely, why even bother, 200 miles wouldn't get him to his European meets and back???

This question needs answering by Bob from work, I think he spends more time cleaning his car than driving it

When I bought my STI it had been for sale for over a year at the dealers, it covered something like 80 miles in that time! I now do about 8,000 per year in it.

45 mile round trip daily commute for me (mostly motorways) but still wish i could afford a crap old diesel to smoke around in through the week and keep Scoob for weekend fun. But hey, good fun to and from work and a few waves from other Scooby drivers en-route!
