I did a stack of km's this year, about 6 trips to see the MGB adding about 700km each time. Normally I get a message on the Octavia screen saying I have 30 says to needing a service, this time I got a message than a service is due in 1000km that has no counted down to nothing and now says over due every time I start the car. The car is 8 years old with 125,000km and a 12month 15,000 service interval so I must have gone close to getting that message most years.
Not sure how many km's my MGB will do once finished but I am hoping to be between 5,000km and 10,000km as I want to enjoy it.
We went from East to West. Saturday I drove from Canberra to Yass leaving my wife at a hotel while I did a band job at a function in a nearby country town, town of maybe 100 residents and we had about 300 at the function. I then drove 740km from Yass to Lorne on Sunday to meet up with the others who had left on Friday morning. We stayed 5 nights at Lorne, Apollo Bay and Warrnambool driving around the local area doing about 200km a day. Then on the way back we took 3 days going from Warrnambool to Echuca, Echuca to Wagga Wagga and then back to Canberra. In theory you could do it in 2000km but I did almost 3,000 as we travelled a bit to see other attractions on the way back as well as a fair bit or touring along the Great Ocean Road.
