2.5k per year. That’s part self-imposed and part weather imposed. Restricting it a little keeps it special although the temptation is always there to binge. Can’t go much longer than a week without a fix or strange things start to happen. During long periods of bad weather I find myself fixing things that aren’t broken.

Well in the month I've had my plus 4 I've done a bit over a 1000 miles, it won't be that x 12 but my guess is around 5 or 6k per year. It's not a sunny day only car but I must admit I don't see the enjoyment in taking it out in really bad weather.

So with not long left for the poll a quick summary
12% hardly use them, maybe they do not want to have to clean them
30% casual users, probably more cars in the barn
48% love their cars and use them,
8% probably can't get enough or its their only car
2% are fanatics
Any more voters out there

Since November 2015 I've done 2800. At present level of use, I would say 5000 by the end of the first 12 months of ownership. As a matter of interest, first owner did 6600 in previous 5 years.

The first owner did around18,000 in four years.
The second owner did 4,000 in ten years.
Last year (my first year of ownership) I did 2,500.
Usage is about once a week, all through the year - I do not lay it up.
This year I think it will maybe 3-4,000.
I fell happy in the 'love their cars and use them' category.

I'm going to be over 5000km in my first year of ownership. Still 7 weeks to go and I'm 4600. Just as well its mid winter. I still get out for a fix every other day.

My annual mileage has been erratic. The DHC has been idle for a year and a half with clutch problems. The +4-4str is just back on the road since the debacle of the High Rockies. Only to have the +8 Bitsa go bad on My recent Run to Vancouver Island. For the last two years I have spent working on Morgans rather than driving them. I think they need a different Mechanic.
