Slow year. For the last 12 Months only about 2500 miles. It will pick up with two, 2 week long trips in the fall.
Cheers,

A year ago I posted: Tarka had done just over 20,000 miles. Now close to 28,000. So, about 8000 miles. More than in the "Tin Top"....

Well done Peter, I've done over 6500 miles in the Plus 8's first year - it'll probably be close to 7000 miles by the time we get to ToTH which is it's actual anniversary!

I was calculating this only the other day: over thirty two years and three different cars (some more heavily used than others due to changing circumstances) the average seems to be 15,300 miles p. a.

Since getting the Aero in mid April I have done 3200 miles, mainly on runs to Prescott and other meetings, and into Exeter and abouts. I have enjoyed every minute and will continue to do so. Later this year we are planning a drive from Santander down through Spain a week at Vilamoura, back up through Portugal and then over the Picas back to Santander, including the trip to Plymouth and from Portsmouth to home about 1600miles in total. I reckon this year Rosie in Blue will do about 6-7K, which is fine by me.

Bought my 1995 4/4 on 1st October last year with 6,800 miles on the clock. Have nearly doubled that already. It has certainly loosened up and drives much better now. So if in doubt...drive it!

Done
We'll just top 5000. In the 4 years that we have had our 4/4 2 seater we have averaged 5000 a year.
