How many miles this year?
Posted: 01 Aug 2012 12:43
My TR7V8 has another 12 month's MOT as of today - no advisories.
I use a garage close to where Robsport used to be. It's a 90 mile round trip but it's a nice high speed drive, they know our wedges very well, are used to testing Classics and Robsport is only a few miles further north if I'm after some parts.
However, the mileage between tests shows I've covered less than 800 miles in the last 12 months.[:0] If I deduct 90 mile for the return MOT trip and 50 miles for commuting to work last week, that's leaves only 650 miles.[:0]
If we hadn't experienced such atrocious weather in the UK this year it would be closer to 3,000 miles.
How many have you done?
