Mine's done zero miles this year & zero miles last year! That will all change next year if all goes to plan, I'll be using it quite a bit.

In the Gold dhc 2008 = 3892 Miles. 2009 = 8090 miles, 2010 = 3710 miles, Would have been more in 2010, but have just had 6 weeks without driving after back op, expect to get around another 1500 miles on it before new year.

The wife in the Blue fhc has done approx 3300 a year in the last 3 years, bearing in mind the blue one is on the road for 6 months of every year.

I have done about 100miles since the last MOT (one week ago). Did about 6000 miles in the 6 months before I took her off the road. I expect to use her as the daily driver from march to November and cover about 15000 miles a year - hopefully.

Did 132 miles from last August to this July,due to car being down for transmission issue. Did 650 from July-now. But I divide driving between 3 cars,so I probably don't put as many on as I could/should. Headed to DC on Wed.,so this years figures should double![:)]

Have done almost a 1000 miles this year. The trip to Portland and back even with the troubles on the way down and a 45 minute backup in tacoma for an accident was about 25 MPG

My TR8 coupe went from new to 89,000 when I bought it in 1998 and then to 92,000 miles in 4 years, that was 2001 and since then ZERO!

I went about 2,000 miles this year for a total of 91,700. I use it during summer and fix it in winter (rain), at least until I finish the projects on it (getting there). That included 700 mile run to Portland last week. I'm pretty much retired and have to find excuses to run into town evey couple of days when the weathers right. I have a dailey driver (Integra in summer and Tercel wagon 4x4 in winter, just in case we get some snow).

Mine sat in the garage for over three years, did 200 miles the year before that and just under the same the year before. in just over 3 months i've racked up just under 3000miles and the way mine and the missus daily drivers are behaving i'll be putting a lot more miles on it before the year's up!

Christine has done 5500 since I had her just over two years ago, though the first year was mainly for work...now I walk to work it's
pleasure miles (if you can call shopping a pleasure)...though I do a "normal" 20 mile drive to get groceries when I could just walk down the road cuz it's so much fun driving her...
