How far has your car travelled?

[gradeAfailure 0]

As I'm off work with a bad back (still/again :roll:), I got to thinking about where my C lives now compared to where it was originally registered, and though we could see who has a rado that is the furthest away from where the first owner lived - Matt aka carpoid, yours doesn't count in this! :lol:

Mine, as EE, should denote Lincoln - but I know that she had the private plate L8 WES when new, and actually came from Chichester. So Chichester > Farnborough = 38 miles. Not very impressive!

 

How about yours?

[gaz the geezer 0]

mine was originally bought in wakefield up yorkshire way ( still got original bill of sale ) but private plate indicates portsmouth area....it travelled to south wales then came to the sunny south for a well earned holiday

 

EDIT ... yep, sorry mate, forgot to put the mileage in, never mind eh, hope yer back gets better mate

[gradeAfailure 0]

So Wakefield > Southampton = 226 miles

 

And yeah, private plates don't exactly count as location identifiers! :lol:

 

I reckon davecash's would be hard to beat - he has scarlett's old valver, which on SU comes from Glasgow and is now around Portsmouth - a shade over 440 miles!

[steve_16v 0]

Mine's gone from Leeds->London->nr Exeter, so roughly 500 miles

[iow_corrado_g60 0]

oi you forgot the isle of wight that comes under DL too!

[Kevin Bacon 5]

BW - Oxford registration, now in Ipswich, so only about 140 miles or so?

[corradophil 3]

Sheffield to Burnham-on-Crouch. About 210 miles. It stopped of in Watford for a couple of years whilst on it's way.

[VR6 Russ 0]

Manchester to Maidenhead. Via London.

 

184 Miles

[24V Renshaw 0]

380 odd miles.

[24V Renshaw 0]

Mine's gone from Leeds->London->nr Exeter, so roughly 500 miles

[steve_16v 0]

Ah yes so it is :oops:

 

never having driven to either it was a very rough guess

[dinkus 10]

Brigton -> Cambridge, so not far. Buuut I know it's lived up in Yorkshire at some point - which is quite a trek!

[ZippyVR6 0]

Origonal plate was north west london, so still fairly local.

[g60greeny 0]

(ug)leeds to doncaster not to far for me 8)

[blackcat 0]

Plate is London SW, I bought it in Manchester, took it to Bedford, now live in Bristol. Probably been elsewhere in between London and Manchester too.

[Taggart 0]

Ramsey to Douglas - about 15 miles!

[NottsCounty 0]

I think mine and zippys cars are from the same stock - originally registered in NW London, then moved to SE London, then to Watford and she now lives with me in Luton.

 

All in all about 40 miles - pretty pants really.

 

What was your original mark Zippy??

[Blinky16v 0]

Nice one gradeA my boy! Always wondered where I could get this list :)

 

Mine was first registered in Middlesbrough, then to somewhere in Surrey, now lives in Twickers...

[Trig 0]

London to Cornwall, roughly 250 miles.

[timg60 0]

Brighton to cornwall via bristol.

250ish

[vr6storm 0]

put my plate on it within days of buying..............but its original number plate was Glasgow........and i bought it from a Lexus dealer in Edinburgh.......

 

so say Edinburgh/Glasgow > Aberdeen 120+ miles

[.A.N.T. 0]

Coventry to Dorking

 

123.5 miles!

[Dredgey 0]

Brighton > London (I know from looking at the previous owner on the V5) > Basingstoke

[Henny 0]

H-YYU - Central London -> Milton Keynes -> Near Manchester... 182miles...

J-DUB - Leeds -> Peterborough -> Oswestry -> Near Manchester... 320 miles...

H-EBH - Luton -> Skipton -> Near Manchester... 265 miles...

FKC-Y - Liverpool -> Manchester (13 times!) -> Near Manchester... about 70miles... (have full history of all 16 owners!)

Manchester to Jersey (366 miles) and back to Manchester (another 366 miles) must like the rain.
