Bally 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Been reading alot of posts & it seems alot of you guys clock up some miles.. I use myn as a daily driver, clock up over 500miles a week would be interesting to see who's doing the most mileage here?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted December 12, 2003 can do anything up to 700miles some weeks - long way between population centres in the south west :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolster 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Also around 500/week Mon-Fri Commute. Who has the lowest (actual) mileage on a C? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DEL VR6 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Mines a daily driver. I wish I could do less miles, cos I want to keep it forever, and maintain the relatively low mileage. (Its an L reg with 83k on the clock). I do just over a thousand a month: a mixture of motorway and town driving. I thought about getting a MKII Golf Gti for daily use, and keep the C for high days, holidays and weekends etc, but I dont think I would be able to drive any other car daily, knowing that I got a Corrado sitting at home! The other reason I wish I did less mileage cos it drinks a fair bit of juice sitting at traffic lights and pottering round town! Still, any downsides are by far outweighed by the kick you just from everyday driving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Dunno about lowest, but I'm pretty sure mine's got the highest here... 225000+ Miles... :? (can't remember exact figure 'cos the dash is sat on my kitchen table at the moment!) When she's running :roll: I do about 350 miles a week mon-fri commuting, and then another 100 or so during the summer weekends having fun! :wink: 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RACK 0 Posted December 12, 2003 I only live 3.5 miles away from work, but I still manage to clock up about 250 miles a week. I like having fun with my car :lol: :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60Dan 0 Posted December 12, 2003 140/150 a week, but works just moved sp will expect it to change to more like 250/300 Currently have about 78k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linus Van Pelt 0 Posted December 12, 2003 Daily driver for me too, Reading to Sutton commute :shock: (for the last six months), works out at about 700 miles per week (assuming I don't use it over the w/e...) (The good news is that I've negotiated my hours so I do the M4/M25 run at 06.00 when the roads are nice and quiet :twisted: I leave early too so I almost always miss the worst of the traffic - don't think I could stomach the commute at the 'usual' times :wink:) Bought the car in Nov '01 with 89K on the clock, now on something over 124K... DtM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRINGOG60 0 Posted December 12, 2003 I only live about 5 miles from work so mileage doesnt go up much on my wagon (90k) 8) - currently rebuilding a Mk1 Cab that will help take down the mileage when its done. Thinking about putting the G60 lump in the cab and doing a 20vt conversion :twisted: . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dan 0 Posted December 12, 2003 I've put less than 900 miles on the C since its MOT in July. Its sitting in my garage since the middle of Nov ...all washed underneath ...including wheel arches, even the insides of the alloys ...the paintwork is polished with resin protection for the winter & all rubbers & trims silicone treated. Sometimes I think its gettin a bit silly just sitting there still costing me money :? ...I mean we can't take them with us ...still, I hope its dry this weekend :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted December 12, 2003 I've done about 23000 since July this year... only 4000 in the C though, all the rest are on my piece of sh1t company 406 :pukeleft: - which I'm determined to break! I'd say in a week I'm doing about 100-150 in the C (when it works :lol: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
