I use mine pretty much every day, all year round. Fresh snow isnt too bad but slush pretty much brings things to a halt though - unless you count sideways movement as opposed to forward movement. I have managed 90k in it since August 2008.

I used to use mine a fair amount despite walking to work, generally averaged 8,000 miles a year.

Over the last 18 months or so I've been quite low so poor Bruce hasn't been used much really, couldn't even tell you what sort of mileage to be honest.

Not going anywhere though thumbup

I use my vxr8 as a daily drive. The bloke I purchased it from only put about 2000 miles on it in a year. I soon destroyed that low mileage smile

Daily driver here. 22k in 21 months but started a new job a few weeks back where I can now drive to work rather than the train so prob looking at another 20k over the next year at least. Really need to get round to getting my upgrades fitted so I can have a near 800bhp commuter car biggrin

Mine shares daily duties with a number of others but try to use it once a week (or more commonly a couple of consecutive days every other week)

Don't really need to worry about putting miles on it!! biggrin

Mine will be used most weekends.

But, as I am down to one car for the next couple of weeks, it'll be on commuting duties for a few days... biggrin

Mine is not a daily drive, never used for journeys to work, but have covered 13k miles in 15 months, only time it has seen rain is when coming back from Walkinshaws a few months ago.
