What's you mileage?

[ar-gto]

Just curious as to the amount of miles people are putting on their cars. Mine is my every day car and has hit 13.5k miles - with R0020 - a 3R - I was smugly lurking here as I watch others waiting for their car to be delivered!

As the mileage/usage builds what is people perception of the car now? I remember my Esprits becoming noticeably "looser" around 10-12k which was when the newness feeling disappeared. My opinion of the Noble changes every week. Performance/handling never really alters but noises/minor problems seem to come and go. For example at the moment in the cold weather my sticky power steering has come back again and requires me to warm the car up a little before driving off - and "flexing" the steering by turning it quickly left to right also helps!

I have NUS0057 (US car). I just went 135 miles on 13 gallons around town. No highway driving. It also seems to be running rich and smells rich.

Ah, good old English / American language. It's how many miles have you done

Me? 6,500 since May (R106). Only car at the moment.

I'm pleased someone's asked this question as I'm about to buy a GTO 3R and plan to use it as an everyday car... well, pretty much everyday. I'm guessing I'll be putting 8-10K miles a year on it so need to know it's going to keep working. Having had an Ultima Spyder I'm pretty confident in Lee Noble's abilities :-)

As I live only 4.5 miles from work I don't use it for commuting but have still managed 1100 miles since mid October just becuase it's good fun

March 04 3R with about 4000 miles on it! No real problems so far. Exhaust bracket sheared after some hard driving to and from Le Mans, but other than that, pretty damn good.

51 plate 2.5, bought with 13k on the clock late July, now has 18.5k, use it everyday for driving around the wonderful roads of N.Yorks.

February 04 GTO3 - now 9300 miles - mix of daily commuting and a dozen track outings - going well after a few early niggles.

July 04, 3R, 4500 miles. Very few problems. Never let me down once. Would like to use more but I live 1 mile from work although for some reason I have two cars !
