annual mileage

[fastbikes76]

So I bought the R8 thinking it would be a spare car and not do much mileage so I insured for 7k a year....I've done 3600 in 3 months lol

So what annual mileage do you guys generally do in your Ro's or R8's for a laugh ?

[VinceM]

Mine is a daily driver and I did just over 7k last year. This year I reckon it'll be the same if not higher.

Put 10K on it in first year (last year) on my 05 Ro taking it up to 68K, but it's now my 'fun' car and comes out at weekends and when I feel a crappy day at work coming on.

[snowwolf]

Mine is not a daily driver but still clocked up 33k miles in last 3 years

[fastbikes76]

ours is a 6th car but one of the first to come out The miles is just weekend jaunts including France one week and then Lands End the following. Was up at Colchester on sat and then Milton Keynes Sunday...I have a feeling I need to increase my annual limit soon

[Dave3166]

VXR8 is my evening & weekend toy really, probably no more than 40 miles per month if that.

Not including the mileage to take out of garage, clean, put back in again

Ours is not a daily drive, but do about 6000 a year. Mrs T did 73 in hers last year and our daily drive did 5000. A testament to the fun factor.

We do about 5k miles a year. Must be careful with this one, as we seem to be doing more.

Oddly, when I was arranging one insurance policy and said it was for 5k annual mileage, when I came to buying, the guy asked the mileage and I said "13.5k" (after 2 years 9 months) and he said "Oh you do only do 5k a year then"

Daily driver so far in 21 months I've done 87,000 miles and loved every minute lots of tyres though lmao

[007 VXR]

[snowwolf]

If I could afford it I would do more vxr8 miles luckily now have a m/bike so doing some on that too, done 200 miles on the bike on Sunday just for a little ride out lol

I couldn't believe that we did about 150 miles for fish and chips, the weekend before last. I only found out when I checked the trip meter, before topping off the tank here with 30 litres.

Based on my tyre consumption about 60k miles per year

That was an awesome holiday! But errr no it doesn't....

Vette burnout

Not bad for an auto without a line locker, I do believe the saying goes there is nothing faster than a hire car

[throwyourbike]

I used to do 10k a year in the Ro when she was my daily but I expect that to drop to about 2k now that I have a dirty diesel for my commute to and from work.

[anonymous-user]

30k miles in 8 years. Half of that was done in the first year!

I never do a trip meter of how much fuel I use by trotting up bank statements, I would never go out if I did !!! Lol

[SturdyHSV]

Mine's only used for fun, do about 8,000 miles a year. Rate of tyre consumption is increasing however.
