Just worked out I covered 42k business miles last year...
90% of these would have been in the Ro....

So, despite Brakes & Discs, Tyres, New Gearbox, Rippy, RRP, more tyres, more brakes, and several services.....

Has it been worth it?

TOO BLOODY RIGHT!

loved every minute driving the Beast.driving

Looking forward to the next 12 months!

Holy cr*p! I thought I was the silly one using mine as a daily driver over 12k miles a year!

I salute you!

I'm similar to that and its great
Last Sunday I drove a laden Subaru Outback from Switzerland to the UK got back 1900PM next morning left at 0430AM in the Ro for a 2.5 hour and was found myself smiling as I sailed up the M40 in it
even when shattered it brings a smile to your face
