Recently saw a couple of cars out and about which looked well worn. A quick search confirmed they’ve done mega miles

342k Tesla



Also check out the miles on reg: V560ETT. Saw this trundling around Leamington Spa recently. Looked pretty tired unsurprisingly!
There is a big jump in the Tesla mileage from December 2018 to January 2019 no way it could have done the mileage in that time.
That’s true. Dec 18 was a fail and retested 1mth later. Wonder if one of them was a typo
Failed the test, did another 40k miles with no MOT until it was retested and passed no advisories? very odd indeed

Also I don't want to do the math but surely thats a lot of supercharging to do 40k in a month?
Thats over 1k a day, don't these have a range of like 300 miles, so that must have been going all day every day to knock that off?
I’m pretty sure it didn’t do 40k in a month. Must be a typo at one of the MoTs. Whatever the mileage is it’s piled them on. Can’t understand the business model myself...why would cupcakes be delivered all around UK and Europe!
That Tesla has intrigued me not just because of the mega mileage, but as Matt says, it seems like an oddly huge area to deliver cupcakes! Tried to google the phone number but came back with nothing.

I googled Tesla cupcakes which took me to a YouTube video with a link to their website.

I think we have a winner...

Chap fettling with a Ferrari F40 in Paris. The highlighted comment in French says the guy is the original owner who has put 86,000 kms daily driving it. Has a period-correct Champion sticker on the front bumper to hide a crack.

I love an F40 as much as anyone, and super respect for using it rather than having it live under a cover. But I can't help but imagine daily driving one through Paris would be complete purgatory. laugh

Unless most of his kms have been done commuting from the remote châteaux of course, in which case well done that man. biggrin

When you want to have dinner in Paris on Friday night, and walk across the vast driveway of your country chateau to the converted stables housing your cars, and you see this next to a 15 year old Laguna estate with peeling lacquer, which would you pick?

Laguna - less worry being driven home by the Mrs, or someone else's Mrs if I'm being properly French hehe, after I've got completely clattered with too much delicious wine.

Beige wouldn't match the paintwork.

I may have sat in that F40 and chatted to the owner, there can't be many of those in Paris?? the one that I sat in belonged to the guy who decorated the Eiffel Tower for y2k.

I'm always sceptical of "needs some welding" - but I've got to admit I do love those. If it is indeed just "some" welding it needs, it could prove to be a nice little bargain for someone. I'm sure there's plenty of miles left in the engine, if the chassis can hold it all together.

Been offered a 13 plate 160k 1.3 diesel Fiat 500L from a bloke I work with, it’s his wife’s trade in.
I can have it for the same money as the dealer offered him, £1500.
What do you think?
Will I be buying a headache?
It’s still on the original clutch and has been extensively used to run flowers up and down the M1.

He's in the owners club and the car is known, as far as I know it just needs some attention to the sills. I'd be very tempted myself if I hadn't already replaced my 405 with another project
