A happy coincidence today....

I always log my mileage and fuel consumption on Fuelly - doesn't make me drive any slower, but its nice to know how much the Nigel_O mini-fleet is consuming.

About three weeks ago, I filled up the V8 Vantage and put it in the garage - registered the mileage:



Today, I took the daily driver Skoda Yeti into town and back, and as I pulled onto the drive, the mileage looked familiar (and yes, I'm aware that the yeti trip is a 1/1000 rounding of the odo - another pure coincidence):



A far cry from the last time I ran a daily and a toy side by side. My Alfa GT diesel had 268,000 on it when I sold it in 2021 and at the same time, my Westfield had about 16,000 miles on it - a 16.75 multiple.

It got me thinking - all true PH'ers have a daily driver and at least one toy in the garage. True stair-dominating, powerfully built, director types have several more.... wink

So - as an extension to the rather excellent two-car garage thread, who has the narrowest and widest mileage differences across their multi-vehicle fleet?

Photos encouraged, of course...

Well, my daily has 179k, and my weekend car has 122k, so... 57k difference. Pretty unremarkable...

Nonsense. Many drivers who are very interested in cars & driving only have one car. Does also driving my wife's car allow me to stay on Pistonheads - please.?

I suppose it allows you to use the stupid childish saying of having a fleet like the OP states with 2 cars.

Pistonheads at it’s very finest right there.

That's quite a coincidence!

I bought my daily driver in April 2019 on 107,349 miles.

By December it was on 111,920 when I went to pick up my fun car that had done 76,283. They are now on 130K and 99K as I'm retired and not racking up many miles, so still a similar difference.

The car I've owned the longest, 23 years, is the lowest mileage of the five I own. My most recent purchase, which I bought five years ago was the lowest mileage until last week, and has just overtaken it.

And there was me thinking the winking smilie would be enough to replace the non-existent tongue-in-cheek smilie for the hard of thinking rolleyes
