Change your name! with Snowolf you dont stand a chance!

(I only took mine out last weekend for a run after about 4 weeks on the drive - I've been really busy, but it was great!)

Ive been doing 13K a year but im driving to the Algarve in July 2010 and back up the east coast of Spain on the way back. Should be a nice 4K drive by the time i get home.

And i have worked out im going to use about £750 of go go juice for the whole trip

Should be a good road trip

Had the car 18 months now....done about 14k. It's my daily driver but it hasn't even got 20,000 on the clock yet which isn't bad for an 05 Ro. I'm paranoid about it starting to go rusty now though - but it's still squeeky clean when i wash it! laugh

You bought it to drive it, i really wouldnt worry about stacking up the miles. Ive done 50k in my Focus in the past 4 years & loved every minute if i had not driven it it may have been worth a bit more to sell but i really dont care, ive had my moneys worth out of it!!!
