I do around 6000 miles per annum. So very similiar.
She really is a 'Black Beauty' if I may so presume and the pictures are truly wonderful.

BTW: All cars in our area of London, Zone 2,  have been covered with gritty black debris. I presume from the effects of the Icelandic eruption. Never happened before. The stuff is really very gritty and can easily damage paint.

The stuff on our cars is really very gritty and black. You can actually feel it quite easily.
Have to hose Wolfgang this weekend, again. Pain.
Never wanted to look after a car so much, even though I have had much more expensive cars!
Can't understand it. :rolleyes:
BTW: Just a very innocent suggestion: Why not call your car 'Black Beauty'? Seems very apt. :smiley:

I'm at about 2580 I only drive 18 miles to work and back each day so it isn't being used that much at present.  Got a trip to  Devon coming up in June so that should add a good few.  It's a great car tho don't you think?
