Glad mines not a golf otherwise it would bring the standard of this thread right down! My Audi has a pretty hard life compared to all you guys!

Gets washed once a week or every two weeks if I don't get time, does approx 400-500 miles a week, gets serviced on time though, but by myself because I refuse to pay more than I need to just for a stamp...

Mine lives like a King  :grin:

Built mine to use tho

And I do use it - every single day come rain, shine, snow etc.. dont see the pont in putting them away in a garage..

My car is kept in mint condition - id say better than the ones that are kept for show use only. it does take a lot of my time keeping it this way but i enjoy it almost as much as driving it

It never lets me down, its been the best VW iv ever owned

Golf: To and from work/college every day. 90% motorway miles 10% city miles. Washed by the rain and detailed once a year, twice if I'm flush with cash  :grin:
Vento: Lives in my dad's garden, hasn't been out in a year now  :cry:

My Golf stays garaged all year round, only coming out for shows, and fine evenings in the summer, mostly to keep the battery charged. The Golf will be SORN from October, and re taxed March/April time dependent on the weather. My car has covered less 1k in the last 12 months, but typically around 2k a year in the last 6 years, but I do drive it like it should be driven :evil:

You need to stop being obsessed with the car and spend a bit more time on home maintenance issues! :tongue:

Lives in the rain and cold, used as a daily work horse and gets a wash once in a while. Does get the occasional pamper and any mechanical issues are sorted out promptly. Beginning to look a bit weather beaten now though so need to give her a bit of tlc and make her feel good about herself again, she has just recovered from a heart transplant after all!  :rolleyes:

Mine does 500-700 miles a week. Serviced every 3 months. When things break they get replaced and it gets washed once it gets to this stage....
