If i work 5days then its about 70 miles a week, if 6 days then about 85 a week. I used to only use the Mk2 2 of those days, which meant i only did about 1500 in the Golf in the whole year!

approx 20 miles a week. I really want to cycle it but I've got no rear access to my garden so I'd have to haul my bike through the house every day :sad:

40 miles a week for me, would love to cycle but a) i have to wear shirt n tie so would need clothes to change into and a shower.... b) I've been run over by a shogun and don't fancy a rematch  :lipsrsealed:
I do park next to a river which sets the MK3 off nicely, may even use it to beat the traffic :laugh:

it's one of the good things about the island, you're never that far away from your place of work. The downside is the lack of fuel economy

Just started a job that'll be 400 miles a week, and that'll be in the integra. God knows what I was thinking  :grin:
