260 miles last year, and still none this year!

I've done loads more than you Thom.

350 miles last year and 22 so far this year.

This is nothing fellas, I took mine of the road at the end of April 2007! Six years ago!!! Its so close to being back on the road again i'm physically itching. Budget DIY project is an understatement really, I have done EVERYTHING myself including the full respray. I've had to learn a lot of new skills and even re-do things twice but the experience has been fantastic. I just hope it pays off when I finally get to drive the bloody thing again. Its gonna take a while to publish a build thread thats for sure.

I'll see your 2007, and raise you 2006 ;)

Mine was rebuilt in 2002/2003, came out occasionally in the summers till 2006, and has been in storage ever since. Washed maybe once every couple of years and that's about it.

However, yesterday it was collected by some friends who are prepping it for shipping to Florida! My old girl is coming to join me as the car is now 25 years old and legal for the US.

Best still, they put a new battery on her yesterday and she didn't even turnover once to start! Which I'm told just about stunned everyone watching.

I put more miles into my car in the drive home from buying it than most of you put in all year.

Drive mine every day cos its a piece of s..t.
And it's on the Isle of Wight which is perfect for one of these as long it hasn't got silly low coil overs.
