How Many Miles a Day?
« on: 15 January 2008, 16:19 »
Hi Guys,

My daily work commute currently consists of about 75 miles, so the daily mileage being put on the golf is racking up.

I was worried that I'm going to kill it before I've had time to properly enjoy it!

How many miles do you guys do in yours?

A day? Only about 30-40 mins a day.. then a few hours at the weekend. In the last year i've done just under 5k

Daily, not that large. But most weekends I go from base to home and back, which is around 280 miles depending on which way I go. So usually do about 600-700 miles a week..

I do about the same as hobblinho approximately 55 Miles on the motorway daily, weekends just around town!
I know where you are coming from but hell, the car is there to be enjoyed, whats the point in treating her like a frigid trophy wife  :grin:

p.s what are engine rebuilds/conversions for! :smiley:

About 20 miles a day and 50 at weekends unless there's a show on :)

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08
