1,000 miles in 11 months, do you have another car to use or just not drive anywhere.

I use to have pictures of mileage milestones on my old anni, there were a lot, 16k up to 70k  :signLOL:

Cycle to work , use a Cooper Diesel around town and don't get out much i'm old  :rolleye:

I have now done 105,000 miles after today's 462-mile trip.

I remember feeling proud when I had done 20,000 miles.

what is the point in having a car to do 1000 miles per year? What do you do, just sit and look at it ? Get out there and drive it or sell it to someone who will actually use it.

Hi I dont have that photo bucket thing ,

When I took it out Saturday the brakes were stuck on or rusted to the disks

TBH  I am not that impressed and Steve is correct the ED30 still makes me smile .

I have a company vehicle  so use that 99% off the time and my Wife has a BMW 3 series coupe Diesel,

In my first 4 months of ownership my ED30 spent most of its time in the garage, i only did 1,500 miles, as i worked in a bad area, so ran a banger that i could dump anywhere, or else the ED30 would have been stolen or on been on bricks!

Nav info in the highline, change setting on the car and looks better

It should have been standard for the sake of a £50 option. Just add that on the overall price...not like anyone would have noticed.

Oh and i've smashed over a 1000 miles in 3 weeks in the rental car. 30,000+ a year.
