Does anyone store their pride and joy for the winter?

I wonder what sort of mileage people on here are averaging per year?

I've just turned 30k on my 2007 Ed 30.

I won't be using it in the crappy weather especially now it's cleaned up.

No. The GTI demands to be driven. Even in snow!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Yup -driven everywhere all the time - haven't got the luxury of it being a second car. 30k on my 2008 here, although this pales into insignificance when looking at SteveP's mileage!

Mine get used daily, by the wife and kids, not sure why you would want to limit the mileage in an ED30, it's an everyday car and meant to be used. Had mine just over two months and covered 4500 miles in it. Mind you 2000 was on my trip to the south of France.

Loving every minute of it as well.
