In my 1st 318 I did about 25k to 30k miles in just over a year. Bedford to Oxford , Bedford to Manchester or Liverpool on a weekly basis.

Just rolled in 130k on the clock. Recon that's about 15-20k that I've done myself in about a year and a half. Maybe spadge remembers the millage when he sold me the car?

Only a paltry 23k in 4 years. That includes 8 months off though when I crashed it into a fence. You'd think having to drive a Cavalier would have made me repair it a bit quicker. :?
