My mileage is sensible now I've got a normal job, at around 300-400 a week. But thats only the last 18 months. Before that I worked as a touring musician/sound engineer and covered 1500-2500 a week. This was before the Fiats. I covered starship miles in the best/cheapest/most reliable/boring car I've ever owned, E-Reg Cavalier Estate. I've still got it, along with my pair of Marea's. Its got 250,000 on the clock, but has done a few thou' more.(the clock stuck at 22,000 third time for a few months). All I've ever done to it is oil,filters,tyres,exhausts and last year two sills and CO for MOT. It smokes a bit these days and now needs an MOT, so its off the road at the moment.
Oh yeah, and it only ever let me down once. I left it at the girlfriends house, down in Kent, while I went to Germany for two weeks, I came back to find I'd left it unlocked with the hatch half open. The interior light had flattened the battery. Called the AA, felt like a ****.
Its been a great car and I can't bear to scrap it. If anyone wants it..............I'll charge the battery and fill the tank.
