Default How many miles has your RS done in the last 9 months?

Mines done 300-350 since last October 1 show and 1 track day (9 laps )

Doesn't look like it will do many more in the near future either

That's cos you're a bufty

Mine gets used every day so the miles rack up and up, but I prefer to drive it than keep it spotless and low miles - each to their own

Very rare to find a low mileage VeeDub. Mate has a mint MK GTI but she still has 160K on clock on original engine and still pulls like Jacki Degg.

my cossie done 10k from when i got it about septemberish last year to feb this year, then i never touched it for 2 months as it was reliable and didnt want it to break down, when i used it again the thing decided to get a mis fire, even though i never used the fucking thing

next time i used it was central day, where it broke down with a fooked alt on the way back, still had a missfire after i sorted that so i took it apart, now sits outside me house with the engine in the front room

never park em up as they seem to gain problems anyway



BUT the money in petrol im saving is sooooooooo much better

getting a engine for " get the fooker back on the road before it rots totally" whilst i cary on with my engine rebuild which has a few changes


but basicly all RS cars are low miles minters cause no fooker uses em, when they work ya leave em in the garage so they dotn break down, when ya use em they fucking do break down,,,,,,,,, oh and some dont even use theres in the winter
