Default Mileage (again)

Right what kind of mileage do you guys do in your Escort Cossies per year???

Do many of you use them as a daily runner regardless of the conditions ie. its your only car, there to be drove not looked at!?

Cheers, Colin

My Cossie is indeed my only car but I don't have to use it for work as it's only about a 10 minute walk from where I live so that does tend to keep the mileage down by quite a bit! I'm not scared to take it out when it's raining though, they're there to be driven

Since I have had my car (June) I have done about 1000 miles - though it did spend about 2 months having a stage 3 conversion.
Because it is my 2nd car I cant imagine I will do more than 1000-2000 mile a year anyway.[/quote]

I did briefly use mine as a daily driver and it was fine, just the usual paranoia of leaving it anywhere

Only just got mine, but I reckon it wont be more than about 2000 miles a year.

The previous owner only did about 800 miles in 4.5 years!!!

Agree with turbocat, most people who know I wont be using it much say its a waste blah blah blah, but it just means its much better when it does come out.
