Default Cossie owners.. How many miles do you do in yours?

Just been looking through my service record for the Sapphire and was quite surprised to see that since i serviced it for the ring trip on 20th August, i have covered over 10 THOUSAND miles. Quite a lot for a 13year old performance car in under 3months.

What sort of mileage do your Rs's cover?

In two years I think I did about 6000 miles

The saph was purely used for talking out the garage, abusing and putting away again though.
I always had a daily driver.

Done about 20miles in the last year and that was today

Took my time building it

BTW Stu the sensors I had off you this week didn't cure the fault, finally tracked it down to the fuel pressure reg and it now runs like a dream but I aint got around to trying to sort the rev counter just yet, maybe tomorrow

Just need to replace the damb diff now as the one I was supplied is shagged
