One careful owner, low mileage.......
Ok guys...those who are built and on the roads...
How many miles have you done?
How many do you estimate you will do per year?
Just curious as to how much these cars really get used.....

Done about 3k in last year, still generates a grin tho' except after following my nose over the Trough of Bowland and getting soaked from
Lancaster back to Manchester
On a seperate note has there been an over production of 50mph signs?, only they seem to be popping up over all our favourite jaunts, how about
yours?
Cheers,
Colin

Not so much chnages in the limit round here, but extentions. the 30 limits signs are bing moved overnight furthere away from there orginal location,
seems to me to being moved to just include the next farm gate.
A rash of mobile cam's apearing in the now 30 limit farm gate that last night was a 60 limit

Somerset is just as bad - 20 mph sign about a mile either side of any school that apply at all times - I haven't seen many kids hanging around
school at 2am, so I'm not sure what the benefit of that is.
Also, they've taken to changing 40s to 30s, moving the signs outwards to increase the area, and then putting 40Mph "buffer zones"
about 1/2 mile either side of that. The best thing I've seen so far is a 60 heading towards a roundabout, that reduces to 40, then 30, then the
roundabout, then 40 again, then back to 60. Somewhere there is a very rich signmaker. And then they increase council tax.
