OK I will start the ball rolling.

Now into the 7th year of ownership and covered a grand total of around 165 miles (under its own steam) - not including the trip to the garage on the back of the low-loader.

So that give me less than 24 miles per year - do I hold the record for the least (should think for length of ownership I should :mrgreen:

Come on - lets get the figures going ;)

User Owned Mileage Done Average/Year

Look !!! I`m really sorry dude,, but you`re gonna win this hands down. I did 1200miles the weekend I put the new engine in, and fannied about up in Lincoln and wandered about down here when I got back. ;) I`m more about messing about in my bus when I`m somewhere,, not at home. If you are into just looking at the bus and not driving then you`re winning again. I just think,,,,,,,, lets get it on the road for the summer and work on my bus when it`s all Icy and there`s sod all to do anyhow ;)

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,Just Roll it,,,,,,,,,,,, NOW !!! :roll: :mrgreen: ;)
 
Hey Andy,,,,,,,,,,, When you gonna come out with us on an adventure ???????????????

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,Next scheduled adventure is,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ???? :lol: 8) :mrgreen:
 
Andy, I think I take your crown for the least miles covered. Had mine 4 years and I bought it from a guy about 4 miles away from my house so that's 1 mile per year ( if you don't count pushing it backwards and forwards in the garage :oops: :lol: )

Mind you , once the beast is back on the road it's going to be my daily driver and I've got a lot of European trips in mind so hopefully I'll be making up for lost time/miles.....
 
Ozzie, looks like more than likely next year unless I can get the bl@@dy thing MOT'd before then (2 hopes spring to mind - no Hope &Bob Hope....(


Mickey Sam - thought I was on to a winner with that mileage, not happy :evil:
 
Iv done 2200 miles in the last 6 weeks , bug jam and back 800 miles & holiday round wales and back 1400 miles .

I do have a late bay though so it's a lot easier to rack up the miles

Why do you think it's easier to rack up those miles in a late bay? I've done just short of 20,000miles in the split over the last 2 years :? and was the daily for 18months of that through 2 winters...no harder than in the '73 Westy I had before as a daily through 4 winters.

But gninnam, has yours been MOT'd for 4 years too?

:)
Not seen an MOT station for 6 years :(
In that case I could enter the crewcab, other than the few thousand miles in a container, and a few hundred on the back of a trailer, it hasn't turned a wheel under it's own power since the 90's :lol:
 
we've done 31,000 miles in our L8 bay since july 07.....or 50,000km, touchwood no breakdowns other than getting a push start 'little miss sunshine' style at Calais when our starter had overheated
