    How far do you travel in your Series each year

    I'm coming up to one year owning my Series. I just noticed that I've nearly clocked up 100 km. I think that might include part of the drive home. LOL

    How many miles/km do you do?

    I have had mine for 3 years this month and the odometer reads 12,301 mi. Since the speedo was the first of my necessary repairs that adds up to 4100 mi per year.

          I've driven my 109 just over 4,000 miles since completion of the frameover in May. I've driven the wife's V8 109 about 14,000 miles so far this year.

                In the nearly five years that I've owned my 109 I've averaged about 3000 miles a year on it. Which is just about the same as what I put on my daily driver :-)

                    My truck has been a garage ornament most of this year. In the last 2 months I've put @ 1100 miles on it as a daily driver.

                      In the good old days when my Rover was my only classic vehicle(and at one point my only vehicle) I was logging 12k miles on year on it. Now that the car collection has increased, and needs have changed, the Rover only gets about 1k a year tops. However, I have covered about 70k miles in it since I bought it 20 years ago(it still amazes me we have been together that long).

                        The lightweight has been my daily driver on and off for the last decade. I'm guessing it gets around 12,000/year on average.

                            Sure, whatever you can drag along behind you should count.....

                              .

                              Haha. That sounds like a topic for another thread. How often do you get towed? How far have you been towed? How often do you break down? (Or for some people, how often do you brake down?)

                              I think my Series needs to get out more.

                              I do "brake" down (hill) because mine jumps out of gear. LOL. Something to fix next when I get the right tools.

                              But I must say that my Series have never let me down. Never going anywhere in it tends to ensure that. Lowering my expectations helps.
