How many miles have you driven.
I can't be sure but I think I've probably averaged 25,000 a year for the past 40 years.
So that's about a million!

Re: How many miles have you driven.
Well, I know I've done a smidge over 80k in my last two moderns, plus 5k in Monty + at a guess another 15k in other cars. So prob about 100k
Edit. Wrong amount on the moderns

Re: How many miles have you driven.
I have been driving 8 years and I would guess I have done about 250K but its difficult to know for certain because I have driven soo much stuff!
60K on a transit
60K on 2 work vans
probably about 5K on minibuses
30K on old car
5 k on current car
+ numerous other things!

Re: How many miles have you driven.
I suppose I averaged about 18 - 25k miles a year over the last 20 years.
Way, way less than that in a Minor.
However, these days I fly a round trip of about 6k miles four times a year back and forth work .....glad I don't have to drive it!

Re: How many miles have you driven.
I sold my last volvo f12 with a 999997 on the clock with an original tacko 11 years to get to that. And if anyone has ever driven a merc 307 luton van 103 thousand in 12 months that was the hardest of all you would only know how hard if you have driven one. life in the slow lane

Re: How many miles have you driven.
Just in my Minor -- I believe the nearest-to-exact number is 65! It hasn't moved much since we bought it!
All together...probably five or six thousand...I've only gotten my license a few years ago.

Re: How many miles have you driven.
I can't begin to estimate my mileage! Never mind the ~30 cars of my own I've driven, for a while I was driving more in mainland Europe in hire cars than I was in the uk as well as company pool cars and many thousands in the work truck collecting Minors from all over the country
My best guess is 300k to 400k miles in the 22 years I've had a license.
In the last year 28k including about 2.5k in Minors.
My biggest annual mileage in a Minor was just over 20k - that was a really hard year as it felt like I spent as much time fixing the car as driving it. 3 gearboxes, 2 props and 3 broken engine backplates and 2 dead engines including a midget 1275.

Re: How many miles have you driven.
I've done just over 150,000 in my Minor since I got it, way more than in any other car I've owned.

Re: How many miles have you driven.
Got my minor 3 years ago with 97k on the clock. it's on 22.6k now! That's about 8.5k a year. Driven 3 other cars, but only a few hundred miles on each. Taken my minor on 2 MOT's (1000 miles a pop) and shared the driving with my sis on last years MOT so about 600 on that!
