Completed kilometres in 1M

The Big O · 05-19-2014, 06:04 AM

Hi all

I've just about done 34 000km (21 100 miles) in my 1M, which I collected 1 April 2012. Is that too much already or have others done more? I'm worried that I'm picking up too many kilometres even though I store the car away most of the time and use my other cars. Its very difficult to drag myself away from the beast once I'm in her.

Please let me know how you guys are doing milage wise.

I've done 16k kms since buying her new October 2012, and it's my DD. I don't think you should worry about how many miles you are doing our what others are doing as everyone's situation is different. Just keep enjoying the drive and keep the smile on your dial!

The Big O · 05-19-2014, 08:43 AM

Understood, but any tips on how you kept your milage so low? Do you have others to take the load off or do you use public transport a lot?

Jay-K · 05-19-2014, 11:43 AM

i'd say beat the crap out of it!
1 million km 1M is sounds interesting?

Amnizu · 05-19-2014, 11:43 AM

Roughly 8500 miles / 13600 km. I have another car that I DD and I save the 1M for nice days (rare in Seattle) and weekends.

A = We live | Life is meant to be enjoyed.
B = The 1M is a car | The 1M is meant to be driven.
A + B = Driving the 1M is part of enjoying life.

40K kms and rolling.
