#1 Another 12 months, another MOT

Post by chrisfell » Mon Sep 18, 2023 3:59 pm

Pass, again. 5000 miles since the last MOT, although I haven't really been anywhere. Just going places in the E instead of going places in one of the other cars.

An impressive mileage 👍 I managed 1350 miles in the last year, but my excuse is the car spent 9 months away from home being worked on and re-trimmed. What annual mileages do others do ?

I have only done 1500 miles since restoration and upgrades completed around two years ago. I hang my head in shame as work load and weather are mainly to blame.....

It should be pointed out that my car is a long way from its most recent refurbishment, and it has never been properly restored. I'm not sure I'd be happy driving it as I do if it had just been restored.

I’ve done around 40k in my E since it was backp on the road in 2000.
Virtually trouble free motoring and included tours in S. Africa (twice), USA (3 times, including Canada) and virtually all over Europe.
Plus going to the local (and not so local!) pubs.

Love it and it will be my keeper👍. (My wife will probably use it to collect my ashes, when the time comes!)

55,000 since restoration in 1999 mostly through Europe. This year 5 miles :doh: through other priorities, having fun in the 911 and dismal weather.
