How many miles this year? 2011

I tried to document my trip this year in the Mondial section. Had some technical glitches but the car did well. The car was in the shop for almost two months early in the year, getting a look over, a new top and new tires, then I haven't driven it since early November but I still was able to put a few miles on it. 12,093. Any one go past this on an older car? 1987 3.2 Mondi. It was driven from Florida to California and up into Canada.

I have gone ZERO miles in the past 2.5 years.

 

I put about 400 miles on my 328 in 2011.

 

6200km (almost 4000 miles). Nearly not as much but sufficiently pleasant.

 

~2000klms...not enough

 

You should just buy a painting of a Ferrari

 

Do you work on your own car?


I do ......



.... in and around heart attacks and trips to REAL CRAPPY places.





There is about $11K of just new parts (my labor is free) on it in the past 2.5 years.

little over 2,000 miles for me, just bought her in October. Anxious for Spring. (and not particularly concerned with either what people think of my mileage or how far they drive their own cars)

 

I estimated that I would drive around 3500-4000 miles per yr and that has been the case for the past 2 years.

 

Hero material! I went & drove my machine yesterday (even though cars like it are loooong since tucked away for the winter here) and plan on trying to at least cover half your miles in '12.

Your an inspiration my man.

 

I do believe you were exceeding the speed limit

you're in central Illinois, no? was that I-55 or I-57?

 

Only made 2200 miles this year and even though it is winter here we have no snow (great). The down side is I just had a knee replacement and am down for a month before I can drive. Have a Happy New Year.

 

have been averaging 20,000 kms/yr for the first 4 years of ownership, had a bad year 2011, only did circa 8,000 kms, 80/20 road&track

 

Ouch. Had ACL repair last Tuesday. Good luck..

 

No sir. That was my driveway. Its really long.

 

I only did about 4,000 miles spread across two Ferraris, but 800 of that was on the day I bought one essentially sight-unseen (pictures only) and drove it home.

Now it is apart for the winter and the real fun has begun!

 

of course, how silly of me

 

good to hear of all these wonderful cars getting driven! hope you can get yours on the road soon mwr

 

Josh,

I actually started PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER this past week.


Waiting for several grand of more parts coming in and have to make from scratch some new engine bay wiring looms over the Holidays keeping me busy.

I really enjoy working on my car. It is probably over half the joy I get from ownership.



If all anyone does is drive and throw money at it, why own it?

You can "Love" a car that way, but it never really becomes "YOURS."

 

+1

 

Funny. I also like your comment at the end. "We're lucky Guys" Isn't that the truth.

 

15,000 km in 1 year (about 9320 miles) in my 599.
good luck to all of you...

 

~3,000 trouble free and joyous miles.

Took her out yesterday with the top down. It was 53F and the roads were dry...no snow in 7 days. No traffic. In lieu of skiing. The slopes are jammed, the roads are not. Ergo carpe diem. cognito ergo zoom.

Life is good.
Life is better driving a Ferrari...with the top down.

 

My car arrived in early August. 2000 miles since then.

 

around 2000
