POST YOUR MILAGE:DRIVER OR GARAGE QUEEN

2000 360 F1 Coupe, 10,120 miles

 

CS... 4801 miles... 4 days shy of 2 months old.

I doubt I keep up that pace... but 10,000 by the end
of the first six months is pretty likely at this point.

 

1988.5 328GTS 17,300 miles.

Driver when not in the shop

Tubi, test pipes. 360 Modena wheels (only 3 since I cannot get a hold of a 4th ) Soon to install(Ie bought but am waiting to get here): complete custom CF interior and 355 seats.

Still trying to fig out:
350-55mm brakes front and 322-340mm rear and how to change the color of the 355 dash I have to orange, as well as 'edit' the dial so the the redline reads a bit lower, then figure out how to install the damn thing and make it work in my car. Lots too do, but the car is still in the shop!

Very Hot, rough, loud, and not that quick, but hey. I love it, even if I havnt seen it in over 2 months...

 

1989 328 - 48,300 miles, three majors (every 5 years).

 

Just turned over 16K after a track day at sears point in my 2000 360M.

JDAVID,

I went down this path before and understandably got slapped over the knuckles. Basically miles per year added does not necessarily imply that you do not want or driver your Ferrari. On face value it does, but when you look into peoples complicated lives there are sometimes many other reasons why the Ferrari is not driven ... many not just because they want to play Garage Queen

I, for example, if I bought a Ferrari tomorrow have family commitments with 4 kids, etc. to keep me busy, plus I am als restoring an Alfa Romeo. Thus while I might be as keen as anybody I just have not got the time to drive the Ferrari (unless I drove it to work and back, which I would do if I had secure and undercover parking ... but I don't).

Anyway it will be interesting to see the mileages ... but don't make the same mistake I made and relate low mileage per year to owners who do not want to drive their Ferrari.

Pete's learning ...

 

You describing your car or the girls down the street from the office?

The guy who had my car before me drove the heck out of it (16,000 miles in 20 months), so I'm trying to keep her relaxed - haha. Sorry David only putting about 100 miles per week on her - got popped by a trooper (off patrol, no less) on a back road about 4 weeks ago and have had to tone it down a little. Still once a week to work - 35 miles round trip and then various jaunts around the back roads. She misses her 300 mile round trips to the beach. I think you still owe me a ride in the 348 next time I'm in Cola.

 

1999 355 GTS F1,16700 miles

 

Well broken in '78 308 GTS with just over 92K. Almost 2,500 of that since I bought it last December!! Things will slow down this winter (planning on some engine work and new suspension), but right now I try to take it out whenever I get a chance and the weather is decent.

The best comment I heard about the mileage was " Oh boy somebody had a lot of fun with this car", and I intend to keep it going (the car, the fun and the mileage!!).

1990 348 : 31,700. Bought in January with 29K. Last weekend, another 150 miles.

Dang 60 hour weeks and cry-baby employees keep me from driving more...

1986 Testarossa- Norwood twin turbo, HRE wheels, Brembo GT Brakes, Purchased in 2001 with 4,250 (bone stock Garage Queen), now has 11,000 miles.
1990 F40- one owner Garage Queen with 5,400 miles purchased 3 weeks ago, now has 6,300 miles, plan to leave stock too much fum just like it is!

Four young beautiful and fun children (oldest 7 youngest 2) and one very understanding wonderful wife!

 

1999 550, currently at 23152. I've put 1600 on since acquiring the beast in late February.

 

40,000 miles on a 1984 308.

2,000 miles per year makes it probably a garage queen.


Time to bring it out for its next track event...

 

My 87 328 should roll 70,000 miles this week.

It had 53,000 on it when I bought it in Oct 2002

 

I traded for my 1982 BB512i in Dec 2002. It had 12,xxx miles on it at the time. After 18 months, it now has 17,xxx miles. And, it was in the shop for almost three months of that time for a major service and clutch.

 

49xxx miles on a 79 308. Runs great. I put almost 2k in two months just in weekend driving.

 

49+K on a 1988 328 GTS. Daily driver in the good weather, going in for its major this winter.

 

2001 550 9k miles

 

Can't compete with Brian, but I've logged 2300 mi on my '04 360 Modena in 4 months.

Not mine, well technically I owned that car for a few days but5 did not drive the Miles on it:

1998 F355 Spider, driven by 85 year old man 102,000 Miles (Yes, true miles)

 

2004 Murcie took delivery May 19, 1100 miles, just had first service performed at Kerbeck and to my surprise it was free. Weather has sucked but I should clock around 5000 bye the fall I hope.
