    About 5,000 miles last year in my '90 Testarossa including the trip down to Le Mans and regular weekly driving.

    This year will be a few more as we are doing the Le Mans Classic, then down to Monaco and across into Italy :)

    That is great. Despite the racing history, these cars also make great touring cars.

    Under 100 on two Ferrari's. I'm shooting for 200 each in 2012.

    Maybe you should change your tagline to:

    "You mean to tell me that it's ok to actually drive these cars under 100 miles a year????"

    My sentiments the same. I purchased mine in mid-September and put 2,095 miles on it through the end of the year. Not a bad amount, if I do say so myself. ;-)

    Bought the car in June 11. In the remaining part of the year i drove about 500 miles including a 3 week vacation trip from Norway to Italy together with my girlfriend.
    All in all a fantastic car with a great personality.

    The happy grin (or probably stupid look) is hard to wipe off my face when driving this car;)

    This cars loves to be driven,

    I've averaged about 1,500 miles a year on my 1983 400i in the 14 years that I have owned it.

    what?

    Some people don't have the time, skills, or inclination to work on a car themselves. Sure, turning wrenches is fun for some people, but most people buy cars because they enjoy driving them...which you'll note you haven't done for 2.5 years (medical issues and trips to bad places notwithstanding).

    Let me put it to you this way. I do most of the work on my 911 myself, but I'd much rather be driving it on a nice spring day than rolling around underneath it wondering where the hell that 15mm deep socket went.

    finally, once I paid for it, its mine...period

    Not off to a good start. The Ferrari has had a ****ed alternator since late November last year.

    Just checked on days off................battery is dead flat. :(

    Gotta sort it out asap so I keep up the annual 1000 km or so of driving I do in it each year on average. :)

    Only about 2000 last year, mainly due to spending most of the warm months in Chicago while my car was in London!
