Re: Who's got the highest Mileage GTA on the forum?
do these miles not tell their own story? By and large they are under average and some way under average. My own 147 GTA (2004) did 30,000 miles in three years. I took it of the road for two months, fitted new wheels and a Cobra exhaust and bought my new spider for work. The GTA will stay with me forever doing just enough miles to keep the engine right. By the way has anyone any ideas on what sort of miles these week-end cars should do to keep everything ship shape?

Start her up on a weekend, ten miles to warm up, give her a good bit of stick for another 30 and a gentle ten home again.. Should do the trick I'd say |

At one point I was on for an average of around 35K per annum!! (company fuel card, before you ask!) So I started to use the diesel Megane we had back then instead ... until it developed a gearbox oil leak, brakes replace all round and the turbo blew!! Went back to the GTA for another blissful 10K, then luckily started to work from home so the mileage is relatively static now.
The GTA has been in the garage a fair bit since new, but nothing that serious!
... and definitely too nice an everyday car to save for weekend only use. In fact, I suffer withdrawal symptoms if I don't travel at all during the week! |

Re: Who's got the highest Mileage GTA on the forum?
Could you add also the first registration months so it would be possible to calculate average mileages per year?

Maybe a 156 equivalent of Jeremy Clarksons "Toybota" is on the cards... :
Next winter the GTA (Whippet) and the 166 (Bella) will be parked safely in a basement..... no driving, cos after the rains both my GTA and my 166 needed new alternators... dunno why but too much of a coincidence ...
and i didnt drive through flood water, so i can't understand why?? |
