Re: How many miles does your rx8 cover in a year
It’s good to know I am not the only one with a garage queen,I must make the time to enjoy it more.
Also as bad is the fact that the black car has done one track day this year.I think work life balance has gone wrong somewhere.

Re: How many miles does your rx8 cover in a year
I got my insurance in December with 3,000 miles limited mileage per annum, which i am about to hit this week, so a phone call to my insurers tomorrow will be in order to increase it a few more thousand.

Re: How many miles does your rx8 cover in a year
Roughly 2.5k - 3k on the R3! May drop a little bit this winter as she will probably get SORN'd for a few months.

Re: How many miles does your rx8 cover in a year
Is there a prize for this, MOT September 2021 the mileage was 30,342 so far with a month to go its 31,149.
£630 pa road tax to sit in the garage I think "money sense than more" applies there.

Re: How many miles does your rx8 cover in a year
I may have mentioned this before but with many superbikes the pence per mile on tyres was more than fuel - at least it was before fuel prices went nuts - but have you seen the prices for bike tyres

Re: How many miles does your rx8 cover in a year
Doubt I'll reach 5000 miles for the year since I bought Rex number 2. Half of that is long journeys down south to visit family a couple of times a year.

Re: How many miles does your rx8 cover in a year
I can beat that Del.
Rexy has only done 22k and is insured for 1,000 miles per year, which is more than enough.
It does spend more than half the year SORN to save on that tax.

Re: How many miles does your rx8 cover in a year
Ann last year it went for its MOT and when I went to collect it my friendly neighbourhood MOT tester said "I`m afraid its failed - you haven`t done enough miles" and it had done a whopping 687 miles that year.
Think I need to put mine on SORN now.
