you can for me mate as i know myself iv covered about 90k in my 3 cars... i didn't include work vehicles on here as i DO NOT OWN THEM and we never used to have the same van all the time as there was a few of us from the NE on the railway and i go between 6 vans at the moment plus theres mileage...
well i bet its not far off.. when your driving from county durham to london and back every day for 3weeks theres alot of miles in that alone.. then when iv worked from the east coast right across to the west coast everyday for about 6 months
MY MISTAKE IT WAS INFACT DECEMBER 2008 WHEN I PASSED!!
theres work vehicles also within that mileage.. my 1st car a clio i covered roughly 10k in 3 months my 2nd car about 25k in 7months and then the cup had 45.5k when i bought it in october 2010 and its now sat on roughly 122k i do atleast 320miles a week just going from my house to the office...
no but considering iv done just over 45k in my cup in about 18 months.. also i used to work on the railway which sometimes involved driving from the North east to london and back and i never ever worked locally so it was always atleast a few hundred miles either way.. also as a few ppl on here...
good choice mate... dont listen 2 what any1 says about insurance its your hard earned cash at the end of the day so its up 2 u what you spend it on... Most ppl on here would have a heart attack if they knew what i paid for the remaining 5 months of my policy when i first bought my 172 cup...

As above really have seen it for sale and quite possibly may purchase it as a daily so i can SORN the cup and do some major work to it this yr.. They say the owner prior to them was a CS member so jsut wanting abit info if possible cheers
Just go for the 438's mate.. for that little bit extra theyv made better figures than the GT cams which are just basically 428's i know where my money would be going and hopefully will be when i get the engine sorted and belts changed
wouldnt of been worth it mate as id already worked it out and it would have probs workede out worse 4 me in the long run as im still going 2 have 2 do the oil leak.. 950 would of been took straight off w.e they would have gave me and i doubt itd b worth that much as its a high miler
Yep the engineer asked if id mind just to keep it under the repair limit as he knew i wanted it back either way so i said fine as either way id of stuck a 2nd hand bumper etc on and had to get them sprayed so its all fine by me

Well it was collected 2day by gladwins.. Hopefully the engineer will get it checked sharpish and get back 2 me.. I'm going to buy it back should it be written off but will not be repairing it as I carnt justify the repair bill along with the planned engine rebuild.. Would be financially daft to...
