Add a reply indicating your mileage if you think yours might be the highest or lowest.

Don't know if Alex is going for the Highest or Lowest :D but we've already had at least one vote for less than 10,000 and 1 vote for more than 100,000. I'd be interested to know what the actual mileages are.

My cappa has done 9875 miles. It had only done 5000 when i bought it a year ago. According to the service record and receipts I have, it had a recorded mileage of 172 miles at its first 6 month service, even though it had a private owner from new.................un-wanted present 8O

Well Matthew Prescott over here (Australia) hasn't yet registered, but he bought a 95 a few months ago with 7000km, (4350miles) and has now done about 11000km (6830miles)

It's now closer to 12,500kms (7,770 miles) (since buying the car in January at 7,000 kms). At the current rate I'll exceed the total distance my car has travelled in 7 years in less than 3 months! :!:

I drove mine back to Adelaide from Sydney after I bought it there (about a 1,500km trip) and it went very well indeed (particularly as it had been in storage for the previous two years). The only problem was hitting the speed ceiling at 140 :!:, and the amount of luggage space (although this suprised me too, with a passenger and our gear from the week's holiday plus our purchases from Sydney all comfortably squeezed in for the trip). So a 750km drive from Melbourne should be no problem!

We're not going to let something trivial like an ocean put a dampener on our Cappo meet.

Hmm... I'm a little suspicious of that Cap in the sea picture... is that a reflection of a tree on the bonnet and windscreen? :wink:

Well, probably. The original was taken on a dry day by Ian outside his house in leafy Surrey, UK :!:

Would have mentioned it earlier but was trying to avoid stealing the 1000th post :P

(or have I just been working way too long today and failed to notice that you had noticed really :evil: )
