    06 CMax, 210000 km
    00 MX5, 110000 miles
    The Cmax is doing about 110-120 km every day on the commute, bought it with 130000km on it, except melting a few wires, hasn't gone wrong. Expecting to put another 100000 km on it.
    The MX5 threw a coilpack, which in turn burnt a hole in the cat, but engine sounds better then when she bought it with 40000 miles on it, cause it's getting serviced now.
    I really need to find a job closer to home!:(

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    05 Renault Modus 104,000 miles

    04 Hiace will be retired at the end of the month, parked up and used for parts, DOE is too expensive, most of that mileage is Dublin-London and Dublin-Germany, engine uses only 0.5l of oil per 10,000 miles!

    Main Car '98 V70 T5 220,000 miles
    Second car '99 S80 T6 200,500miles
    Other car '00 Beetle 1.8T 106,000 miles

    V70 was the cheapest car we've ever bought, with the most miles (182,000 when we bought it). To date has been the cheapest to run in terms of repairs and most reliable. So far all thats failed on it during our ownership has been a MAF sensor.
    Beetle has been a feckin' time and moneypit bought that at 85,000 I think.

    Previous owner had it sitting up for quite a while.

    Had quite a few issues that needed to be sorted when I got it most caused by the amount of time it was laying idle.

    I've pretty much sorted all of them now so happy out:D
