......to me this week.

Last week I arranged for my cars 40,000 mile service. As I was at 39,5xx miles, and knowing I had to travel to cockneyland and back, plus all the running about mileage, I thought by the time I got to the garage, I'd have ticked over the 40K mark.

As I pulled into the car park, I thought I'd see exactly how many miles i'd done,(just in case a spanner boy decided to make it his run-about for the day) Anyway, the odometer was exactly 40,000 even the tenth was at zero.

Little things......

Mean a lot.........

Cool, always nice to keep an eye on your mileometre isnt it. I watched mine tick over the 90,000 mark which was ....nice. What sort of car is it?

A really boring Toyota Avensis. Trouble is their so bloody reliable and impossible to break. This is my third, and I've never had a breakdown. (You know whats going to happen this week!) I traded the last one in at 105,000 and that was on the original clutch and battery.

I was quite suprised they replaced the brake pads this week under warranty. That thing usually comes under wear & tear.

I did 155,000+ miles in my SAAB without a breakdown.

I sold it recently to a friend... within a few hundred miles of them having the car it broke down!

LOL Thats more likely to be them driving drastically different to yourself/ driving badly/thrashing it rather than Sod's Law though don't you think?

Bimmercat and I were saying in another post what excellent cars Toyota and Honda make. In every sense from what I understand, they just dont aesthetically appeal to me sadly, Ive never even been in one lol but would probably be surprised if I did. If its "boring" and you've had three then there's gotta be something good there aside from reliability?

+ yeah you were lucky to get away with wear and tear on your warranty hehe

"If its "boring" and you've had three then there's gotta be something good there aside from reliability? "


Its just the quality and reliability and value for money that keeps me there, I still think they're boring midlle-aged family cars. But they're the best in my price bracket, nothing wrong with them, but just don't "do" anything for me other than being a mode of transport.

My tastes only start to get excited around the ?50K bracket.

aw thats a shame though. I think a lot of "regular" cars are extremely nice, but them Im not one to get excited over pictures of sports cars. I just think id EXPECT a sports car to be fast/luxurious etc but when a regular car is like that its a pleasure...get a VW

The Honda S2k, I had one for a while after owning a prelude, monster power, and fantastic roadholding.......................
