    99 Renault Clio RT - 31,500. I average about 2k a year if that :o

    84 TR7 Convertible - 52,000. Averages probably 800 miles a year as I only drive it when its a decent summers day.

    09 Astra 1.9 CDTi - 59,000. OH's commuter car, he does about 130 miles a day.

    '62 plate Rolls Royce Ghost Saloon 52,000 miles - March 2012
    '62 plate Porsche 911 GT3 RS 47,000 miles - March 2012

    The reason the cars have such high mileages is that when I'm not using them I ask my full time driver to ferry under-privileged children to and from school and to hospital appointments. As such I replace my cars every 6 months. My new Bentley and Ferrari arrive at the end of the month.

    Do I win?

    '62 (1962 that is) Ferrari 250 GTO - 7,000

    Bought it for the school run but didn't like the traffic so mainly use the Eurocopter AS 350B3 now :)

    A fine vintage and excellent choice of city run-around car.

    I had considered using my helicopter for the school run but couldn't quite get round the logisitics - do you get the kids to absail out of the hovering chopper, chuck them out with parachutes or does their school have a heli-pad? That's the problem our school doesn't have a pad (I know, the shame of it)and the kids aren't keen on absailing or parachuting so we've really struggled.

    How much peacock food can you get in the boot though?

    I assume you don't buy the bulk ASDA Value Peacock food as it just isn't the same.

    5t.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Surely that's why we all have staff? My Butlers all get Jaguar XJ Portfolio Saloon 3.0d's and the Maids get Jaguar XF Portfolio S Sportbrake 3.0d's. Seems to keep them happy and they can get plenty of peacock food in the boot. :D
