I've done 7,000 in the last 11 months - and this is my second (fun) car. :?

I must be having a lot of fun these days. :driving:

Believe me, I'd love to use it more!

My workplaces are all less than 6-miles from home, so I cycle every single day. Only exceptions are meetings elsewhere that are too far to cycle, but that's literally once a month. Over a year that saves me approx 2700miles of dull commutes in the Z4 (60 miles/wk, 46 wks/yr).

And my main hobby is mountain-biking and we've got a campervan for that. Given we go MTBing 2 out of 3 weekends, that leaves little opportunity to use the Z4. I use it for shopping trips but only if it involves a detour (it's funny how the trip to Tesco 1.3miles from my house turns into a 30-mile round trip...) and visiting my folks and friends. But I do still love a pointless drive, i.e. just going and driving purely for the hell of of it.

But after driving the campervan it sure makes you appreciate the Z4 even more :)
