Mines a daily driver, about 16,000 miles a year, in another two years I’m contemplating getting a manual e85 3.0si for the fun and UK holidays and get a more practical car/SUV to do the daily miles in as my 88 yr old mum finds ingress/egress rather difficult in a two seater convertible

When my mum was alive at 82 years old she had trouble getting and out of my Zafira. I think your mum is doing really well at 88.sars wrote: ↑Sun May 28, 2023 1:49 pmBut you are quite a special case, in a positive way I might add

Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Bought mine new Sept ‘16 and used exclusively as a (old) boys toy. Hence only 16,800 miles to date.
It goes into hibernation October and wakes up April / May

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Bought it about 18 months ago and have done 30.000km with it since. I use it year-round but the short runs and parts hauls are reserved for the Alfa, so I do make sure to only use it on drives where the straight six gets up to temp properly
Four Alfa's and a Ducati later, I've turned to the dark side...

Not bothered about the weather, but the wife's MC has seen little use since we got the dog. I probably do more miles on the bike than she does in her Z.
She still won't sell it though, not even with £700 a year VED. Which is a shame as I quite like the new manual Zupr4.
