Also, factor in that he's only had a licence for just over 10 years
I'm trying to think what frequency of 7.75x things a year I do....
haircuts. not much left to cut tbh so will become more infrequent :lol:
buying headphones :roll:
worrying at something not worth worrying about :?
inviting UK friends over to Holland :wink:
visiting UK and checking on house, contents, garden :|
cleaning my bathroom ewwwww :lol:
changing the brush on my lekky toothbrush
rearranging furniture to some degree :roll:
anyone else?
There be plenty folk here abouts that don't fill up the tank on there Zed's 7.75 times a year.
Maybe Jamie's found a way to never pay for petrol.
Just buy a car with a full tank, drive it till it's empty, then buy another.

I actually used to do this quite alot. I used to buy a lot of cars through work or car auctions etc and pass them over to a friend of mine with an indie garage/sales pitch to sell on for me. I always used to use the ones with fuel in till they were near empty and then hand them to my mate to sell. Certainly helps with fuel bills and mileage on my "proper car".
Only do the odd one or two now and then these days but years ago I was probably doing 5-6 a month for a good 10-15 years so I guess I can claim I've owned and driven hundreds in my 20+ years of driving, Beating Jaime,
although not really! 
I would genuine feel guilty trading my proper car that often and in that respect I'm more ChrisD having owned a 205 GTI now for 20 years or so.
Jaime I don't know if you deserve an award or should actually be facing jail time for being such a "car traitor!"

I bought mine nearly 3 years' ago with 87k on the.clock. It's now on 106k.
I follow the service interval "reminders" and get an engine oil change done half way. Apart from the servicing costs, which included the big one, my only expenditure has been on a set of tyres all round and fixing the windscreen wipers, which I did myself for less than £4, and installing a new headlamp washer cap, which I also did with change from £30.
I suspect a new headlamp bulb will be needed soon. One of them is producing increasingly purple light.
Long may all of that continue.

Looked in very good nick "Benny" especially considering the age and mileage. Such a shame really it ended the way it did.
205 wise, I do have some photos some where but there that old they're pre digital!
It was "retired" about 8 years ago and literally has been out of its garage four or five times in that time, mainly to check it still runs, change the oil etc!
Yeah, we'd been through thick n thin together. From braving snowdrifts in Stavanger to keeping me warm in the middle of -20deg winters in Estonia, to wafting me down to the Algarve in the middle of summer and back, with no complaints, a real trooper through and through. Rip. He looks rather forlorn under his funeral garb these days...MACK said:
I just can't.....quite....bring myself to let him go. Snif.Marlon said:You've still got Benny under a sheet in the drive
No lol, been waiting for the fairer weather so i can strip out some bits n pieces before having it towed off down to the 'sloop'. Need to get the Focal speakers and McIntosh amp out as theyre all worth more than the car ever was :lol:
Also swap back in the original ambers for the clear (euro) front and rear lights as i'll flog them on fleabay for more than the car's scrap value!
Sigh.
