I've had my current swb a year and a half and have covered 14k. Couldn't say how many off road miles, but alot, seeing as the truck gets driven off road most days, work, dog walking etc.

About 35 miles a week for work and I try to get out laning at least once a month if lucky twice a month, usually only get 5 or 6 thousand a year on it.
We use her car for family and social stuff and that does about 14k a year as she does a 50 mile round trip a day for work.

Just clocked 2000 miles since last MOT (End of Feb 09).

Only use "The Beast" at weekends, mainly to and from the stables and to horse shows.

Mind you, with all the modifications, the MPG is down to about 18-20 mpg around town !!!

So my Hyundai Coupe is the prefered choice of transport for the rest of the week, just clocking 32-35 mpg around town.

About 25 miles per week unless I'm going off roading or laning, then that adds another 100-150.
Average across the year is about 60miles per week as I use the company car, or BadGirls StreetKa for most stuff to keep fuel costs down.
A full tank of petrol normally lasts me 2-3 months :D

Between 5000 and 12000. Cant pin it down really as I dont have a weekly routine as such but going for a pint of milk is a 12 mile round trip for me.
The first 2 years I had the car I was doing a lot of driving from Dublin to London and back again and was nearer 20,000 a year.

Laning, at least 12 trips a year. Getting to start of lanes and getting home again probably averages 100/150 miles. Sometimes more, sometimes less depending on location.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

At the moment, my round trip to work totals 12 miles for the week (6 miles each way, in on monday, home on friday / saturday :lol: ) and probably that again for general pottering at the weekend.
Tis only going laning or playing that really puts the miles on, as evidenced by the fact that I last filled up just before the picnic at Greg's 6 weeks ago, and will probably have to do so again before the next on this Sunday.

Re: How many miles a week do you drive yours ? by jmc on Sat Dec 05, 2009 12:52 am
I do 22 miles a day to work and back so thats...hang on...5 times 22 equals...100 then 10 ...110 miles per week :oops: maths is terrible and its late.I also do a bit of running around for fetching steel or other supplies or going to see customers etc and that can vary.Had a treat this week as I went to the breakers in High halden in kent and picked up the steering idlers and centre tie rod he got of a fronty for me.I spent half an hour browsing his frontera collection ,2 green 1 red lwbs(all petrol)and 5 swbs all in various stages of dismantling.At weekends it dosent do much except maybe 10 miles to boys football on Sat and church sometimes on Sun. No offroading as yet but am beginning to find the green lanes round here.
Got it 3 yrs ago at 80,000 and its now 120,000 ish.

Mine is mostly short trips other than laning meets so Im a bit more anal with oil and filter changes than most.

I do give it some revs once warm to give it a good blow out.

Mine does 200 mile a week to and from work, weekend it's as necessary, then there's the laning couple of times a month when the lanes are open and the occasional P and P site with our local club, in all about 12,000 a year.
