Some 2 years later she moved away permanently and we bought the Fiesta for a grand. Nice car.
We kept it for 2 years only as I realised it was doing circa 200 miles a year. 
Of that 200 per annum probably 100 of that was me taking it to work a few times to keep the battery topped up 
My Wife refuses to drive now so we are back to 1 car but even that only does circa 8k a year. See more... |
Wow 200 miles, that is definitely a record and I can't see anyone doing any less that that mileage 
The garage did say my wifes battery needed a charge which I wasn't aware of, but the short journeys don't help so I'm going to take it down the M40 occasionally to give it a good run.
