View Full Version : What mileage have you covered in your nova in the past year?
Hi! I look at png most days but don't post much and after reading facebook is killing forums then lets put some effort in! I read nova00's update the other day it reminded me that I had only done 280 miles in my Sr this year. So please add to this thread with your spec of nova and mileage you have covered in the past year and a pic of the car if you wish. Maybe a pic of your car at a show or nice drive somewhere! :)

Was about 1k miles in the sting.
The astra ( daily) only hit 7k this year, had a bit of a rest compared to the last 2 years of over 20k!
About 450 happy miles in the SR :)
2000 miles plus. included 700 miles in one one week when we took it to Holland/ Germany

I have driven my GSi just 5 or 6 miles. It's all complete and ready to go, just don't particularly enjoy being in it. That may change this summer though.

Sadly I don't have a nova anymore but in my first one 25 years ago I used to abuse petrol like it was water, my first year of "cruising" the streets for endless fun I'd done 80000, yes it was mental and I enjoyed every minute of putting 4 star in my 1.0, happy days.
I reckon approx 500. That's to billing and retro and Combe a few times! Lol

Thanks mate :thumb:
not too sure yet, I've not been to see it in at least 3 months. My plan is to get over during the holidays whilst I've got a spare minute though!

That was on a weekday we might cover 200 lol weekends we were hitting much more lol
My petrol gauge was broke at the time off all that so we often ran out of petrol, used to send a mate to fill up the petrol can on many occasions.
