Whats your mileage?

Is there a prize for the lowest miles?
35,358 on a Dec 2004 reg. In the 2 years (march 9th) I've owned it I've only managed 7300 total though this would normally have been 9-10K. It's had 2 owners before me & the first 1 only did 300 miles in each of the last 3 years he owned it & 16,000 total in 6 years. The tyres have still got 4 to 5 mm on them & they are the originals! Think I'll retire (there's a pun in there somewhere) them on their 10th birthday. At this rate I'll be 80+ before it gets nicely run-in @ 100K LOL.

Did once own a 1973 HC Viva for 25 years, 8K bought @ 2years old & I then covered another 141K. 161K & still reliably running was a lot in those days. Also did 160K from new in a 1968 Hillman Imp in 14 years. Can't see todays cars lasting as well.
