That’s me! My 30 year old Jag, bought new in 1996, yesterday ticked over 45,000 miles for the first time. That’s 1500 miles per year.

Working at home will do that.

My previous car was 15 years old with 25,000 miles on the
clock when i changed it 7 years ago. I only changed it
because i was travelling more then the 1.5 miles to work i
usually did, plus i wanted air con. If i keep this one 15
years, which i intend to, i will be 70!
