What exactly do you do that takes you all over the globe or is this just leisure travelling?
I am retired and rather sit and watch the tide come in and go out from my balcony in Australia I want to see some parts of the world so i have a Range Rover I keep in the uk so I can travel to the continent and Asia. I have seen over 120 countries so far so there is only about another 180 to see

I do approx 20000 miles a year and usually the car is laid up 3 to 4 months of the year while im in Australia I wonder how many others do that amount of miles in a year and sometimes its not on tarmac but over unmade roads and desert tracks and it has not let me down yet so I think its quite reliable.Read some of his posts, it aint that reliable.

Finished painting both wing mirrors and refitted looks so much better now they both match and no peeling paint. Then cleaned all the door jams and cleaned the inside I didn't realise how bad it was till I saw the cloth. Pumped up the slow puncture the tyre needs replaced just need to wait on pay day as just put 2 on the golf and don't want to think about what a 20" tyre is going to skin me.

I do approx 20k miles a year albeit on tarmac roads & mine has never let me down.
It is going in for a new engine fitting tomorrow mind (will be the 3rd engine it's had). Hopefully this one will be the last.

Mines beyond the sweating power stage to the self rot proof stage.
Theres plenty in there... besides self changing oil can't hurt...
Infact we laugh but a friend of mine had a civic VTI that actually did do 5 litres of oil during a track day - full oil change in one day! Needless to say it was soon sold but amazingly the lad that bought it wacked an ebay turbo on it, wound it up to 250bhp (from a 1.6!!) and ran it for a year before it finally went pop!

My old t4 transporter would burnt nearly 100 liters of oil over 11k miles haha
My uncle had one of those, well the Vitesse. Lovely car apart from the brakes. He said one day it would kill him. The last I saw of the car it was in a hedge!
