Just clocked up 10.000 miles since sep 2005, about 8000 for 2006 probably.

Mainly trips to the coast, 40 mile coffee shop trips, the coffee shop is 3 miles from my house so not sure quite how this works ;-)

One big weekend trip to Belgium, France and Luxembourg, about 800 mile round trip.

Plan to do several more trips in the spring...... before i succumb to a 1098 sometime in the summer :-)
