Default How many miles have you driven in your S2000(s)?

Having seen the latest "Average Age" topic talking about mileages, I thought it might be of vague interest to see what sort of mileages people have actually driven in their S2000(s).

Note, this is not a "what is the mileage of your car?" poll, so please don't vote for that.
.
For example, my car had 17k miles when I bought it, and it now has 141k miles, so I have done 124,000 miles.

Surely an average yearly mileage would make more sense, your poll doesn't take into account how long the owner has had the car, what it's used for garage queen or daily drive SORN'ed over winter etc.

What's on the clock now minus what was on it when you bought it is going to be "what's the mileage of your car whilst you have it".

No, it wouldn't. I was just interested to see how much "seat time" people have had in S2000s. It doesn't matter how long you've had it in this instance.

Feel free to start a poll in that vein if you wish.

Fair doos , miles in the seat, 22,800 not a lot for six years, 3,800 per year even less now I've given up work. I'm guessing that's around 600 hours with 40mph average "commuting speed".

When I first bought my car just over 10 years ago I used to average around 6-8k a year but now my S2k is a third car and it spends much of it's life in the garage hence the reason am only doing 500 to 600 miles a year now. I have another performance car which I have spent a fortune on tuning and it gets used most of the time when I go out for a run. The s2000 is usually kept for them glorious summer days when we get them hood down shades on
