To date a lot more as we did go to Spain and Portugal on the 12 January 2020.
Back on the 18 March.
No miles since then, also itā€™s now not taxed, mot or insured.
Maybe in April, but not holding my breath.

Not taking mine for MOT due in March. I will leave it until we can drive it for pleasure. Then take it off SORN. As the dealer is 55 miles away would mr Plod say it was too far?

Did 400 miles just after the new year........Lincolnshire and back to Somerset to collect Grandchildren......Child Care bubble. Took the van so we didnā€™t need to stop at any services. (y)

Probably use it to take them back again at February half term.

Ever since lighting was by Calor gas.
Car hasnā€™t moved out of the garage for months. Iā€™ve used more electricity to charge the battery than diesel to run the engine. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
I've not used my m/bikes since November - wet, cold, salted roads, nowhere to go. It's odd that according to a scientific report that I heard on the radio the other day that in spite of the global lockdowns carbon dioxide levels from vehicles are unchanged. :unsure:

No idea how many miles I did last year. But for the 1st time ever I saw my odometer hit a significant number as I pulled back onto the drive.

many many years! since I was a kid
in 18 months between MOTs , my van did about 10 miles. Took it for an MOT in December and it failed due to rusty brakes. A good clean up, a drive down the road with foot on the brake pedal and adjust the hand brake cable and it passed without issue.

I pride myself on keeping up with maintenance on my vehicles, so the fail was rather embarrassing. My mechanic told me not to beat myself up over it, as he is seeing a lot worse come in or MOTs. The garage is booked out with repairs and getting an MOT slot not that easy, so they are not failing stuff just for the work, they don't need to. It's the same all round the area

You are such a stop at ome


Goodness you must be taking root :LOL:

Strewth :eek:
Enforced stop-at-ome, not by choice, beleieve me.
Just 1 night away, and that was because i was lucky enough to get an invite to VJ day 75th exhibition at the National Memorial Arboretum, as a member, and my Father was a survivor of the "Death Railway"
Missing that was not an option!!
Normally about 50 nights a year when i was working, now could be a lot more, just got to take things at a slower pace, post Covid.
Stay safe out there, and let's hope we can meet up somewhere, soon
