How long has the car stood still?

[jim8flog]

On the advice of my daughter I decided to do my shopping around 7.30pm in the local town (There are just some things that I cannot buy in local Co op.)

Driving away from the house a split second of 'panic' it was only 6.15.

I had to think twice about that after reading your text. I now realise you meant the clock on it hadn't been changed. Both ours haven't moved for at least 2 weeks. We got enough shopping then to see us through and stepson has brought in other odds and sods we need.

Mine moves 7 days a week, missus has stood for three weeks. Keep telling her she needs to have a drive in it. She won’t listen.

Since getting our bus passes the car became almost redundant... Probably used it more in the last few weeks, than normal, for local trips to shop...

Could you not take her car one day a week for her? I drive my car most days but use the other car least one day give it a run

It’d be ideal, but have an anpr system at work alongside a car parking pass. I wish it was a simple procedure to get another pass but it isn’t. It’ll be moved soon if I throw some sensationalist hysteria at her about her tyres blowing up or engine catching fire.

Got home at 0330 this morning. (Out partying)

Car is getting used almost every day.

 

[SocketRocket]

Getting around 4 weeks to the gallon.

Just the 460 miles today ?

Swapped them over today. Beyond bored lol decided will be easy for me to get the bigger car out all time from next to house instead of the wife attempting to get the other one around it.

Time will tell if I get bored again

Mine made it onto the drive to unload my clubs for a clean
Made it back onto the road outside without incident. Its moved about 40 yards in 2 weeks...
Not going to be putting too much mileage on it for a while.
Driving tests wont restart until they relax social distancing measures so I cant restart until then
Fortunately the lease company is being very cooperative and extending it by 3 months..

Not used mine in 2 and a bit weeks.....

That's good that they will do that. Very understanding

My seat has done one trip to work (50 mile round trip)

The Honda has done 14 round trips to work since 15th march

Will just divide the milage up between them until this is over lol keep them running

Since 22nd. March it has not moved until today; 2 yards forward (free wheel) and 2 yards backwards so I could treat the garage doors.
Same again tomorrow ?

 

[Lump]

Not moved in 4 weeks...unlike my van, done 5000 miles in the last 4 weeks.

It leaves the garage for grocery shopping (which, despite precautions, remains dangerous), picking up carry out food orders, and taking the dog for her monthly allergy shot.
That's it. Nothing else. All of my own medical appointments were cancelled, but Molly gets her shot.
The doggy nurse comes out to the parking lot, brings Molly in, and then brings her back out. They charge my credit card number. I'm not allowed inside.

Drove my beast yesterday. Loved it. So nice to drive. I have missed it.

Drove the Z4 today, fun, but not the same.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Every day to and from work

 

[ScienceBoy]

Only driving mine every other week now but usually it’s out 2-3 days a week.

Since moving over to a cycle commute in Feb I had reduced the days by at least two sometimes three days!

Now I just take it out every other weekend to ensure the battery keeps up, even though it’s a new battery.

I’m probably going to reduce by annual mileage by a quarter at least this year!
