Just a thought...

Great idea methinks - action, something to watch and do, and you can get lots of willing helping hands :D

I could make up a sign saying approximately how many miles I've done in the past year and plugging the road trips I'll be doing in her soon.
I have just calculated that by the time I reach the National I will have done 12,791 miles in Fenchurch since I got her back on the road less than a year ago.

This includes my daily commute, the first LEO, London four times, Glasgow, Edinburgh, the midlands several times, Middlesbrough several times, and lots of shorter trips.

When our youngest daughter was commuting to work from our home in her mog, she was covering something like 2,000 miles a month.

Will current fuel costs I bet she is glad not to be travelling those sort of distances any more.
