Default How many miles on your CGTs?

Hi!

I would like to know, how many miles you drove your CGTs.

I know one car here in Germany with over 49800mls (more than 80000kms) on it and so I would like to know if this is a record or if there is anybody around, who drove more with his/her car?

I was talking to an owner in the UK yesterday, he has had his car from new and has just passed 30000 miles, on the original clutch as well!

Over 14,000 thousand miles so far. Second clutch, 3rd set of tires, second set of brake pads.

5,600 miles, original everything except oil and brake fluid! Michigan weather has definitely limited the amount of driving!

Just 1,400 so far, but then I only bought the car in December 2006!

(Off topic - took the car to its first track 2 weekends ago. Incredible. Just incredible.)

23,000km (14,000mls). Had it for 21 months and have changed the front discs (under warranty) + front pads. I drive the car almost daily (being in Dubai helps alot) and I have tracked it over 5 times in the past year & a half.

Default 3,800 on mine

I did 2,500 miles in 2005 and another 1,300 in 2006. I've had mine in the shop twice. First was to clear out some "misfire" codes. Second was for the 1 year servicing, where they replaced a leaking fuel valve under warranty, and did the first oil change.

I had some guys from the local Ferrari club in my garage recently - they were stunned that I was "driving the wheels off" my car. I didn't know how to respond, so I just told them "when you're confident the car will get you home, you're more likely to drive it".

I agree, specially with a car like a CGT, which you can't use everyday like, let's say, a Merc S-Class.

It is the only CGT I know with so much km's on it, the yellow one in my avatar has got less then 12k km and another car I know is up to 30k km, but when I saw his 80k km I thought this must be a record and it seems to be one, since nobody in here came close to it.

One of you should move to San Diego where you can drive your GT year-round

Of course then you'd need to hand the keys over for a day. ;]

If you don't mind my asking, what do you all do for a job? I see some very impre$$ive lists of cars in your sigs.
