How much have you locked down? - Page 3

Just under 400 miles since the start of lockdown... Considering I average 1500 per month, that's a huge reduction! The big plus side is that it'll bring my PCP miles back into line as I was 7k over my annual allowance, not that it's ever bothered me in the past!

I know this may sound a tad smug

Since getting a blue badge (dodgy knees/hip) parking is an absolute pleasure. I can position the car so that I can open the door fully which allows me to get in and out. Previously there were occasions where I had to ask passers by to back the car out for me. These days zimmer frames are a greater danger than car doors.

Thanks for all the replies. Seems my mileage is about normal then. The car thinks I’m neglecting it a bit though. I got a message this morning saying the battery was low...

On the subject of parking, the worst thing about my children growing up (other than them realising I’m not really the coolest man on the planet) is not being able to park in the parent and child bays. I hate parking next to other cars.

149 miles. Have had a few trips to the hospital and drs but that’s it. I too have a blue badge and it’s very useful.

150 miles in over 10 weeks, did some food shopping today and covered 12 miles, first run since 22 May. My insurance company contacted me to ask how many miles I am doing each week and said they will calculate a refund for reduced mileage.
I use my Defender for my other trips,
