How many miles do you drive a year

[Telboy]

Only 3000 per year ( not used for work ) based on my previous fiat 500 lounge. But hope to be out a lot more joy Riding. Might drive to Great Yarmouth Main prom, as that is used a lot for people cruising their cars. I understand Brighton is probably one of the best places especially at night for showing the cars. Not sure if that's the case still

Now i'm on 8450miles on the clock so done since 22nd of April 6685miles with in 6 months

I averaged about 3500 miles a year in my old car.

However, I have already done 750 miles in the Abarth and I've only had it 6 weeks!  That's a hell of a lot for me.  I'm trying to get the first lot of miles on before booking a trackday... and I just can't help but drive it.   

So, I've now had the car 9.5 months and I've clocked up the 3500 I used to average a year!  I reckon I could add another 1000 come December when the car is a year old - I am hoping to do Brands Hatch on 5th Dec, just before he 1st birthday.

I just can't help but drive the little thing.

ah - do you tow a car behind your Winnebago? 

[Maloutant]

WOW! I'm rarely speechless, but this surely must be a first on the forum! Abarth on tow - and not because it's broken down, lol. Good-size RV, too! Much kudos for what is without any doubt the most unusual use of an Abarth ever

All I tend to see normally are Smarts or C1s so got quite a lot of attention last time out.

I bet you did! My husband and I salute you, Audiseller!

Could towing a car like this ruin the transmission?

No. It's a manual.

Some automatics can be towed,some manual cars can't,Don’t assume that because a vehicle is a manual transmission it can be towed.  Not all cars can be towed with 4 wheels on the ground.  Check with the manufacturer.Many standard transmission cars can be towed, but not all.  Some have a transmission lubrication pump that requires the engine to be running.Some automatics can be towed as well.

As you say, they are all different. I've towed Smarts for years but unfortunately cannot tow a DSG gearboxed car. I had confirmation from the dealership's service department that it can be flat-towed before I bought. Quite a few a-framed 500s about but yet to see an Abarth.

I did 14k last year but that included two trips to Spa in Belgium and a trip to Paris as well, given its the second car it gets a fair bit of use as its such fun to drive, that what I hear everyone say about the 500's
