What approximate mileage have you done in 300's?

[V6 Man]

During a discussion with the Foggmeister who was busy saying I had no place on V3M as I'd deserted the 300 series and moved to the larger Volvos I pointed out that I had owned 300's for 5 years (longer than him) and had driven approximately 80k miles in them.

So, who here is truly the 300 driving guru?

I'll keep a table and update it as and when.

KeithB (Keith).................14yrs............190k
V6 Man (Rupert)...............5yrs..............80k
Girlracer (Vicky)..............2.5yrs............64k
990 (John).......................5yrs..............58k
Ronnie (Aaron)................5.5yrs............54k
Pettaw (Andy).................3.5yrs............51k
Chris C (Chris)................5yrs..............49k
Cornholio (Gavin)............8yrs............. .44k
fidgad (?)........................4yrs..............42k
Foggyjames (TWIT).........4yrs..............40k
Petavius (Gemma)...........9yrs..............27k
redline (Mick)..................1.5yrs............24k
340GLT (Adam)...............1.5yrs............23k
SoLaMaNdA (David)..........3yrs.............20k
jtbo (Jani)........................4yrs.............17.5k
SteveP (Steve)................1.5yrs...........17k
D4V2K1 (Dave)...............1.5yrs...........17k
arnagath (Mika)................1yrs.............10k
Carl (Carl)......................1.5yrs............10k
RandomHero (?)...............2yrs..............9.4k
Fuse (Marko)....................2yrs..............6.25k
Chesh740R (Pete)...........0.25yrs...........5k
Nick C (Nick)..................0.08yrs...........0.4k
GazzaD (?).....................0.06yrs...........0.4k
mtucker (Marlon)............0.003yrs.........0k
MJ........................................clueless

So the winner so far is KeithB with an incredible 14yrs and 190k.
Honourable mentions must go to petavius who has owned the same car for 9 years, and to Girlracer for averaging 25.6k per year

[SteveP]

Good topic! I'm still really a bit of a 300 noob... but still

SteveP - 18 Months approximately 17k miles

[340GLT]

1 1/2 years 23k
Adam

[petavius]

9 years and roughly 27k i think, will have to check - all in same car though.

[990]

Hmm:

5 years and around 58k (over 3 cars)

[mtucker]

1 day..... 0 miles

[pettaw]

Blue 360 3.5 years, 50K
Red 360 1 month, 1k

[SoLaMaNdA]

Just over 3 years and 20k miles.

[jtbo]

I have owned my 360 for 4 years at summer and I have driven around 28 000km, maybe bit less.

Everything is so close where I live that I really would not even need a car, but it is my hobby

[Chesh740R]

Me owned one for oh about 3 months or so, could have been longer, can't be sure. I know i had it just after finishing A Levels and i got rid of it when i first started work.

Drove around 5,000miles in it, could have done more but it caught fire after prolonged use.

[petefarrell360]

Good topic indeed, I'll have a check tomorrow to be sure and post then. Of course Rupert has a place on V3M, he's not only a knowledgable chap with regards to the 300 series, he also rescues a certain 300 driver who has a lack of fuel sometimes! As FOTV3 says, you don't need to own a Volvo 300 to be a member, and that's also the case here!

[redline]

had the car 17months did 21,000 in first year but only about 3,000 since then( and most of that was going to stondon and Donnington ) so 24,000 total

[arnagath]

I had 340 GL for 12 months and ive been driven about 16000km
With GLT i have driven about 1km

[MJ]

Well I've been driving for 2 years, but have no idea of millage as it's a shared family car.

However, I've been riding in 300's for most of my life Our old Mk2 360 was around for as far back as I can remember, and so there could have been a 300 in my like for 19 years, I'm not certain on that though.
