Re: How many miles in the month?
By contrast to last month April was easy to work out:
C5. 226 (airport run, 4 trips for shopping, and the elderly lady TV collection)
MX3. 24 (1 shopping run and delivery to 2 self isolators)
Total. 250
So a 250 picture probably the easiest to find so far, but I think I found a fairly special one:
C5. 226 (airport run, 4 trips for shopping, and the elderly lady TV collection)
MX3. 24 (1 shopping run and delivery to 2 self isolators)
Total. 250

Re: How many miles in the month?
as i went into 'self inflicted' isolation over in France and have just got back after 7 weeks not 2, its a bit of rough'ish guesstimate this time
give or take a few its 1945 miles in the Caddy, Skud and on the velo with anxious looks over the shoulder for breaking the lockdown in the midst of rural France where you dont see a soul anyway
so a Google image search comes up with......yes you've guessed it....plenty of war images
found something interesting as a last minute stand-in

Re: How many miles in the month?
So the Leaf now 33,939 (1231 miles in 3 Months) managed to drag up a satisfying picture...but
and the Micra 66,679 (257 miles in 3 months) nothing.
But as is my usual practice I choose the random digits which the mile-o-meter ticks over to at the end of the month for a celebratory picture but I abandoned the search for a picture for the micra.

Re: How many miles in the month?
None! Only seen my car twice when I took post round to son's place. Perhaps about fifty walking.
Going to borrow my car on Wednesday, beginning to run out of things not available in the shops my kids go to and the buggers won't take any money when they do pick stuff up for me.
Had second daughter and her kids here this afternoon with a red cross parcel, despite being told not to.

Re: How many miles in the month?

There just wasnt anything remotely interesting for the number 66679.
Unless someone can dig one out for me.......

Re: How many miles in the month?
Thanks Mick. and Olduns two nice cars to put in my virtual garage!
In my meanderings locomotives can come up with the goods but Class 66 doesnt use that particular number 66,679.
However I did come across this site. Class 66 in its various ownerships is getting some interesting colour schemes.

Re: How many miles in the month?
You definitely have spotted it. Excellent observation and significant milage memory! Don't need the number. The red nameplate reads Stratford 1840-2001EDC5 wrote: ↑27 Jun 2020, 12:30Just looked over the road from my house and think I've spotted it?NewcastleFalcon wrote: ↑01 Feb 2020, 09:27 Just in case you wondered where 31 271 is currently residing......LLangollen Railway

"31271 was formally named ‘ STRATFORD 1840-2001’ at the National Railway Museum Railfest 200 event on 31st May 2004. The naming is A1A Locomotives tribute to Stratford’s rich locomotive history and, in particular its leading role in the Cass 31 story. Whilst 31271 spent its first year in traffic as a Stratford loco (it was also based there between November – December 1988 and March 1989 – October 1990, no less than 75% of the class were allocated there at some point during their BR careers."
That refers to the London Stratford Traction Maintenance Depot which operated from 1840 to 2001, not Stratford-upon-Avon
..and with this post I have just reached a significant "mileage" of FCF posts.....11,000 not out
