72,797 Micra, 52,366 Leaf at end of May
72,782 Micra, 51,256 Leaf at end of April


A whole 15 miles in the Micra......It it worth taxing/insuring/mot-ing it, even though its bargain basement of bargain basement. I've talked myself into it so far as a convenience, and a workhorse, and mobility should me or others need it when maintenance/repairs needed to others in the fleet. Loathe to put petrol in it at current prices.

1,110 in the leaf about the typical monthly mileage, although a few trips to Scotland in May have taken it over the 1,000.

Farthest North in the Month Ballencrief by railway (past Longniddry on the way to Haddington East Lothian)
Farthest East in the Month Cullercoats
Farthest South in the Month Cullercoats
Farthest West in the Month Scots Gap

Cullercoats makes it to mileage of the month Picture of the Month, the nice places to stop off at pics are on the eponymous thread here https://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/ ... 35#p718535

May yet again, a quiet month for me with:

141 in MX3
863 in Subaru
0 in RX400H

Total 1004

This month I already have impending trips to Leicester and to Peter's in Dorset so likely to be better!! :-D

As for the picture , well it had to be the vintage French car!! :-D

That's more miles than usual. Looking at my Google Map Timeline I seem to have done about 250 of them, plus around fifty walking.

Nearly 2000 in just over a week, to and around Scotland - in May of course!

MICRA, retained as a car of convenience, and a workhorse and saving public transport/hiring car should any of the maintenance fleet or the Leaf require some maintenance and repair which puts them out of action.

Following on from 15 miles in May, done even less petrol miles in June only 6. Seeing as the tank was virtually empty,
I went to the petrol station and paid £10 to put the contents of this into the tank, just to keep its "around the doors" workhorse activity going. MOT is up this month, may not bother with it and considering SORN.

June saw a few more miles thanks to the trips I made outside normal use: :-D
130 in MX3
1351 in Subaru
0 in RX400H

Total 1481

I had a fair number of pictures to choose from but trying to avoid the usual trains and boats and planes I picked out this 1960's Silvertone 1481 Valve Amplifier!!:

Furthest South in the Month gets the picture credits for June

Maybe a couple of miles South of this would be the actual point on the road between Knitsley and Rowley County Durham, but close enough.

July was a bit down on normal due mainly to keeping myself indoors under the fan during the heatwave!! :-D
19 in MX3
869 in Subaru
0 in RX400H

Giving me a monthly total of 888 got to be a good picture for that!!: :-D

Since today is going to have a bit of a motorcycle theme for me I'll set off with this one:

1365 in Subaru
0 in RX400H
