    10,000 mile review

    #44 has finally reached 10,000 miles.
    I have had it since 7,500 miles...about 5 years in my possession.
    I find the more you push on the gas the more it gives.!
    It just left the shop..replaced original timing belt, tensioner and water pump.
    I drive a 2016 Ford Transit Van for work everyday and when I get in the Consulier it's quite a welcome change.
    Can some of the other owners post their milage also please, it will be cool to see how far some of the cars have gone.

    I have driven the blue car around 1200mi this summer. Not sure how many miles are on the chassis. Obviously the drivetrain has got very low mileage

    My guess is Johnny has the record for most Miles driven.

    Mine's still at 0. Hopefully I'll get some time to work on it this fall/winter. I started cleaning around it in the garage to make room last weekend.

    #21 was at 33,000 miles when I got it 2 years ago. It had the problem with the speedo when it would be pinned when you fired it up and would be like that for a few hours. my 3,000 mile trip home said I put on 7,000 . I pulled that speedo at roughly 51,000 miles this spring before the upgrades commenced. So realistically it probably has around 44,000 give or take a thousand.

    I'm with Benji, mine is at zero. Was a week late to the party, and have an incomplete roller. Just finished building a garage, will be moving in soon. Work will commence.

    Mine said 29,000 when I go it. But after I got the car on the road and took it to about 50 mph, the speedo said around 90 and the odometer was spinning fast. So i am wondering if the 29k is right.
    Once the speedo warmed up it seemed to work. Went to SDAC and it worked most of the time. Then it stopped altogether.
    i put a few miles on it using e old speedo then changed it to one that works on gps, so it's pretty accurate.
    I have added 19,598 miles since the new speedometer.

    So yes, I have driven to two differant SDAC events, to southern Calif a few times and all around the northwest. A few miles!!

    Johnny, pretty sure you've got more recent GTP miles than anyone!

    I've put around 7k on mine. It helps that it doesn't snow here in FL but I just about wont drive it in the rain anymore, gets a little too squirrely with me behind the wheel. I think the farthest I've driven it is about an hour away....but I did get stuck on I-4 coming back from daytona for about 2 hrs
    I'd bet that I've spent more time under/over it than in the drivers seat. There's so much to worry about in a car that sat for so long.
    The good news is that it's more new than old now

    I've had #16 for just over two years now and put approx 500 miles on it. Got it at 16xx and it now has 2154. I'm not winning any mileage races
