Where is the Joy?

Is it better to own a car and do very few miles maintaining it's condition as you pass the years together. Or jack up the miles and enjoy driving it, take full advantage of what it has to offer you?

My opinion is the 75/ZT was made to drive, a mile muncher, a safe comfortable means from A-B. As a consequence the TF I bought on the same day as my ZT (support MGRover, or they will go bust.....not enough of us listened) has done 1/10th the mileage of my ZT. One car I will keep till my retirement, the other I will enjoy now.

What about you?

P.S. I hope to see close to or above 200,000 miles in the ZT (serviced every 10k and nursed on every journey - now doing 30,000 p.a. +). I hope to see 10 years plus in the TF and at the rate we are going it will have less than 20,000 miles by then, waxoyled every 10,000 miles (8 years to the second waxoyl service LOL).
