How long before you'd clocked up 6000 miles (1st service)

Just wondered how long you were all taking to get to the first service...just curious!!!

Rather frighteningly I've just clocked over 3,000 miles in the first 8 weeks!

Why this is scary to me is that the last car I had for almost 8 months and only did 7,000 miles.

I put the extra miles down to having to go longest country roads route everywhere and 40+ mpg being an incentive to drive for the sake of it (roof down, nice drive etc.) which you don't get with 22mpg hard top motoring

I'm at nearly 3000 in 5 weeks, so its gonna be soon!

Its just such a great drive, you have to take the longest route to get anywhere, so you can spend as much time as possible driving it.

Had my CC 6 months at the end of June and it has just had it's 6,000 mile service.

I used to be paranoid about clocking up miles in other cars but I can't resist driving this one!!

At the moment the cc is still keeping its value, so i dont mind doing a few (thousand) miles just for the sake of it. Hopefully this will continue long enough for me to still get good resale when the time comes to get a 406 coupe.

I am still amazed that i have found a car where the novelty hasnt worn off in under a year!

Well ok yeah - so the novelty HAS worn off i guess, but at least with this, if i had my cash back in my pocket, i'd still buy the same thing

The novelty hasnt worn off for me yet, and if I had the money back I'd certainly still have a CC

I STILL aint bored of pulling up at traffic lights & putting the roof down before the light changes (born poser me!)
