I think it is easy to get high mileage in Scotland, because aside from the central belt, everything is far away (okay guys, I mean far away in UK terms, not US terms - a totally different scale!)

To visit my folks is a 560 mile round trip and to visit my younger brother is about 1100 miles there and back.

Still, that is what my Scooby is for. I'll probably replace it this year at 130k miles as it'll be paid off in the Summer. And I intend to buy one with a turbo - probably the Impreza Turbo from 2000, because the newer WRXs just don't corner the way I like (in fact if I compare mi 1997 Sport to my colleagues 2003 WRX mine will get from A to B much faster if there are many corners. Obviously no contest if it is a straight line, but roads in Scotland are all about corners)
