Yup! I somehow managed to do the same sort of mileage in my first month, it settles down after a while though. It's all those journeys where you decide to take the scenic route that does it 
I've done 2k in my first month and due to various things still haven't taken the car for a a real good blat. I'll get my rear pads changed, give them time to bed in then give it a roasting!
Speaking of bedding in new pads. As the rears as used less, do they take more time to bed in?

Yes and No. Yes, they may take slightly longer to bed in, but it's not as much of an issue as it is with front pads, as the fronts do most of the braking for you. Be gentle when breaking for the first few hundred miles but there isn't any need to treat them the same as new front pads.

Same here.. I get 40p per mile and I claim my expenses back as tax breaks. Having your own ltd. company rules!
We're paying per-mile as it is!!! 2/3 of every litre is tax.. well if that ain't paying by the mile, I dunno what is. Sodding politicians. Misinformed individuals at best!
EDIT!!! Not to mention road tax. Paying for ours cars just to sit on the road... I might setup my own road network.. if anyone is interested. (Group buy on tarmac anyone?)

Thankfully if PPM does come in, it's not going to be for 5 years yet.
I got a from a company the other month following up from the traffic surveys they were doing a few months back. I actually got stopped twice (both near the A40/M40 london way) and the lady was asking me all sorts of questions about how much I'd be willing to pay for use of the A40. She was almost prompting me to say nothing
Obviously that was my stance, but it's nice to know the phone ops feel the same

Had the LCR for just under a month now
Started off at 22,000 miles. Just had a look at the mileage and it is upto 25,450!
It's worth it though

Definately being on an empty road in your monster is the best thing in the world who cares if your racking up the miles and it cost you a fortune to go down to the local shops still al worth it,in my opinion, just for the response u get when that throttle gets buried
LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!
LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!
My car's hardly as exciting as an LCR - but I manage to do more than 2000 miles every month! lols. Car is 5 months and 3 days old - 11000 miles
