Title: One & All The Noughts
Post by: Bush Tucker Man on September 30, 2004, 21:37:10

This morning whilst looking for an electrical wholesaler* down Thornes Wharfe (the riverside area of Wakefield) the 'Old Girl' clicked over to the 'Big Numbers'

I thought it was worth a picture.

*Far too dear, so might as well use 'Screwfix'



Wonder if I'll see another 100,000 in her?, or I'll eventually get my 110CSW?
After all it's only an average of 1,639miles per month. But I've only averaged 700miles per month since buying it, so maybe I won't do it

:lol:

I did the same Richard, although when all the 0's came up on mine I was on the way back from a day out at Langdale Quest. I pulled over just to take a picture  :D

She was registered in late August 1998.
It's quite a differance to the Fabia - 18months old & only 9,600miles.

The Mondeo is just 3months old with about 5,000miles - not a lot for a 'Works Van', but if Joanne's in the Leeds office (or in London at a clients) she goes by train.

Think my 'commuter/training' bike (before I stopped commuting) was doing about 8,000miles a year.
Quite a bit to pedal, I suppose

Somebody on alt.fan.landrover posted a message about their Range Rover... it got to 099999, started to roll over, and promptly broke.  Why doesn't this surprise me?

They're no fun 'till they're this old though.  My sister and I had a bit of rivalry going a while back, her 1988 Fiesta 950 and My 1993 Cavalier 1.7LSD both hit 180,000 and the Fiesta's engine has never been touched other than servicing.  I think this means I can vouch for Slick 50 and regular oil changing.

I had a 1987 escort 1.3L estate company car - got it second hand but when I finished with it in 1991 it had 161000 on it !    it was serviced regular and still going strong - good little engines those old ford 'kent' engines.

I know someone who works at our Hospital who also drives a Taxi (well, he's one of the firms owners as well)
He sold on a 'P' Astra TD estate (the Izuzu engined version) with 430,000 miles at 6years old that had nothing other than regular servicing & 'wear & tear' items replaced
