I still have Piglet ... he's a 97, and I bought him in 98.

So..who else has one they BOUGHT last century, not one that was built then, but one you've owned and STILL own :)

Flower  8)

Built in 95 (just!), purchased by me in '98.

She now stands at 190k miles and still goes like something rather goey!

Love that wagon!

Snorkly was bought in 1997 and still going strong.

Although he's like the proverbial street sweepers brush that is 50 years old. It has had 200 new shafts and 150 new heads.

There's not much left that's original.
