Not ever seen that sort of mileage on anyrhing I've owned over 56 years, though a '85 RRC had probably been there more than once, 15 previous owners but only 50K on the clock
If I'm still running my old Beemer when it's done another 48K I'll be sure to to give it a dash-board pat !

Mine topped 200000 a couple of months back, it was a false feeling as engine only done about 125000 and gearbox 70000

Thought it was only me that gets a kick from watching my odo go "over" like that! Highest one I've seen on one of my vehicles was my IVECO Daily on 485,000 miles!

I'll drive it, you can cough up for the fuel John! Where do you live? I've not been to Skye or Mull so far this year? Does that qualify as the "long way"? It'll have to be after my heart Surgery on Monday morning. Tuesday OK for you mate?

Always going to John O'Groats in a Land Rover especially in the snow. Sure you can't manage Monday afternoon so we can get an early start

Bugger...had a call and Surgery now rescheduled for Tuesday morning. At least it's not been cancelled thankfully! So Tuesday evening I'll be ready to go. Last time surgery was at noon and I was still home by about 18:00hs. Thanks for your kind wishes John.
