Welcome to the Nut house!!

I think theres something special about running a higher mileage car, it becomes a challenge to see how many miles you can get out of it. One of the guys I share a workshop with has an Audi A6 2.5 Tdi which has just rolled over 370,000 miles on the original engine and gearbox, all just maintained very well! hes doing nearly 1000miles a week in it, running Veg to!
