100 000 miles
« on: 03 April 2012, 00:16:02 »

Having rooted around some photos from last summer I found one of the Omega rolling over 100k miles.

If memory serves, I was driving along the seafront in Worthing and was able to pull over and take the photo.  I think it was late July 2011 when I took this.

So anyone else remember when and where they where when their Omega hit the 100k mark?

Mine did that about three weeks after I got it in 2009. Now fast approaching 210,000 8)
Although yesterdays' speedo change has seen the indicated drop back to 108,000 ::) Next service is still due in the next couple of weeks either way :y

Had a 750 BMW that was approaching 123456 so went out of a little run to get to that point so I could take a photo, as I was pulling over to stop to take said photo, it rolled over to 123457.....break  ;D

Not in an Omega story, but back in 1974 Mum had a Ford Anglia (Dad couldn't drive). On Tuesday nights he used to go to a local Country & Western club and roll back home about midnight. One week the Ang was on 99,995 and we waited until he came in and dragged him into the car and drove round, slowing to a crawl as it flicked over to 00 000. I don't think he really knew what was going on but it was good fun. Incidentally the clocks only had 5 digits then so we had a car with 0 miles on it.

Never done it in a car, only in van, oh err sounds a bit rude, especially as I was working at the time.

   My motors coming up to 94,000 and at the rate I'm using it now, it will be early next year before I reach 100k (price of petrol doesn't help). I notice all your motors are V6's mine's a 2.2, just wondering if anyone with a 4 pot have any of the high mileages? :y :y
