Congratulations Jon for crossing that line, which I always believe is a positive sign of how the car has been maintained! :y :y

More cars, if maintained could also last at least as long. ;)

Theres a mig at the scrapyard round corner from me with 235,000 ish I think on the clock! (2.5 diesel)

The inside still looked as it should! These cars just eat up the mileage without any fuss!  ;D

I THINK it was there due to rust, as it was pritty bad looking on the outside!  :-/

I remember when I worked at a car garage, me and my boss went to look at a volvo estate (for us to buy, and then sell on)... Anyway, we walked away when we saw the speedo showing over 400,000!!!!  :o
