3 million miler...

Apparently, he did a million miles in 11 years.....

The trucks where I work could ,in theory at least, hit that sort of mileage (were they to keep them that long) - the ones that do such mileages, are "double shifted" i.e. ran 24/7.

I smell a rat!:p
 
Wonder if Volvo will jump on that and say look what our cars can do?

If they do, I HOPE they say COULD do, cos I bet the new ones fall to bits long before!

Certainly an achievement but as said above would be nice to see how much he's spent keeping it going?

Probably would have been much cheaper to sign up for a deal on a new Kia because they have 7 year warranties, you dont have to maintain them at all :D
 
There's a video about that guy when it had 1.7million on the clock iirc. Was very interesting, think he said he did like 120k a year in it while he was working but since he retired he 'only' does about 60k.. i'll see if i can find it on youtubes..
 
Christ that's a lot of mlles

My taxi is worked hard and has covered 50k in7 months but 3 million miles wtf
 
How many engines and gearboxes ?
I too would be interested in the breakdown of parts needed to now an costs etc. :D
 
I wonder how much of the car is actually original? Because, would that still count?

Reminds me of Trig and his broom.
 
Trigger And that's what I've done. Maintained it for 20 years. This old brooms had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in its time.
Sid How the hell can it be the same bloody broom then?
Trigger Theres the picture. What more proof do you need?

Pretty impressive given it's a petrol engine (or so it seems to me). That's in the league of diesel engines given there higher tolerances.
 
Swedish engines notoriously go on for ever. There are saab engines with a few hundred k miles on them that still show the original honing marks :eek:
