100,000 miles club

[Rayny]

I've now become a member - My 1999 S202 C240 has now covered 100,000 miles. I'd like to get it to 250,000 - unless the rust gets to it first.

The number appeared on the odometer whilst returning from Dartmoor Zoological park - The real life inspiration behind the film 'We bought a zoo'.

I'm only a couple of thousand off now in my car.

Should be the first time I've ever seen a car hit 100,000 I think.

 

[Headhurts]

99,300 miles to go.

:bannana:

My cars have 280,000 miles between them.

Not the Merc but my other car had 28k when i bought it nearly 8 years ago.
Its currently got 114k so im determined to keep it until it has 128k.
Trouble is i only do between 8-9k a year so will have to wait roughly another 18 months, unless i do some unexpected road trips.

My Volvo turned 100,000 in March , I got it with 70 miles on the clock as it was delivered to me from Poole, I did have a w124 with 340k on the clock, but I have to confess I didn't put any more than a few thousand if those on it.

113,000 for my 2013 E220Cdi and rising.............

28 cars with an average 10,000 miles ?

Why do you bother with a diesel for such low annual mileage ?

The Honda CRV will outlive anything.

I think he means that it is one heck of a walk getting from one vehicle to another. Mind you, if the Earth has a circumference of just 25,000 miles, the cars could only be around 12,500 miles apart.

 

[Monkeylegend]

287k now on my 2011 E220 CDi and rising very slowly now, but still running perfectly.

Depends which way round you walk.

 

[TheFoX]

Depends which way round you walk.

Are you suggesting that the Earth is ovoid in shape, or are you hinting at that if the given path goes through Wales, there are too many ups and downs that will extend the mileage?



On the subject of vehicle mileages, has anyone here worked out how many miles they have clocked up since passing their (driving) test?

I reckon I've probably clocked up well over half a million miles in the thirty years I've been driving, and I know professional drivers would probably be in excess of a million miles or more. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a database somewhere that would tell us what sort of mileage we have achieved.

Mind you, I bet the DVLA could obtain a rough distance travelled by each and every one of us.

That's insane. 157 miles a day average, every day, for 5 years? Wow. Is it a taxi?

(getting deja vu now, have I asked you this before? lol )

 

[mercedesmanleed]

170000 on my w211 270cdi
