Just saw a thread on mileage and it got me wondering,...

 

On an original engine (mods or not) whats your mileage before a rebuild (and we are talking major engine out rebuild...)

I have 170,000 miles and I have no history of a rebuild any and the pistons which where took out where standard size and grade.

 

It could have a rebuild though. I will never know ;)

Srae, thats quite a respectable mileage eh ? is that the original engine etc ??? How many owners before you mate ?

I am the 7th owner :eek:

 

I actually think I owned it for the longest.

 

In its early years it was a company for a firm in Scotland, so it got passed from manager to manager and was probably used on a lot of long distance trips. Hence the high mileage and lots of owners.

Good thing about a company car though that is got serviced at all the correct times and the book got stamped.

A friend of mine bought one of those old 7 seater Peugeot Diesel estates you know the ones that all the Taxi drivers used to drive about in and it had done 1,000,000 miles Incredible or what ? those Peugeot Diesels just go on forever...

There was a car on Ebay a few year ago which said had 3,000,000 miles on it. :eek:

 

My dad knows some one who bought a new Honda bike to do courier work on. He did 66,000 miles in 1 year. Honda in Japan bought the bike back at full price. :confused:

Not bad at all mate, I have only 63K on mine and it runs really sweet so reckon with the regular servicing its not going to be an issue, so, not wishing to ask too many questions (like some) whats 170,000 miles away? (The sun is 93,000.000)

The moon is about 240,000 miles so it wouldn't get you there. I think it's about 25,000 miles to go right round the earth so you could do that 7 times.

But it'd cost about £30,000 in petrol. I think.

I'll go club class then. :hyper:
