Next one will be half a million, but I'll keep going for all the 8's. Mind you, at 20-25,000 a year it'll be a while yet.....

For the last couple of days I've been looking at the odo every couple of miles and it came up this morning as I was coming up the sliproad off the A1 heading home. When I hit 400,000 I took about 6 photos on my phone and only one of them was in focus, so this time I shot video instead and it mostly stayed in focus. I reset the trip whenever I fill the LPG tank, if I'd have thought about it, I should have reset it at 444,400 so the trip would have been showing 44.4 too.

Not quite Triggers broom, still got the original chassis, body, engine, gearbox, transfer case, rear axle, interior and quite a few bits that haven't been replaced because I've worn them out or been refurbed. Even 3 of the wheel bearings are the originals.....

Volvo did a deal, back in the 60's I believe, that when your car had done 1 million miles you could exchange it for a new one.
Long since discontinued I'm afraid.

It looks like this was a one off deal from Volvo for a guy who eventually hit 3,000,000 miles in his 1966 P1800. I'm not sure about a P38 ever hitting that figure. Even Richard has got some way to go before he joins the million mile club.😀

But who in their right mind would want to swap a P38 for a Velar?

My early vogue se spends most time parked up only for shows this year --- maybe I should sell it but nobody wants a 16mpg vehicle anymore
My disco 1s are at 196000 so just run in
They'll be laid up for summer as use the consul 58000 genuine miles so far
Bit of a short stroll compared to Gilbertd s P38 mileage--- doubt be that high if not on LPG ---- which is non existent 30+mile radius of me now

Are you sure that you want to perform this action? This action is irreversible.
