SWMBO has my old Astra as 'run around', 116000+miles on the clock and still going strong!

I'll raise you a Ford Sierra XR4x4 2.9i with 239,000 miles on the clock still on the original engine, gearbox, etc and doesn't burn a drop of oil  ;D

That 4x4 in the picture has been modified to take a Lima mechanism...  :)

I had one just like that, but it didn't use any fuel either - I think it is still in the undergrowth at the bottom of the garden!  :smiley-laughing:

But, I bet it still burns rubber though! :evil:  I loved the XR4x4.

The Toyota MR2 had to be renamed in France, as when MR2 is spoken in French it is very close to 'merde'.

Cant beat the Aussie Fords, I met a bloke last year that had a 4.0 litre 6 cylinder Falcon 1996 model with 990,000km on the clock, original motor had been reconditioned once and second auto transmission, he used it to tow his caravan round and round Australia, he changed the oil every 5,000km and serviced the auto every 20,000km.

Only reason I found that out is because I have the same thing in a Ute only 1999 model.
