Mike, unless you're Carol Vorderman in disguise you have too much time on your hands!

John, well done Sir!

Mine is currently 126k. Assuming my annual mileage stays around 6k, I'll reach your current mileage in January 2049 by which time I'll be 74 and the car will be 54. Hmmm, don't fancy those odds.

I was talking to friend about high milage yesterday. I was saying I hope to get it up to 200k by next year, and he was laughing saying I'm the only person he knows that wants to put MORE miles on their car lol.
