Driving back from the moon

velixer · 24th September 2016, 01:51

12years since the last of our cars rolled out.
Lets see how many people have driven to the moon 230,000miles and are busy driving back.

My auto CDTi is sitting at 256,000miles so far doing 52mpg brim to brim.

in 60,000miles i've replaced the alternator and both fuel pumps thats it.

Mine was at 249580 then when a jump start went wrong (cable fell off car I was jumping when relative moved against it) the car reset to exactly 370,000 km.

The dash flashed the millage in km and had blew the mega fuse which was great crack. Lol. Thank Tom Cruise I've a tub of spares.

Since its not to happy on the t4 but drives fine with no faults. My ecu was always wierd anyways crashing when you read or updated the dealer options. I asked mot man and he said he had to go by my millage on dash to cover himself so recorded what it was at last test around 230,000 miles.

Car now reads 232,000 so around 257k miles now. I look forward to the dash saying 250,000 finally but it might take until next year =(

So its been there but now it's gone backwards. Maybe when I get another 237k on it it will read 000,000 miles lol.

How on earth! Off earth I guess.... That's incredible mileage. What are you doing? Moonlighting for Uber or conducting intercontinental touring holidays?

My V6 sitting on 61k too. Now retired from her duties as commuting wheels. I want to keep her lowish miles. My new ZT is sitting on 97k so no where near the moon...more parked at the International Space Station!
