A friend had a red VW and it was hit by a bus, then after the repair, her upholstery was chewed by a horse. It was replaced by a white one that lasted for years. The old 6 volt ones used to cost a lot less for fuel. |

I had a purple Valiant Ranger I never crashed that maybe Purple is the right colour for a car. C1 |

| 632174 | 2008-01-21 02:22:00 | My Toyota has recently reached 301000 KM. Same motor, same gearbox. No, not using oil yet. How many times have you been around the world in it :p Actually my friend is ahead of you in his Nissan Pulsar at around 320,000km; motor never been touched (well as far as he is aware). |

| 632176 | 2008-01-21 03:22:00 | That KM-Miles factor got me thinking . . so I checked my Isuzu Amigo's mileage and converted it to Km . . . 291,235 MILES = 468,697 . 3KM . . . at about 225,000 miles/362,102 km I did a clutch and a rear wheel/axle seal about 2½ years ago . I think that little 2 . 6L 4-banger 5-speed manual transmission is pretty stout . . and so is the rest of the running gear . . . and I am not easy on it . . ask anyone who has had a ride with me . Oh . . . I did the brakes a year or so ago . . they didn't need it . . . but I did them anyway . . . and a set of Platinum NGK spark plugs about three years ago . That's all . Funny thing is, I never wanted to keep the little guy . . . just bought him for a temp set of wheels while I was building a new engine for my K5 Blazer . . . but decided it was such a kick to drive I kept him for myself . |
