This thread made my day.

My 310,000 kms is only 192,625 miles! Looks like there's many curves ahead..

I just drove 3,000k over the Rocky Mountains and back, and it purred like a cat the whole way.

Did I mention I love my car?

Around 91,000 miles now. It had 68,000 on it when I got it 2 years ago.

To bump an old thread. Just crossed 110,000 on a working odometer. Replaced the gears with RC car gears a week after it stopped turning.

All the gears, or just the small one?

Oh, and I turned over 160K miles as I ascended Afton Mountain heading to Charlottesville last Sunday.

Figured I'd update this.  My little red sedan has 287,323 miles on her broken odo.  One of these days I'll get that little gear installed!

~~~EDIT~~~
I fixed the odo gear (finally) on Nov. 16th. Had to swap the speedo twice; the odometer on the replacement was bad and the six-cyl fuel gauge won't work with a single sender M42 fuel tank.

According to my records, I've set the odo at 289,617 miles.  Given that my overall average is 29.77 MPG, nearly a year's worth of fuel receipts came out to less than 2300 miles. I installed some new front rotors while I was at it. She's still running great!
