When I started driving my '67 bug in 1994, the odometer read 99,603. I don't know why I remember that but I do. My uncle from whom I bought it told me that it had turned over once. As I was pulling into my driveway last night, it read 98,262 so in 26 years of legally driving it, I've put nearly 100k on it.
So technically your car has close to 300,000 miles on it these days... it's certainly earned its semi-retirement!
Haha. I guess so. I had hoped to hit the 300k mark before the 30th anniversary of buying the car but I didn't make it.
Ah nuts.

That's a lot of bug driving to do in ten years.

Out on night manoeuvres.
It has gone round once, so 124532 miles. I put about a thousand miles on the clock annually - bit less this year as I decided not to rush working on the fuel lines in February. And then I, well, you know...

Not much driving this month due to wet weather and another broken starter motor :-[
Good day today though.
