Significant Mileage Photos...

[myglaren]

A Civic Paul, the C5 was going to be unfeasibly expensive to MOT last year so opted for this as he had it in his yard. Almost a year ago.
Just MOT'd today at 68,697 miles

Shame.. Good car.. I'll bloody sort mine one way or another and you can buy it from me and be C5 driving again..

[myglaren]

I think the Civic will probably do me for the duration Paul.
I hardly see it, my son has it for work most of the time, he lends it to me for a couple of days a fortnight.
It has been very reliable. Cost me £160 for MOT and service, all I have spent on it apart from a tyre with a bleb in it and petrol.
Not a Citroen of course.

Not that significant a number but I checked the mileage before I left this morning and it struck me as worthy of a mention, if only to highlight that I will have a very special number in another couple of tankfuls of motoring!! Unfortunately I was on a dual carriageway 9 miles later so unable to take the obvious shot!:-D

Own work

For some reason the numbers don't really rotate as they should on this car, if i had waited until the number(s) 2 was in the correct position i most likely would have covered another mile or two. It doesn't look too bad in this picture but for some reason the last number has always been hard to read & seems set back minutely, i should have sorted it out when i did the rev counter re-soldering mod.

No trip-o-meter engineering but all the 4's up on the Leaf today.

44444 round about Flodden Northumberland

Doubt this'll get to all the 3's whilst the car is in my ownership.

Turned over this number a couple of days ago. Surprisingly passed MOT in March with no advisories
It's really worked for its living the last few years carrying loads of: sand, cement, tiles, paving slabs, assorted plumbing bits (3m length of 22mm copper pipe go inside the car easily) and 8'x4' sheets of plasterboard/insulation on the roof rack.

Heres our 207 Sw .. bought on 125k 5.5 years ago.. all original.. she's still all original .. even that turbo hungry engine hasn't eaten the turbo yet..

[myglaren]

Shame it wasn't February Paul.

[citroenxm]

That was taken a while ago.. she's on 203k now..

But yea.. didn't notice that before

Not a huge tally of km for a 23 year old car.
I did 500 km of autoroute yesterday, so thought I would miss this, but got home with 2km to spare.

This is my XM btw. It has done over 2500 km in the last 6 weeks, and is complaining, the electric lock on the driver's door is playing up. First fault in my 9 years of ownership.

My XM with matching digits for the first time since 1999

This thread has been honoured today Sunday 26th February 2023, by being selected by the random hand of the FCF Archives February Ferret 2023 link viewtopic.php?p=746618#p746618
For this special day, and today only, for participation purposes all and any mileages recorded on the odometer of your vehicle as hereby classified as significant, and bang-on topic for the thread.

The avid number-noticer can always extract something from the random digits anyway So today if ever there was a day just to throw off a few "can't be bothereds" let's get into a just play along mindset. In my threadstarter post back in February 2018, 5 years ago I mentioned a few things for additional interest.

"Course a little bit of embellishment with time/place etc is always good for comment and chat."

So today why not engineer a time/place on a drive-out. Park the motor in front of some Stately Home gates, take one of those door-open brochure shots, take a dash shot in the twilight with the comforting glow of the display lights
...be creative.

Normal and ordinary is ok too of course....like this'...

61215 and 74228 for me

So did this chap finally find out the answer to everything? and if so why?

BFTW

Good one Mick. Here's one interpretation, maybe it was the 2405th time he found the answer to everything
