Who's running the highest miler
« on: 02 February 2007, 10:08 »
Mine's a 1990 8v on 185k  - original engine, no oil consumption yet. Still awsome to drive. (Hope I'm not tempting fate!)

My old 1.6 driver was on just over 220,000 when I sold it, and still going well. GTI's only on 123,000.

Mine's a 1988 F plater 8v currently on around 182k but hasn't been driven on the road for the last 3 years.  The Head has been rebuilt by me and before that it didn't smoke at all.

I don't think a semi will give the same results

I collected an alternator for my daily from a chap in Winchester last weekend, he was telling me he ran a mk2 with 360k on it when she was scrapped. Engine still strong, bodywork shot.
