221*** on the XR8. My current rebuild is an AU Windsor though with 88,***.
102*** on the XT
322*** on the 4by.

Must say though, the 4by feels more realiable then the XT at times....

Turbo blew last week(original)so I upgraded to a unit(750hp billet) that requires a 4" inlet filter and with stock piping this is the only option,I mean only.Will still make over 400rwhp at 13-14psi and drop a skid or 20 at Gazzanats this weekend After this weekend the odometer will be in the 150's***Rear bar needs to be resprayed anyway.

This is on its way,will this sufficeIts a process that requires some hard saving for a month then ill shove 20psi up her clakka.

The Focus has just over 15,000km on the clock, the Fiesta hit 25,000km before I bought the Focus.

Old man's 323 is pushing the 300,000km mark very soon, I shall shed a tear.

My old boss had a late model Maloo (or however it's spelt?) ute with over 400 000 on it, he also had an FG GT with over 200 000 kms on it.
It's fair to say he did A LOT of driving.

Talking Re: How many km on your odometer?

I've had my FG for 18 months now and it has got 10,700 kliks on the clock.

I was away in Europe this year for 3 months and did 14,500 k's in a Peugoet 3008 while I was there lol.

My FG has an easy life ..

My brother took a pic the other day of my series 2 EF fairmont ghia with 333,333km and trip computer with 333.3km. He set it up on purpose when he knew it was coming up. The only things that have been replaced are the fuel pump, coil pack, hydraulic lifters and another 3.45 diff centre as the old LSD called it quits. Everything else is untouched. Been super reliable considering all the abuse it has copped as a p plater car and a lot of towing with a car trailer.

Oh and on the 13th of April the EF ran a 15.7 at WSID on its first run with 304,000km on it. Not bad for a basically stock car that does over 1000km a week for work.

1974 FJ-40 LandCruiser had 1,200,000. Could only tell by by the service records he had because the odometer only goes up to 100,000! It had been EVERYWHERE in Australia. I killed it rolling it down a hill

1985 HJ-60 Land Cruiser. AKA "The Tank" had 406,000 when I sold it 2 months ago. Original everything. Beautiful old girl.

My new 2003 BA is a baby! Only 97,000km so far

I'm just about to reach 118,000kms on the BA. Bought it at 6000kms, most kays I've ever had a car for.

The EB has 230,000kms on the clock.

2 previous cars I've owned both reached over 300,000.
