300000
Re: 300000
Definitely, the prize is to drive it until it reaches 300000!
The lowest miles I've ever had on a car was a N reg Golf TDi estate, think it was around 86000.
My first car, another Golf (1.4) had 143000 when I got it, put it on to about 185000. That felt like it had done a lot more,
and I didn't know you needed to change oil and things like at the time, it didn't even have a thermostat and the clutch cable
was tensioned with gaffer tape and rope! How it coped with those miles I don't know.

Re: 300000
Glad the BX is still going strong and you still like it.Missed it when I was doing the 2012 Challenge,the ZX was a bit bumpy to say the least!! Have you checked the drop links for the noises on the front,a common problem,or it could be a bottom ball joint.

Re: 300000
Congrats! I've just clocked up my 100,000th mile in my 2CV (189,500 miles in total). BX Mk2 is just behind on 187,000. Mk1 is on 231,000 so 300,000 still a long way away for all of them!
