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. :D

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.

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!
