3M mile Volvo.

Bit of a long read but very good. How many engine re-builds do you think it needs in 3 MILLION miles?

It doesn't mention a HGF every 30k...

Averaging 172 miles a day since 1966 is no mean feat either

I was thinking that - there is a man who really really must like driving.

So he's spent approx 8 years of his life driving - and that's if he could (obviously impossibly) drive 24/7

Great story!

I once had a Porsche 944 as a part ex with 400,000 miles........not even close to the Volvo in mileage.....but it was a lesson to me at the time that a well maintained car could take the mileage in its stride. The only visible clue was a super shiny steering wheel .

I remember reading when he hit 2 million and got a new Volvo gifted - amazing to hear he's continued to another mil

I used to drive for the auctions when I was a student. Shiny wheels and worn pedal rubbers were always the dead give aways....

Sounds like N3, but only 300,000+ miles at present.......
