How many times did your van GO ROUND?

Postby pollag » Wed Jan 07, 2009 1:59 am

Earth's Circumference at the Equator: 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km)
so your Mileage / 24901 = ( eg 188000/24901=7.55 )
My mk4 = 7.55 Times ( retired at this figure, never made 8 :( )
My mk6 = 2.69 Times ( Jan 2009 )


Yours ?

10.67 times i think. my v reg 190 has 265678 miles on the original engine with not a puff of smoke or a reluctant start since ive had it, body is as rough as guts but it pulls well enough for a lwb. The service history makes some interesting reading though, its broke three cambelts in its life and has had a fortune spent on it over the years,hopefully it will last me another year, fingers crossed.

I used to own a G reg 2.5di I sold it with 500,000 miles on the clock so that was 20.079 times around, it never used a drop of oil between services, my mate owns my old N reg 2.5di and that was 491236 miles when it passed it's mot last year so thats 19.72 times around. one of my customers has just sold a Scania tractor unit on a S plate, it had just done 2,000,000km never been touched so thats 49906.25. amazing :D
