Okay, in 3 months this is the state of play.

AU 1 Futura - 173,000
(5,000 kays in 3 months, the trip to Canberra did much of that)
AU 2 SR - 116,000
(6,000 kays in 3 months, 84km round trip to work each day plus the Mrs drives it to work some weekends)

my AU111 Fairmont has 143500 - got the car in april last year and it had 102,000 on it then. i did 15,000km in 7 weeks. driving back and forwards to my ex's place 700km away plus driving around that town knocked those kays up quick.

have done 10,000 in the last 5 months thow. so knocking them down slowly.

Damn ... I haven't done that much in the last 11 months myself.
Only 42,000km ... although there was a few months without courier work .... so that explains the drop a bit.

Thats one thing I have noticed. You go to an import yard, and they try and tell you, oh, this Silvia hav 40 000 k's on it, this GTS-t has 95 000 k's etc, yet, the steering wheel is worn, handbrake looks worn, paint is all faded in parts, seats have tears in them, so I point out the Monty, and say that has way over 200 000k's on it, the interior has not one wear mark, and the only paint blemishes are from me hitting things and stone chips. People at work dont believe me when I tell them how many K's are on The Monty.
