Quite shameful really knowing that the longest serving car our family has had was the Asia Rocsta, after a couple of Lada Niva's. Some dreadful choices the old man made after bidding farewell to the XF - something I never forgave him for. 6 years and 170,000 km we had that thing, until it gave up the proverbial ghost.
170,000 km's in the XR was actually surpassed a few months ago and today the Dark Horse mobile (ala just another AUIII XR6 HP) pips that Asia Rocsta off the blocks as the longest serving car in the family. Greatest ever car was dad's mighty XD, and now longest serving car brought back in Blue Oval flavour with the AU.

Nice work ... and still in very good nick for it's mileage as well.
It'll be a sad day when you have to let her go though. I just let the work ute go at 285,000km ... it was hard to drive away from it ... but the old AU served me very well.

Wow good work, as long as you service the car and take care of it. It will continue to serve you for some time yet. For instance, there are still some AU taxi's around still going strong.
