It's the presence of mind to remember to hit the trip at 65431 that impresses me most. Shame the temperature can't be made to play the game too. But we've not quite reached 98.7 degrees - either in F or C. (98.7F = 37.5C if anyone is interested) And in C we'd all be dead anyway.....

I'm afraid that I only ever notice potential milestones of this kind after the event or by luck, as it happens and too late to do anything about a photo. Great presence of mind there Ian.

It was handy that I only needed to reset the trip a mile earlier to be fair!!

Terrible effort I know, had to get my middle lad to take the picture, but at least he waited for the trip to move onto 306.0! It’s taken much longer than expected to hit this milestone, 26 months.

A poor attempt by me with the trip but the mileage when I pulled up on t eh drive the other day made me smile (having clearly spent too long waiting for bands to come on stage at gigs).

Latest effort. Sadly, I missed getting 666 on the trip by half a mile!

Not quite "all the anythings" but three zeros on our pool Galaxy when I arrived back at work on Saturday morning (having, of course, washed it first) Stu may recognise the sticker on the speedo.......

Actually took this on Remembrance Day, but what with Covid-related work stuff I forgot to post it!

Something of a mini-milestone today. Oil change due too, booked in for a week on Tuesday.

Managed the first of two (or maybe three, if I'm lucky) due in fairly close proximity yesterday. Not the best picture, as some will have seen, but I was (technically) parked in a Bus Stop .. .. ..

I just remembered I caught all the 3s the other day. Cant believe it's taken this car that long to get there. Some of my previous cars have been knocking on the door of 60k by this age!

Once again, managed to miss setting the trip for the full effect - but happy enough with this. Keep telling myself "that's enough now", but.. ..

Utter fluke. I was just checking the total summer trip mileage, turned the car off and this appeared:

Bit of a resurrected thread this morning! This was from the weekend just past.

Good skills, you've either given your car a haircut or changed it? Must have missed the new car thread.

Good skills, you've either given your car a haircut or changed it? Must have missed the new car thread. Got this, Kia Optima estate, a year past in October! Looking, somewhat half-heartedly tbh, for a 5-series touring instead, preferably a 30d. No rush though.

Younger daughter sent me a photo of her Audi mileo a few weeks back, she'd parked up and noticed it was on exactly 50000. I parked the T-cross somewhere a few days ago and noticed this on the trip meter: (I'd previously missed the mileo going to 12345 because it's usually hidden when on the move, with its place taken by the cruise control settings)

That’s just reminded me…total coincidence, but I saw this when I parked up a couple of weeks ago. It was actually 49.9, so I drove to another parking space!

Excellent! I know you've commented a number of times how little mileage this car does, but 10 years for 22K? Just .. wow!!
