I decided it was about time for the tracker to have her moment of glory.. This is my winter beater and this is the LAST winter for it! Gotta get something new.

Lol, i'll be joining the 300'000 club soon, the 626 just rolled over to 291'000 this morning...but the damn power steering went again last week, put in a pump from a wreckers in fall, but it may be the hosing instead, but it's too damn cold to work on it. However, I don't think she'll hit 300'000 before I take the Mx-3 out at the end of the month (show on the 25th)

I'm expecting to pass the 300,000km plateau with the MX sometime this summer.

The Mx-3 just rolled over 200'000 in fall, so it'll be a little bit before she hits 300'000

My mx has approx 250,000 on it. Outrageous considering the shape its in. I did get rid of the old sohc though so it dosent actually have that much km on it now.. but you know..

The tracker has original everything, the only thing changed was the clutch.. Everything still works.. 4wd, 4 low.. its a beast.. :P

What did you think of the video? Stupid I know but I have to kill the time somehow!

Sigh.. i'm barely at 106K km... I've got a long ways to go.

At my current rate of driving I have another 19 years before I hit 300K.

heh i have *runs out to check* 189483 miles (not kms) on my SOHC, original everything and I've owned it since ~130,000~ and the only thing i've replaced was waterpump, alt, and timing belt...oh exhaust too, still runs strong...leaks alittle oil...but maybe a quart every month

i rolled over 160,000 miles this past weekend. i've owned the car since it had 86,000 miles (in may '02). previous owner beat the crap out of it, but it didn't show until i had it for 3 months. rebuilt engine (@ 115k) and many mods later, here i sit. all i need to do now is start getting paid when i graduate so i can BPT swap.

Franko, don't be surprised if i come looking for you for info on swapping when the time comes! if it wasn't you in the end of the tracker video, who was it?

It's encouragement for an AWD swap and some kickass winter tires :)
But also:
- Skiing/Snowboarding
- Snow drifting
- Snowmobiles (Don't have one, not enough snow, but it's cold as hell, that and there are no official trails and cops will nail you with trespassing)
- Skating (Boring)
- Sledding (Too old and I snowboard)
-

My 1998 CR-V is at 340,000Kms right now and is running like new. Barely any rust on it either. I guess I really lucked out on this truck and I only paid $6000 for it almost 2 yrs ago. I hope it lasts another 2.

Crazy vid franko, I am just glad NS didn't get hit like you guys did. It just kept going around us and hitting you guys twice as hard. I think it is time for you to get off the Rock.

My old girlfriends car had over 500,000 MILES and it drove like new. Actually while we were dating it was at 499K. It was fairly recent that it hit 500K. Thats 804,672 km for you all you non-yankees. I thought the speedo was nuts (or broken). Turns out it was origionally owned by a driving instructor. go figure.
