(not an E series, an old Pintara):
bought in June 2002 with 266888 on the clock, currently has 330710km. I've owned it for 2 years and 8 months, but it was off the road for two months (engine died early 03), and I was off the road for another six (licence suspension). it'll do the job until I can afford a decent E series Last edited by Deanodriver; 13-02-2005 at 06:09 PM. |

My 'rolla's done 200,000km's which sure aint bad for a 20 year old car.
It hurts me to think my EF has almost done that amount in 10 years :(

GO LAY DOWN ON A WOODEN FLOOR NOW, or better still, in a coffin so you're surrounded by wood.
