There is a guy named Darryl (red06 was his username), when I met him in 05, his AU1 XR6 had something silly like 14 thousand K's, now it has around 40. Be interesting though.
As for me, 200 700

Mine is on the increase still ... it never stops ... it seems like it is getting higher quicker.

I think it is close to the 220,000km mark at the moment. Still young really ... but I do a lot of Sydney metro kays ... so they haven't been easy driving mileage at all.

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.

XR8 is on 166k, AU2 is on 130k odd, so I answered 150k, being the average of the 2, and you only get to vote once.

A local Ford dealer here in South Oz recently advertised several interesting vehicles to celebrate their new showroom/service dept. One was an AUIII XR8 with 2,600kms on the clock! (would have been in the Managers stable) for $26000 (wish I had the moolah)
