look...

lol, didn't realise cars did that much mileage!!!

Now, if that was me, I'd have reset the trip counter to 0 so the top one read 111111 and the bottom one read 000.0

Of course, if I had my biggest anorak on, then I would have reset the trip counter to 0 when th clock reached 111000, so when it did got to 111111, the trip meter would have read 111.1!!

okay, I'll get me coat!!

only realised mileage when I got to work and had the camera with me, and at the minute I am monitoring the MPG so reset the lower counter every time I fill up. Just done 400 miles when I got home and the fuel light came on.

GOt to put some jungle juice in tomorrow, but can't afford a full tank until friday.....

I bet you nearly chucked your muck when you first saw that! 25000 miles.

Oops 250000 miles....

I don't (personally) get the obsession with low mileages, I prefer that a car has been used and regularly serviced. I've never owned a car/van with less than 100k miles.

AND all of my vehicles have been VAG (no Skoda or Seat!!!)!
