Absolutely.

I got very excited on the way home from Canberra yesterday when our 99 Futura Wagon hit the 1,000 kilometre mark! LOL!

I was doing the math earlier today, and when the cluster hits 4,000 kays, it will be close enough to 216,000 kays on the car!

that's cool mate...i was driving my dad's BA when it crossed the 100,000...but i was a bit lost & worried and missed the changeover while looking at street signs

i'm just on 187,000 in the AU2...i hope i can witness the 200,000 tick over, not as cool as the 100,000 though
makes me feel happy with the future knowing how long some of you guys have you guys have run your AU's
