Sure you`re only out of nappies, i`d say you done about 10 of them miles yourself. I`d say a 91 carina with that mileage must be fun to drive though, Not!

Dosent matter how much of the mileage you do yourself just what cars have high miles, only using it as my daily run around as i look for another car as i sold my trusty almera last week and i'm finding it hard to beat, but the carina is a great car it still drives tight and it keeps up with traffic not bother, had a little race with starbo, accelaration was terrible but got into her groove and lost ffs 90 ponys and a few escaped during the 90's. but i do adore these cars.

Here's not to confuse the people that are thinking about a small BMW car when you mention 3 series

Well done unkel, that pic has all the BMW connections - 3 series, M5 reg and even a motorway sign showing 'M5' over the trailer!

How does Lady Vanessa fit in with all that?

Current high mileage car: 1996 Ford Taurus LX, 3.0L V6 131,000 miles. Still pulls strong through triple digits. Just got back from a 700mile trip today, plan doing a couple of 1.5K trips later this year.

Overall highest mileage: 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, 3.1L V6 (60BHP less than the Taurus though) 160,000 Miles. Was still going stong until the current owner crashed it

Highest mileage car in Ireland: 1997 Seat Ibiza 1.4 122,000 Miles IIRC. Tough as nails that car!
