A Quarter Million Miles

MessageAuthor

Today marks a milestone in the history of my 1990 Volvo 740 Turbo. Just as I pulled into my driveway, the odometer turned over 250,000 miles! Yes, I know this is terribly self-indulgent, but this car really is a member of the family. We even celebrated with cake! Hey, any excuse for cake, right? Pics below: . . . . . Cheers, Madman of the People

I had a Vauxhall cavalier that had done 250.000 miles, the gearchange was sloppy but that was the only tell tale sign apart from the odometer :thumbs_up:

You are a madman - you could have been celebrating a great milestone with fireworks - it's a good thing Volvo made them square! :thumbs_up:

Well done. Car looks nice, but the cake looks fantastic! Only another 2,250,000 miles to go and you'll match Irv's P1800! Best wishes for the next 250k
