a minor milestone...
so after 8 years, 6 months and three days from brand spanking new, almost half as much again as initial purchase cost spent on random techno accessories, seldom used 'rugged off road' accessories, at least four sets of different wheel and tyre combos, many off road forays etc etc and a warranty replace/repair list comparitive to the 'yes' campaign's list of demands....
"pitiful isn't it?" (mileage-wise)
^to quote a well known character from a great fictional love story.....
all other cars are cr4p - fact ! and theeeeennn......???
