Hi @ all
Vor Jahren gab es einen amerikaner der hatte 2 millionen miles mit seinem Volvo P1800 runter, jetzt holt Saab auf:
" Car notches up million miles
A US man has given his car to a museum - after clocking up a million miles.
Peter Gilbert treated himself to his Saab 900 SPG after getting divorced 17 years ago, reports the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
It notched up 1,001,385 miles and survived eight deer collisions before it was parked for the last time at the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford.
"I couldn't kill that many deer with a gun," said Gilbert, a financial services salesman from Glendale.
"When I hit 600,000 miles, the car still wasn't burning oil. That's when I thought it could go a million miles," Gilbert said.
He says turning over the car's keys to the museum was like putting an elderly family member in a nursing home.
"But I know where the car is, and I can visit," he said. "And before I took her to the museum, I had a full detail job done.
"She was like a bride getting ready for her wedding. It was the first time that her carpets were thoroughly cleaned in 17 years."
Gilbert has since bought another Saab - with a few less miles on the clock."
super publicity fur den 901 !!
mein lieblingssatz ist folgender:
"She was like a bride getting ready for her wedding. It was the first time that her carpets were thoroughly cleaned in 17 years."
kein Wunder, dass er geschieden wurde :-)
