221*** on the XR8. My current rebuild is an AU Windsor though with 88,***.
102*** on the XT 322*** on the 4by. Must say though, the 4by feels more realiable then the XT at times....

The Focus has just over 15,000km on the clock, the Fiesta hit 25,000km before I bought the Focus.
Old man's 323 is pushing the 300,000km mark very soon, I shall shed a tear. |

My old boss had a late model Maloo (or however it's spelt?) ute with over 400 000 on it, he also had an FG GT with over 200 000 kms on it.
It's fair to say he did A LOT of driving.

My brother took a pic the other day of my series 2 EF fairmont ghia with 333,333km and trip computer with 333.3km. He set it up on purpose when he knew it was coming up. The only things that have been replaced are the fuel pump, coil pack, hydraulic lifters and another 3.45 diff centre as the old LSD called it quits. Everything else is untouched. Been super reliable considering all the abuse it has copped as a p plater car and a lot of towing with a car trailer.
Oh and on the 13th of April the EF ran a 15.7 at WSID on its first run with 304,000km on it. Not bad for a basically stock car that does over 1000km a week for work.

1974 FJ-40 LandCruiser had 1,200,000. Could only tell by by the service records he had because the odometer only goes up to 100,000! It had been EVERYWHERE in Australia. I killed it rolling it down a hill
1985 HJ-60 Land Cruiser. AKA "The Tank" had 406,000 when I sold it 2 months ago. Original everything. Beautiful old girl. My new 2003 BA is a baby! Only 97,000km so far
