A milestone for all our vans. Most cars don't make it this far. My venerable van made 200000 in March of 2005 according to the picture. Had some fine champagne to celebrate.

I always wondered how many miles per year we drive these humble beasts. Mine has ~ 239K now which seems to say I need to travel more Thats only 6K total for the each past 5 seasons. Various failures and long duration repairs have kept the gallant girl away from her previous haunts. So I always wondered just how many frogskins I've had to pony up to get that 6K. I'll be figuring that out and posting it bimeby. Perhaps as guidance or warning to the new folks on the block just what it might cost to camp in style.

1989 Syncro Westy - SVX powered - SA modifications. Sidelined with injury.

Pensionerd.
