Yes, yes today at 10 minutes past ten I pulled over, got out the camera and took this.
 Not that 300,000 is much to brag about a car with, just thought I would share the joy of such a rare sight on a car Pity the first number isn't a zero as well. And it's still going strong, bought in April 1998 with 87,000k's on it at $15,000 and travelled well over 213,000k's with me for over 7 years, I'm proud of my EB.

Mine's approx 600000 (second dash). approx 500000km before big end bearings wore through (at 160kph, not the best time to sieze a engine)

Thankfully over the years the worse that has happened around 200,000 the transmission required a complete work over ($1500 [Auto]), around 260,000 the timing chain went ($1000) and just recently the lifters needing replacing ($500). I think I've got through a radiator as well but unsure how many k's that was at. No head gaskets ever have been replaced

 But it's not the original instrument cluster, and seeing as the original clusters odometer was broken, I have no idea how many kms it has actually done...

I was spewing last Friday night when my girlfriend picked me up from a mates house in my car after she went to see a movie and it had 200009 on the clock, she didn't see what the big deal was but I would have liked to see it tick over the 200K mark myself
