Blimey, just doing some staring out of the window and wondered how many times I'd have driven round the earth in my landy if I'd gone in a straight line for it's 177,000 miles, 7 times apparently! About
The moon, at its furthest point, is about 253,000 miles, has anyone's truck made it yet? Any made it there and back?
I had a 110 that ended up with 275k on it when i sold it :)
I had a series 2a that we (conservatively) calculated had done 462,000 miles!!!
Of course, there wasn't much of the original vehicle left by that time :-)
Crikey, so it's a Lunar (Land)Rover, and well on its way home, hope you can get all the dust out ;-)
That's about the same distance my father's 2a that he bought new in 1961 has covered.

My 110 got to the moon, though not with me driving it the whole time. Since Puffernutter is rebuilding it, I exepct one day it'll get back.
I know a chap who has a series I 107" which had, last I heard, done over
450,000 miles, all bar the first bit in his ownership.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
