The moon's distance
|

The moons (average) distance from the Earth is 238,857 miles.
I'm sure there are a few dervs out there that have done this mileage... Those that have... Kudos!

There are GTi-6s that have done that mileage!
Total shinfo though.
18-10-2012, 04:44 PM
Really? GTi's have? I'm surprised!

This is one of my favorite ways of f*cking idiots off who drive with their fog lights on
"Excuse me sir/ma'am can you see the moon?" "Yes" "Well Id suggest that seen as thats over 200,000 miles away and you can see that you have no need to have your fog lights on" Oh and my Ex's DTurbo went over 240,000 in our ownership and id happily have that car back.

They probably think you're going to end the moon question with some lovely story.
You could also drop the fact that the moon is the second brightest object in the sky after the sun.

Wasn't there a guy on the 6 forum hitting something like 260k miles still on the same engine?
Also im pretty much exactly 100k miles away from this target now lol ![[Image: IMG_20130925_181339_zps95df48fa.jpg]](http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww278/4WayDiablo/IMG_20130925_181339_zps95df48fa.jpg)

My gti was on 150+k when i broke it for parts, engine was spotless inside too. Was a previous snapper but a full head rebuild and tbh wish i'd kept the engine complete having seen its insides!

Wish I had bought a 406, full leathers and electronic climate ftw! . Shame they look like 306 estates, but worse!  and even the 110 HDi isn't quick.But the thing with taxis is they're gonna be good! Taxi drivers have to think about passenger safety and comfort so they don't rag them, they're always running and moving so don't get a chance for things to rust or perish, always serviced, always cleaned etc etc.

Come look at the 406 on my drive, that used to be a taxi and is on 255k. Slow as f*ck and been badly painted white
