Lets see what you have got when it comes to going around the clock twice !!
Throw some pics up with a bit of history about it and we will see how many there are .

Cheers Mart.

Currently 120,000 and based on my current annual mileage I'll be 80 before I reach the 200k so I hope I'll be around to see both

Mine's just hit 205k... kilometers :D .

Some history:

Date of manufacture: January 1989
Date first registered in NSW: February 1990
There have been 11 registered operators since the vehicle was first registered in NSW.
This vehicle has been registered with the following usage types in NSW:
  • 01-Jan-1901 to 20-Apr-1995 Business
    21-Apr-1995 to 30-Apr-1995 Held for resale by motor dealer
    01-May-1995 to 29-Oct-1998 Business
    30-Oct-1998 to 09-Oct-2018 Private
    10-Oct-2018 to 09-Jun-2019 Pensioner
    10-Jun-2019 to Present Private
The car was originally sold by a garage that is walking distance from where I currently live. Interestingly, I can see from the service record that it's spent time in other states (QLD, VIC and WA). Perth, WA is a 4,000 km drive from where I live in Sydney, NSW - that would be one hell of a round trip!

This is my e30 I've owned it for 14 years and it's now showing 204000 miles that I know about
I believe it to be clocked at some time in the past

mines currently on 161K on the clock but a big fat ZERO on the rebuilt engine so a way to go yet.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Mine's on 159k - bought it at 158k. Will probably do 1k miles or less over the coming years so it will be a while till I hit 200k miles :)

Mine had a clock change from 158k to 96k before I bought it...I've done about 55k so the old gal has clocked about 210k miles...this winter is a bottom end rebuild ....probably about time judging by the slight slap I hear when cold.
