  • 100,000 Kilometres on the Clock

    100000

    100000closeup Yesterday, while driving to the UAE, my odometer passed 100,000! I was approaching Shinas and at around 99,994 I thought I'd better drive onto one of the smaller roads so I could be sure to stop when the odometer reached the magical number.

    I love my car! I've never owned a car in my whole life until now - here in Oman - and maybe I'm trying to make up for it now.  It's small on the outside but big on the insde and it has great character. Sometimes I even feel like waving at others driving around in an Daihatsu Sirion - almost like the Beetle owners did when the Beetle first came out. Also, for my car to cope with doing 100,000 km in less than two and a half years is not a bad feat in my opinion. It doesn't look one day older than 20,000.

    The people at the Toyota garage have kept asking me whether I will have a 100,000 party when the time comes. Maybe I should.  Anyway, here I am with my Daihatsu Sirion at the magical moment.

  • Very cool!
    I was about five years before mine hit 100K.

  • WOW! A handsome car for a handsome fellow!! I loved the part where you say it is small on the outside and big on the inside. I laughed, because my body is just the opposite....big on the outside and small on the inside. Being almost eighty years-old, my metabolism is so low that snacking goes right to my hips!! No way will I give up my snacks!

    Have a wonderful adventure in your new car!!

    Love,
