Default 200,000 mile club

Just wondering.....How many of you have over 200,000 miles on your 850? Our 95 Turbo has 231,200 miles on it and we are going to be taking it on a 3500 mile round trip to South Dakota and back in the next couple of weeks.

Sweet!! Me, not yet, but the DD is getting there soon...

Are your coolant hoses all up to date? That's what I worry about on a long trip. Like to replace them every 5-7 years or so just so they don't pop on me in the middle of no-wheres-ville...

I have 213,000 and counting fast. I have taken mine on three 1,500+ mile trips this year so far. I have 2 more planned but will likely only take one of them.

+1 on the hoses.

Thanks for the tips on the hoses. I replaced them about 4 years ago when I did the timing belt. I'll double check them just to be sure.

So anyone besides RSPI and myself have over 200K? I have a hard time believing we are the only two so far. If so, I feel unique!!
