Yeah I am calling it crap. actually did ring the dealership and when I asked about a Mitzi doing 900ks the guy on the other end just started laughing.he's probably still laughing now

If you did know anything about driving then you would know just how tiring it can be, oh and my 500ks a day didn't include stopping and starting or having breaks.So i can imagine someone driving nearly 850ks 7 days a week, week in/week/out would get very tired.but you probably know all of that anyway

Sydney taxis average 1000kms per day but they are on the road 24/7/365 are never get cold and run on LPG they also have low compression engines and heavy duty suspension to cope with being constantly driven a Mitsu doing similar mileage I dont think so

Already thought of that. Will go have a look after tea
Im not saying it cant be done but in three years is almost a physical impossibility doing 822ks per day with no servicing hell I want a car like that

Yeah it was, sadly I saw about 5 fatal accidents over a 2 year period driving through Pukerua Bay area .Very much doubt I could have driven 800ks every day and I love to drive.

Not saying its true, not saying its not.However I done a job where i drove 875kms a day. 935 if I had to go back to the start point, which I had to do sometimes. Started at 1am and home at 11.30 12am. That run was done every day (in a ute) 365 days a year unless the roads were blocked. It was shared between two drivers though. It was bloody hard work and left ya knackerd on ya days off. Not the driving but the hours it was done. Plays havoc with ya body clock. There were two utes if one needed servicing or broke down. So those kinda KMs can be done but for one person to do it would be some effort.And the ute never really broke down at all as it was all hot running I guess. You only shut it off for about half an hour in that time. And they never actaully got to 900000 as they replaced them before that. As for a normal person getting car srvice etc I guess youd have to double ya KMs the next day LOL.

I would assume the car was driven mostly through the South Island.Did the guy actually go home everynight or did he stop somewhere and carry on the next day.The South Island has beautiful roads compared to the North Island and I would not think there was anything to mentally wrong with him,he must of just simply loved driving and had no dependents and made the most of his retirement touring the countryside even if it was multiple times over and over.The only thing that must have cost a lot for the fuel and wear and tear on the car.Personally I would have travelled around the world and done some roadtrips overseas as well as here but good on him for keeping in New Zealand.So is the car still running well today and what about the driver is he ok.
