- That's nothing!!! I've owned my 1979 Nissan 200B for five years and in that time
- I've driven 140 000 of it's 261 000 (Yes, read the numbers, two-hundred and sixty
- one thousand) kilometres and used 23.670 shitloads of fuel. (Question, how much is
- a shitload!) and I do drive it to work, and home, and to Queensland and to Bathurst,
- and....

- Methinks we'd better newgroup aus.cars quick, aus.general readers are gonna get
- the shits with this!

- I've owned my cheap and nasty vinyl schoolbag (hang on, shouldn't this be in
- aus.schoolgirls?) (now *there's* a name for a newsgroup <grin>) for 12.5 years
- and and it and I have travelled on over 80,000 km (according to the odo!) by
- foot, rail and air, and didn't use a drop of petrol... :-)

- stuartb carries on with this pedantry...
-
- I've owned my 1982 model Casio FX-100a since well, 1982 and it that time it has
- done heaps of calculations, used not a drop of petrol. Last week I got the shits
- with it because the batteries I did my HSC (1985) with ran out. Bummer!
-
- next...
