Numerological inconsequensialities

My 1994 Toyota Corolla passed another 'milestone' yesterday.
Just keeps chugging along, much like me...

Does anyone else suffer from this obsession with number sequences?

Happy Christmas!

Chris

Hi,

That's great. I have a 1994 Camry which I'm going to keep for ever, and I'm keeping an eye on it for 234567 km. Not such a veteran yet as your Corolla

Cheers

Chris, you must have anticipated it by a few km since you managed to get both the total and trip meters to line up.

Many years ago Eddie Oliver (known to trainspotters and Macquarie Uni students) photographed his odometer with the car parked on one of the train platforms out Bathurst way. It showed 99999.9 miles - the most it could show.

Yes, I do anticipate these highlights, that's part of the obsession,
it's all part of the rich tapestry of my every day life!

What I particularly like is the 0123 below the 456789, all in order. Awesome coincidence.

Or did he reset the trip meter 12.3km ago in anticipation?
