Its Only Numbers

[Baddad (Marty)]

We do lend some significance to numbers at times.
For some months now I had been watching the odometer in my ute.
Quite impressed with the motor and Japanese quality.

1999 Nissan Navara. The motor has no oil leaks and from one service to the next the oil level remains the same.

I do my own services.
A mechanic said, " You never push that motor!"
Well I suppose he is correct. I look after it and it responds well.

I placed the red towel as a light shield to obtain a clearer image.

Cheers

Can't complain about that, Marty!

Japanese motors after often 'bullet proof'. The company ute was a Toyota Hilux and that vehicle got hammered and had been around the clock twice (bearing in mind the clock only went to 99,999 before ticking back to 0), without much maintenance.

When I saw the episode on Top Gear about the Hilux ute, and although I am usually sceptical about such things, I wasn't surprised it took such a hammering.

Not sure I can say the same thing about Jap cars now though, as there is just too much technology to be so tough.

I bought a HZ Holden Taxi, on gas from new, 600,000k's the engine is now in my HQ , the engine had never been rebuilt from new till I had a look inside, and it didnt need much work.

With Toyota's you normally get 250,000 + before the interior gets to grubby and you replace the vehicle. Yep, bulletproof mainly, run forever.
(Sell it to some teenager at 250,000 and you'll see it at some surf beach still running 5 years later !! )
