This Volvo won't die!

[letsboogie351]

A US man will soon celebrate an unusual milestone, his car is about to hit 3 million on the odometer.

That number can take you around the world more than 1500 times.

Seventy-two-year-old Irvin Gordon held the Guinness world record in 2002 for highest mileage in the same car. He remains the record holder to this day, but will soon set a new record.

Mr Gordon bought the red Volvo in 1966 for just over four thousand dollars.

He takes regular car trips travelling to more than 6 US states a month.

He believes in taking care of his car and won't allow anyone else to drive it.

I wonder if I will live long enough to get that milage on the Cobra!

Impressive numbers, and the car still looks to be in good condition.

Perhaps more impressive is the journalist's grasp of maths. 1500 times around Earth = 37,351,500 miles...

Merv, I was actually thinking it looked a bit like a boat - no coincidence that Pelle Petterson went on to become an award-winning yacht designer!

Yes and he admits he never owned one of his most famous car designs, the P1800
