That's close to 50k miles a year - or about 130 miles a day!!  That's one
heck of a commute!!

Subject:  OT: Guinness VW record

<<<<Highest car mileage  "Old Faithful," a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle
owned by Albert Klein of Pasadena, California, clocked up 1.6 million
miles before it was totaled on March 29, 1997.>>>>

Just thought you VW gurus would like to know.  Maybe Mr. Klein's phone
number is listed in the phone book and I can call him up and talk
about his VW.  So sad Old Faithful had to leave us.  I still haven't
come up with a name for my VW.  I wonder how many rebuilds old
Faithful had gone through to travel so many miles.  That and the other
things like generators, batteries, starters, points and condensers,
oil changes, plugs, clutch, tires, clogs in the fuel system, wheel
alighnments - just to name a few.  Most of all I'd like to know about
the details on the day it was totaled.
