200?  Just a youngster!  'specially for a diesel.  My '91 gasser just turned
340,000 KM.  He's my daily driver, and I put 10,000 Km on him in the first
month that I had him (last fall) by driving from BC to Ontario and back.
Weird how we keep track of the landmarks with our vans, or even the little
things.  I think they're more a part of our lives that other cars/inanimate
objects/wives (oops, did I say that?).

Happy birthday!
